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

by Tom Hanika

***CoKA: --- Final Call for Contributions*** DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: *August 7th, 2024* (23:59 AoE) ================================================================ 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 *August 7th, 2024* (23:59 AoE) 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

ASPOCP 2024 @ ICLP- First Call for Paper

by cfp

[Apologies for cross-posting] ==================================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ASPOCP2024 17th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms https://sites.google.com/unical.it/aspocp2024/ <https://sites.google.com/unical.it/aspocp2024/> October 12 or October 13 Affiliated with ICLP 2024, 40th International Conference on Logic Programming https://www.iclp24.utdallas.edu/ <https://www.iclp24.utdallas.edu/> October 11 - 17, 2024 ==================================================================================== AIMS AND SCOPE Since its introduction in the late 1980s, Answer Set Programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems.ASPwas found to be closely related to SAT, which led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. This has been a much studied relationship, and is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). The relationship ofASPto other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), first-order logic (FOL), and FO(ID) is also the subject of active research. Consequently, new methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on relationships to these formalisms. Furthermore, the practical applications ofASPalso foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration ofASPwith description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web) and constraint satisfaction (which recently led to the Constraint Answer Set Programming (CASP) research direction). A large body of general results regardingASPis available and several efficientASPsolvers have been implemented. However, there are still significant challenges in applyingASPto real life applications, and more interest in relatingASPto other computing paradigms is emerging. This workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them. TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): -ASPand classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). -ASPand constraint programming. -ASPand other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). -ASPand other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. -ASPand external means of computation. -ASPand probabilistic reasoning. -ASPand knowledge compilation. -ASPand machine learning. - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. - Language extensions toASP. -ASPand multi-agent systems. -ASPand multi-context systems. - Modularity andASP. -ASPand argumentation. - Multi-paradigm problem solving involvingASP. - Evaluation and comparison ofASPto other paradigms. -ASPand related paradigms in applications. - HybridizingASPwith procedural approaches. - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding. SUBMISSIONS The workshop invites two types of submissions: - original papers describing original research. - non-original paper already published on formal proceedings or journals. Original papers must not exceed 13 pages (excluding references) and must be formatted using the 1-column CEURART style availablehere <https://drive.google.com/file/d/15jC34VXDf8GUMMpobnvaAaX0R4RSQ18v/view?usp=…>. A ready-to-clone overleaf project containing a 1-column CEURART style is availablehere <https://www.overleaf.com/read/cqxqwrgjccwk#deb4a7>.

Precall "Bilateral AI" (50 PhDs, 10 Postdocs), fall 2024

by Johannes Fürnkranz

Cluster of Excellence Bilateral Artificial Intelligence Pre-Call for Applications For the recently established Cluster of Excellence CoE Bilateral Artificial Intelligence (BILAI), funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), we are looking for more than 50 PhD students and 10 Post-Doc researchers (m/f/d) to join our team at one of the six leading research institutions across Austria (see below). In BILAI, major Austrian players in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are teaming up to work towards Broad AI. As opposed to Narrow AI, which is characterized by task-specific skills, Broad AI seeks to address a wide array of problems, rather than being limited to a single task or domain. To develop its foundations, BILAI employs a Bilateral AI approach, effectively combining sub-symbolic AI (neural networks and machine learning) with symbolic AI (logic, knowledge representation, and reasoning) in various ways. Harnessing the full potential of both symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches can open new avenues for AI, enhancing its ability to solve novel problems, adapt to diverse environments, improve reasoning skills, and increase efficiency in computation and data use. These key features enable a broad range of applications for Broad AI, from drug development and medicine to planning and scheduling, autonomous traffic management, and recommendation systems. Prioritizing fairness, transparency, and explainability, the development of Broad AI is crucial for addressing ethical concerns and ensuring a positive impact on society. The research team is committed to cross-disciplinary work in order to provide theory and models for future AI and deployment to applications. CoE Research Institutions: Johannes Kepler Universität Linz (JKU Linz) Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien) Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt (AAU) Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz) Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (WU Wien) Board of directors: Sepp Hochreiter (JKU Linz) Agata Ciabattoni (TU Wien) Thomas Eiter (TU Wien) Gerhard Friedrich (AAU) Christoph Lampert (ISTA) Robert Legenstein (TU Graz) Axel Polleres (WU Wien) Martina Seidl (JKU Linz) The call for applications will open on *** September 1,*** 2024.
