by Maria Hedblom

*(Apologies for possible cross-posting)* -- Call for participation -- *The Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO'22)---- Episode VIII: The Svear Summer of Ontology ----* 15-19th of August 2022 Jönköping, Sweden Link to IAOA's official JOWO website <http://iaoa.org/jowo/> Link to JU's event website <https://ju.se/en/collaboration/events-and-conferences/conferences/jowo-2022…> *--- The workshops and tutorials are presented at the end ---* Every year researchers from areas like philosophy, computer science, linguistics, conceptual modelling and cognitive science gather to participate in a series of workshops and tutorials related to ontology. The event is The Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO), an interdisciplinary umbrella conference centred on research in and application of ontologies. Biyearly, JOWO is co-located with FOIS, but being a large enough event on its own, every other year, JOWO is a freestanding event. The conference series' continuity is maintained by The International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA) <https://iaoa.org/>, a non-profit organization aiming to promote interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in formal ontology. Due to its unique format, JOWO offers an inspiring platform in which participants can engage with new knowledge in tutorials, present their own innovative findings in workshops, explore new research collaborations from nearby disciplines and network with researchers and practitioners at the event's social program. With seven previous episodes, the conference series has become a regular event on many people's yearly "must-join" lists! This year's venue is the mid-sized Swedish city of Jönköping. A city for nature lovers, it is beautifully located at one of Sweden's biggest lakes, Vättern, and is surrounded by lush forests, hilly hiking trails and even has a perfectly smooth yellow sand beach (for real!). JOWO itself will take place at Jönköping University's modern facilities located close to the city centre. Following JOWO tradition, this year's episode "The Svear Summer of Ontology" will be filled with interesting workshops, educational tutorials, impressive keynote speakers and a not-to-miss social program! At the end of this promotion email, you will find short introductions to this year's three tutorials and eight participating workshops. JOWO's scientific program is based on individual workshop submissions. Check out the links to the JOWO workshop below and consider submitting your research to join the summer's hottest ontology event! Information on how to submit your papers to one of the workshops can be found on the individual workshop's website. Stay tuned! More information on this year's unique program and how you can register is underway! We look forward to seeing you at JOWO in Jönköping in August!

Call For Papers FCA4AI (Workshop co-located with IJCAI-ECAI 2022)

by Amedeo Napoli

Sorry for duplicates... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- FCA4AI (Tenth Edition) -- ``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' co-located with IJCAI-ECAI 2022, Vienna, Austria July 23 or 24 2022 http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru/2022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Information. The preceding editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (from ECAI 2012 until IJCAI 2021) showed that many researchers working in Artificial Intelligence are indeed interested by powerful techniques for classification and data mining provided by Formal Concept Analysis. Again, we have the chance to organize the 10th edition of the workshop in Vienna, co-located with the IJCAI-ECAI 2022 Conference. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications and association rules) which can be used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology engineering as well as information retrieval, recommendation, social network analysis and text processing. Thus, there are many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI. Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending the possibilities of plain FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on pattern structures and relational context analysis, as well as on hybridization with other formalisms. These extensions are aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data, for solving complex problems in data analysis, classification, knowledge processing... While the capabilities of FCA are extended, new possibilities are arising in the framework of FCA. As usual, the FCA4AI workshop is dedicated to the discussion of such issues, and in particular: - How can FCA support AI activities in knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, machine learning, natural language processing... - By contrast, how the current developments in AI can be integrated within FCA to help AI researchers solve complex problems in their domain, - Which role can be played by FCA in the new trends in AI, especially in ML, XAI, fairness of algorithms, and ``hybrid systems'' combining symbolic and subsymbolic approaches. TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: - Concept lattices and related structures: pattern structures, relational structures, distributive lattices. - Knowledge discovery and data mining: pattern mining, association rules, attribute implications, subgroup discovery, exceptional model mining, data dependencies, attribute exploration, stability, projections, interestingness measures, MDL principle, mining of complex data, triadic and polyadic analysis. - Knowledge and data engineering: knowledge representation, reasoning, ontology engineering, mining the web of data, text mining, data quality checking. - Analyzing the potential of FCA in supporting hybrid systems: how to combine FCA and data mining algorithms, such as deep learning for building hybrid knowledge discovery systems, producing explanations, and assessing system fairness. - Analyzing the potential of FCA in AI tasks such as classification, clustering, biclustering, information retrieval, navigation, recommendation, text processing, visualization, pattern recognition, analysis of social networks. - Practical applications in agronomy, astronomy, biology, chemistry, finance, manufacturing, medicine... The workshop will include time for audience discussion aimed at better understanding of of the issues, challenges, and ideas being presented. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: May 23 2022 Notification to authors: June 20 2022 Final version: July 01 2022 Workshop: July 23 or 24 2022 SUBMISSION DETAILS: The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format in Springer's LNCS style. Submissions can be: - technical papers not exceeding 12 pages, - system descriptions or position papers on work in progress not exceeding 6 pages. Submissions are via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fca4ai2022 The workshop proceedings will be published as CEUR proceedings (see preceding editions in CEUR Proceedings Vol-2972, Vol-2729, Vol-2529, Vol-2149, Vol-1703, Vol-1430, Vol-1257, Vol-1058, and Vol-939).
