15th ESAO webinar: Jerome Euzenat on Ontology evolution, March 20th 2025 15:00 UTC

by Cassia TROJAHN

Dear all, The Educational Series on Applied Ontology (ESAO) [1] is open for everyone and welcomes students, researchers and practitioners alike. The 15h ESAO webinar will be held on Thursday March 20th, 2025 at 16:00 CET. --------------------------- When and how to connect Thursday March 20th, 2025 15:00 UTC / 16:00 CET / 17:00 SAST (see more local times [2]) Duration: 60 minutes Video conference (via Zoom) :https://univ-tlse2.zoom.us/j/92895546685?pwd=DQD7Wzf3ZJw02LJ2hHmrVDwdN474PZ.1 --------------------------- Program 15:00 - 16:00 UTC / 16:00 - 17:00 CET / 17:00 - 18:00 SAST / 12:00 - 13:00 UTC-3 Jérôme Euzenat, INRIA & Univ. Grenoble Alpes, France Ontology evolution Abstract: Unless considering ontologies as transcendental and perfect, they need to evolve. This may be because the world they represent evolves or the purpose they fulfill requires it. In general, what triggers evolution is the inadequacy of an ontology. Restoring it may be carried out by human designers or automatic means, but it is worthwhile that they follow rules. In this short presentation, we will discuss two techniques that may help evolving ontologies: belief revision and artificial cultural evolution. How they are different and how they are alike. Best regards Cassia Trojahn, Frank Loebe, Laure Vieu On behalf of the IAOA Education Committee [1]https://wiki.iaoa.org/index.php/Edu:ESAO [2]https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20250320T1500

Main topics include but are not limited to: * Fundamental aspects of Formal Concept Analysis (e.g., FCA theory, concept lattices, algorithms and computational complexity) * Conceptual graphs, graph-based models for human reasoning * Knowledge spaces and learning spaces * Fuzzy, relational, and/or triadic conceptual structures * Conceptual knowledge acquisition, management, exploration, analysis, and/or visualization * Probabilistic or approximative approaches to conceptual knowledge * Bridging conceptual structures to information sciences, artificial intelligence, data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, database theory, software engineering, and other areas of computer science * Ontologies, semantic web, knowledge graphs, and their relation to conceptual knowledge structures such as concept lattices and conceptual graphs. * Conceptual structures in natural language processing and linguistics * Understanding real-world data and modeling real-world phenomena with conceptual structures (e.g., applications in digital humanities, cybersecurity, biology, medicine, social network analysis) * Psychology, philosophy, and conceptual structures. ** *Submission details:* Submissions are invited on significant, original (previously unpublished) research on the topics of the conference: * Journal-track papers up to 26 pages, to be published in a special issue of the_<https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/international-journal-of-approximate-…>__International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (IJAR) <https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/international-journal-of-approximate-…>_; * Regular papers up to 16 pages and short papers up to 8 pages are to be published by Springer in the LNAI series as a proceedings volume. All submissions will be subject to single-blind peer review. Accepted papers have to be presented at the conference on-site. Therefore, at least one author per paper has to register timely and attend the conference on-site. *Important dates and submission instructions:* /***Journal-track submissions***/ - Full paper submission: *March 23, 2025 (AoE)* - Paper reviews sent to authors: *May 9, 2025* - Revised submission: *June 9, 2025* - Notification of acceptance: *July 6, 2025* ** Manuscripts must be submitted via the /International Journal of Approximate Reasoning/ online submission system (Editorial Manager®): _https://www.editorialmanager.com/ija/default2.aspx <https://www.editorialmanager.com/ija/default2.aspx>_ Please select the article type “*VSI: CONCEPTS 2025*” when submitting your manuscript online. /***Regular and short papers***/ - Abstract submission: *March 24, 2025 (AoE)* - Full paper submission: *March 31, 2025 (AoE)* - Notification of acceptance: *May 21, 2025* - Camera-ready papers due: *June 5, 2025* Submission link:_<https://equinocs.springernature.com/home>_https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/concepts2025 <https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/concepts2025> Please select the appropriate category for your submitted manuscript, “regular paper” or “short paper.” Please visit the page_<https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>__Information for authors <https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…>_ on Springer's website for templates and formatting style. *Organization:* _General and Conference Chair:_ Christian Săcărea, Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania _Program Chairs:_ Peggy Cellier, IRISA/INSA Rennes, France Bernhard Ganter, TU Dresden, Germany Rokia Missaoui, Université du Québec en Outaouais, Canada _Local organizer Committee:_ Christian Săcărea, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, România Diana Cristea, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Diana Șotropa, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca _Executive Board:_ Jaume Baixeries, Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain Radim Belohlavek, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic Tanya Braun, University of Münster, Germany Madalina Croitoru, University of Montpellier, France Sébastien Ferré, University of Rennes, France Sergei Kuznetsov, HSE University, Moscow, Russia Rokia Missaoui, Université du Québec en Outaouais, Canada Amedeo Napoli, LORIA, Nancy, France Sergei Obiedkov, TU Dresden, Germany Manuel Ojeda-Aciego, University of Malaga, Spain Uta Priss, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Wolfenbüttel, Germany Gerd Stumme, University of Kassel, Germany _Program Committee:_ Jaume Baixeries, Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain Alexandre Bazin, LIRMM, Montpellier, France Mike Behrisch, Technische Universität Wien, Austria Sadok Ben Yahia, Technology University of Tallinn, Estonia Karell Bertet, La Rochelle University, France Inma P.
