[fca-list] [CfP] [CoKA] : "Conceptual Knowledge Acquisition: Challenges, Opportunities, and Use Cases" workshop at CONCEPTS 2024

***CoKA: Call for Contributions*** ================================================================ 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/ Conference website: https://concepts2024.uca.es ================================================================ 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! ================== Keywords and Topics ==================     Knowledge Acquisition and Capture     Conceptual Exploration     Design Patterns and Paradigmatic Examples     successful use cases and real-world applications     challenges and lessons learned     application principles     missing theoretical foundations     missing technical infrastructure     integration with other theories and technologies ========================= 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. =================== Workshop Organizers =================== - Tom Hanika, University of Hildesheim - Sergei Obiedkov, TU Dresden - Bernhard Ganter, Ernst-Schröder-Zentrum, Darmstadt -- Dr. Tom Hanika Universität Kassel Tel.: +49 (0) 561 804 6252 https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/hanika ---------------------------------------------------------------------
