Dear collegues,
We would like to remind you that there will be three workshops and one
tutorial at the
International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis (ICFCA), July 17-21,
2023, Kassel (Germany).
The workshop deadline has been extended to June 8. Please find below a
short description for
each workshop. For more information on each workshop and the
contribution form, please visit
the conference website (Link
<https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/icfca2023/workshop-tutorials.html>)
and the individual workshop pages (see below).
We look forward to hopefully many interesting contributions and to
seeing you at the conference.
Best regards,
ICFCA Workshop Organizers

*Workshop “Computational Notebooks for FCA (CoNo-Concepts 2023)” *(Link
<https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/icfca2023/cono-concepts.html>)
Organizer: Uta Priss
Notebooks, in particular Jupyter Notebooks, are becoming increasingly
popular as a means
for documenting procedures, data, calculations, and findings for data
science applications
and teaching. In this workshop, FCA researchers will be able to present
and learn about
experiences with and ideas about using Jupyter Notebooks for FCA
research and teaching.
*Workshop “Preprocessing and Scaling of Contextual Data – PreSCoD”
*(Link <https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/icfca2023/prescod.html>)
Organizers: Tom Hanika, Johannes Hirth, and Ángel Mora Bonilla
In the recent years, the development of methods for scaling and cleaning
data have lagged
behind the general research in Formal Concept Analysis. The PresSCod
workshop aims to
raise awareness of this problem within the FCA community and beyond. At
the same time,
the workshop shall motivate researchers to devote some time to this
important part of
research and to develop novel theoretical and practical insights.
*Fake Context Challenge (FCC) *(Link
<https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/icfca2023/fcc.html>)
Organizers: Maximilian Felde, Tom Hanika, and Johannes Hirth
Data science and machine learning in particular are significantly
dependent on the quality
of the data. A special problem in this regard at present is the
manipulation of data through
modification or synthesis. With the proposed Fake Context Challenge
(FCC), we want to
address this problem and raise awareness, especially among the FCA
community. In particular,
with the help of the FCC, the development of adequate FCA methods to
detect data tampering
and data synthetization should be promoted.

General Information.
The preceding editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (from ECAI 2012 until IJCAI-ECAI 2022) 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 11th edition of the workshop in Macao, co-located with the IJCAI 2023 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 ==
Abstract submission: 22 May 2023
Paper submission: 25 May 2023
Notification of acceptance: 10 July 2023
Camera-ready due: 27 July 2023
The Program Committee of the 18th European Conference on Logics in Artificial Intelligence (JELIA 2023) invites the submission of technical papers for the conference that will be held in Dresden, Germany, from the 20th to the 22nd of September of 2023.
== AIMS AND SCOPE ==
The aim of JELIA 2023 is to bring together active researchers interested in the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence, in order to discuss current research, results, problems, and applications of both theoretical and practical nature. JELIA strives to foster links and facilitate cross-fertilization of ideas among researchers from various disciplines, among researchers from academia and industry, and between theoreticians and practitioners.
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research in all areas related to the use of logics in Artificial Intelligence, including, but not limited to:
* Abductive and inductive reasoning
* Applications of logic-based AI systems
* Argumentation
* Automated reasoning including satisfiability checking and its extensions
* Causality and logics
* Computational complexity and expressiveness
* Deontic logic and normative systems
* Description logics and other logical approaches to ontologies
* Knowledge representation, reasoning, and compilation
* Learning and reasoning
* Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming
* Logics in machine learning
* Logics for uncertain and probabilistic reasoning
* Logics in multi-agent systems, games, and social choice
* Neural networks and logic rules
* Non-classical logics, such as modal, temporal, epistemic, dynamic, spatial, paraconsistent, and hybrid logics
* Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics
* Planning and diagnosis based on logic
* Preferences and optimization
* Reasoning about actions
* Updates, belief revision, and nonmonotonic reasoning
Submissions describing implemented systems/applications and their application area(s) are also welcome.
== SPECIAL TRACK ==
This year's conference will include a Special Track on Logics for Explainable and Trustworthy AI. We welcome contributions that describe logic-based approaches to making AI more transparent, safer, and more trustworthy. The track aims to draw attention to this timely topic and create a space for discussing the role of logic. The papers accepted for the special track will be presented in dedicated sessions at the conference.
