Conceptual Knowledge Acquisition: Challenges, Opportunities, and Use Cases
Workshop at the 1st International Joint Conference on
Conceptual Knowledge Structures (CONCEPTS 2024)
September 9–13 2024, Cádiz, Spain
Workshop Website: https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/coka/

================================================================
Formal concept analysis (FCA) can help make sense of data and the underlying
domain --- provided the data is not too big, not too noisy, representative of
the domain, and if there is data in the first place. What if you don’t have such
data readily available but are prepared to invest in collecting it and have
access to domain experts or other reliable queryable sources of information?
Conceptual exploration comes to the rescue!
Conceptual exploration is a family of knowledge-acquisition techniques within
FCA. The goal is to build a complete implicational theory of a domain (with
respect to a fixed language) by posing queries to a domain expert. When properly
implemented, it is a great tool that can help organize the process of scientific
discovery.
Unfortunately, proper implementations are scarce and success stories of using
conceptual exploration are somewhat rare and limited in scope. With this
workshop, we intend to analyze the situation and, maybe, find a solution. If
- you succeeded in acquiring new knowledge about or building a satisfying
conceptual representation of some domain with conceptual exploration before;
- you attempted conceptual exploration in application to your problem but failed
miserably;
- you want to use conceptual exploration to analyze some domain, but you don’t
know where and how to start;
- you are aware of alternatives to conceptual exploration;
then come to the workshop to share your experiences, insights, ideas, and
concerns with us!

=========================
Duration, Format, and Dates
=========================
We invite contributions in the form of an extended abstract of up to two pages.
In addition, supplementary material, such as data sets, detailed descriptions,
or visualizations, may be submitted.
The workshop is planned for half a day within the conference dates and at the
same venue. It will consist of several short presentations each followed by a
plenary discussion.
Please send your contributions until *July 10, 2024* to
tom.hanika(a)uni-hildesheim.de. If you are not sure whether your contribution
matches the topics or the format of the workshop, you are welcome to contact the
organizers prior to submitting the abstract. An acceptance notification will be
sent within two weeks upon receiving the submission.
