JURIX 2023 - The 36th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Infor mation Systems Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands. 18-20 December 2023. https://jurix23.maastrichtlawtech.eu/ (Long, short, demo) paper submission: 8 September. Abstract submission (rec ommended): 1 September. Topics ----------------------------------------------- For more than 30 years, the JURIX conference has provided an international forum for research on the intersection of Law, Artificial Intelligence, and Information Systems, under the auspices of the JURIX Foundation for Legal Knowledge Systems. The purpose of the JURIX conference series is to foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, students, dedicated to exploring recen t advancements, challenges, and opportunities of technologies applied to le gal and para-legal activities. We invite submissions of original papers on legal information, legal knowledge systems, artificial intelligence and law , computational and socio-technical approaches to law and other normative s ystems, covering foundations, methods, tools, systems, interfaces, and appl ications. Papers should demonstrate added value, novelty of contribution an d/or analysis, significance of the work, (formal) validity and/or proper ev aluation. Topics include, but are not limited to: I - Logics and Normative Systems - Computational theories of law - Computational representations of legal rules and domain-specific language s (DSLs) for law - Formal logics and computational models of legal reasoning and decision-ma king (e.g., argumentation, statutory, rule-based, case-based, evidential re asoning), including relevant concepts such as qualification, causation, res ponsibility - Formal models of norms and norm-governed systems - Knowledge representation, knowledge engineering, and ontologies in the le gal domain - Semantic web, open and linked data, mark-up languages for the legal domain - Normative reasoning by autonomous agents; multi-agent systems: norm opera tionalization, norm emergence - Computational methods for agent-based modelling for policy-making and nor m-making - Computational methods for negotiation, contract formation, dispute resolu tion - Computational methods for preference aggregation and voting - Computational methods for compliance-checking, authorization, auditing, a nd regulation - Computational methods for AI and Data Governance II - Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning - Argument mining on legal texts - Machine learning methods and models for legal document classification, in formation retrieval, automatic summarization of legal text - Machine learning methods and models in support to regulatory and contract drafting - Natural language processing for legal text analysis, including law-specif ic standard NLP tasks (Named Entity Recognition, Semantic Role Labelling, T ranslation, etc.) - Information extraction, text understanding (e.g. entailment) from legal d ata and texts - Question-answering systems, chatbots, and dialog systems in the legal dom ain - Network analysis applied to legal documents (statutory law, case law, jur isprudence) and legal data. - Knowledge discovery, Causal discovery, and Process mining in the legal do main - Recommender systems in the legal domain III - Cognitive and Socio-Technical Systems - Cognitive computing and AI-enabled information systems for legal knowledg e management (legal research and case management), legal data visualization , and decision support. - Hybrid architectures (symbolic and sub-symbolic) in legal applications - Human-computer interaction in legal applications - Explainable AI for legal applications - Fairness and bias mitigation in AI systems for legal practices - Technical regulation of AI, data-sharing, information processing, and com puting systems - AI-enabled information systems improving access to justice and equal oppo rtunities - e-government, e-democracy, and e-justice - AI applications in legal education and training - Intelligent legal tutoring systems, intelligent support systems for foren sics Submission and publication ----------------------------------------------- The deadline for paper submission is September 8th, 2023, all over the eart h. Abstract submission (September 1st) is recommended. All submissions shou ld be formatted using the styles and guidelines in the IOS Press Instructio ns for Authors (https://www.iospress.com/book-article-instructions). Papers are to be submitted in PDF format through Easychair (https://easychair.org /conferences/?conf=jurix2023). There are three categories of papers: long, short, and demo. Please indicat e a category when you submit your paper. - Long papers: reports of well-developed and original research. An accepted long paper scores well in terms of relevance, originality, technical quali ty, significance, literature review, presentation, reviewers confidence, and overall evaluation. These should not exceed 10 pages (including refere nces). A paper which is not accepted as a long paper may be recommended by reviewers as a short paper. - Short papers: (short) descriptions of preliminary results or an innovativ e idea. These papers should not exceed 6 pages (including references). - Demo papers: (short) descriptions of a system. These papers should not ex ceed 4 pages (including references). Authors of demo papers should be willi ng to share (a screencast of) the demo privately with the reviewers, if so requested. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another jou rnal or conference. The conference proceedings will be published by IOS Pre ss as gold open access in their series Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications (FAIA) (https://www.iospress.com/catalog/book-series/fron tiers-in-artificial-intelligence-and-applications). Important dates ----------------------------------------------- Abstract submission deadline: 1 September 2023 (recommended) Paper submission (short, long, demo) deadline: 8 September 2023 Notification of acceptance: 13 October 2023 Camera-ready deadline: 20 October 2023 Workshops, Tutorials, and Doctoral Consortium: 18 December 2023 Main Conference: 19-20 December 2023 For your information there is also a Workshop and Tutorials call for propos als, with deadline 8 september, see https://jurix23.maastrichtlawtech.eu/ca lls/#call-for-workshops-and-tutorials Organization and contacts ----------------------------------------------- Program Chair: Giovanni Sileno, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Net herlands Organizing co-chairs: Gijs van Dijck, Konrad Kollnig, Jerry Spanakis, and A urelia Tamo-Larrieux, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands For questions, please contact the Program Chair (g.sileno@uva.nl) or the Or ganizing Chairs (law-techlab@maastrichtuniversity.nl). -- [LOGIC] mailing list, provided by DLMPST More information (including information about subscription management) can be found here: http://dlmpst.org/pages/logic-list.php
