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

by Tom Hanika

***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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

[apologies for multiple postings] DL 2024 CALL FOR PAPERS - EXTENDED DEADLINES 37th International Workshop on Description Logics, DL 2024 June 18-21, 2024, Bergen, Norway Website: https://dl2024.w.uib.no Contact: dl2024 at easychair.org IMPORTANT DATES * March 25, 2024 Paper registration & abstract (EXTENDED) * April 2, 2024 Paper submission (EXTENDED) * April 29, 2024 Student grants application * May 8, 2024 Notification of acceptance & of student grants * June 3, 2024 Camera-ready version due All dates above are ‘Anywhere on Earth’, namely 23:59 UTC-12 * June 18-21, 2024 Workshop It is planned to hold DL2024 as an in-person event, that is, at least one author of every accepted paper has to physically attend the workshop. A generous number of student grants for participating in DL 2024 is available. GENERAL INFORMATION The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic research community. It is the forum in which those interested in description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss ideas, share information and compare experiences. The 37th edition will be held in Bergen, Norway, from June 18th to June 21st. WORKSHOP SCOPE We invite contributions on all aspects of description logics, including, but not limited to: Foundations of description logics: decidability and complexity of reasoning, expressive power, novel inference problems, inconsistency management, reasoning techniques, modularisation, ontology extraction, abductive and inductive reasoning, learnability Extensions of description logics: closed-world and non-monotonic reasoning, epistemic reasoning, temporal and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, query answering, reasoning over dynamic information Integration of description logics with other formalisms: database query languages, constraint-based programming, logic programming, rule-based systems, knowledge graphs, hybrid reasoning approaches Applications of description logics: ontology engineering, ontology languages, databases, ontology-based data access, semi-structured data, graph-structured data, linked data, document management, natural language, hybrid approaches combining logic and learning, explanations, planning, Semantic Web, cloud computing, conceptual modeling, web services, business processes, practical experiences, case studies, feasibility studies Systems and tools of all kinds around description logics: reasoners, ontology editors, ontology alignment, ontology extraction, ontology learning and mining, other support for ontology development, database schema design, query rewriting/answering/optimization, data integration, implementation and optimization techniques, benchmarking, evaluation, modeling STUDENT GRANTS A generous number of student grants for participating in DL 2024 is available for students with limited funding. The grants consist of a fixed amount that can be used to support with travel costs and/or registration fees. Grants will be given to motivated students who are genuinely interested in attending the workshop and lack sufficient funding. Preference will be given to students who have a paper (or abstract) accepted to DL 2024. Further information is available on: https://dl2024.w.uib.no/students/. INVITED SPEAKERS Camille Bourgaux - CNRS researcher at École Normale Supérieure (part of PSL University), France Gabriele Kern-Isberner - Technical University of Dortmund, Germany Ondřej Kuželka - Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic SUBMISSIONS DL reviewing is single-blind, so the names of the authors will be visible to the reviewers and should be indicated on the submitted files. We allow anonymous submission on request (see below). Submissions within the workshop scope may be of two types: A. Regular papers of up to 11 pages (excluding references). B. Extended abstracts of 2–4 pages (excluding references). Both regular papers and abstracts must be formatted using the new CEURART style, based on the DL-specific template available on: https://dl2024.w.uib.no/submissions/ and submitted via Easychair. Submissions of type A must contain enough substance that they can be cited in other publications and may not have appeared before (nor be under submission). A clearly marked appendix with additional proofs and evaluation data may be included. For submissions of type B, we highly encourage a clearly marked appendix with additional proofs, evaluation data, or extended version of your paper, which was accepted at another conference or which you submitted or plan to submit to another conference. Abstracts of papers accepted or under review at other venues must clearly state the venue where the paper has been submitted alongside its status. The appendix will be read at the discretion of the reviewers and will not be included in the proceedings. The appendix does not need to be in the CEURART format. Accepted submissions of both types will be selected for either oral or poster presentation at the workshop. Submissions will be judged solely based on their content, and the type of submission will have no bearing on the decision between oral and poster presentation. Anonymous Submission In justified cases, if you wish your submission to be handled anonymously (i.e. double-blind), please send an e-mail to the PC co-chairs explaining the reasons. You will receive instructions on how to proceed.
