THE 15th INTERNATIONAL REASONING WEB SUMMER SCHOOL - RW 2019
on ?Explainable Artificial Intelligence"
Bolzano, Italy, 20 - 24 Sep 2019
https://rulemlrr19.inf.unibz.it/rw2019
Late application deadline: 28 July 2019

The 15th Reasoning Web Summer School brings together leading AI researchers to 
share their ideas and knowledge about how to make AI more explainable. The 
school is a five-day intensive training course that interleaves lectures and 
hands-on sessions. Participants learn about exciting new methods and 
technologies, and at the same time get to know their peers and senior 
researchers in their area.

Reasoning Web is co-located with RuleML+RR 2019, GCAI 2019, and DecisionCAMP 
2019, which come together for the Bolzano Rules and Artificial Intelligence 
Summit (BRAIN).

==PROGRAM==

This year?s school program includes the following topics and lecturers:

* Logic-Based Learning - Alessandra Russo, Mark Law, Krysia Broda (Imperial 
College London)
* Explainable AI Planning - Jörg Hoffmann (Saarland University), Daniele 
Magazzeni (King?s College London)
* Explaining Data with Formal Concept Analysis - Sebastian Rudolph (TU Dresden)
* Knowledge Representation and Rule Mining in Entity-Centric Knowledge Bases - 
Fabian Suchanek (Télécom ParisTech University), Gerhard Weikum 
(Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik, Saarbrücken)
* Provenance in Databases: Principles and Applications - Pierre Senellart 
(École Normale Supérieure Paris)
* Efficient Reasoning and Explanation in Description Logic Ontologies - Yevgeny 
Kazakov (University of Ulm)
* Modest Explanations in a Memoryless World - Holger Hermanns (Saarland 
University), Arnd Hartmanns (University of Twente)
* Explanation-Friendly Query Answering Under Uncertainty - Maria Vanina 
Martinez (Universidad de Buenos Aires), Gerardo I. Simari (Universidad Nacional 
del Sur, Bahia Blanca)
* Constraint Learning - Stefano Teso (KU Leuven)

RW 2019 is aimed at a wide audience of young post-graduate researchers, most 
typically early-stage Ph.D. candidates, but also advanced Master students and 
more senior Ph.D. candidates and PostDocs who want to deepen their knowledge. 
Although no specific background knowledge is required for attending the summer 
school, basics of knowledge representation and reasoning will be helpful for 
benefiting from the contents of the school. Students are also committed to a 
full participation for the whole duration of the school.

==APPLICATION==

Students and researchers interested in participating should submit a short 
application by 28 July 2019 via EasyChair using the following link: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rw2019. Applications sent before this 
deadline might still receive notification before early registration.

The application should consist of a single pdf file that includes:
* A short statement of motivation (half a page)
* A CV (one page)
* If financial support is needed: a short statement that explains why support 
is needed to attend the school, and that gives a quotation for the cost that 
would need to be covered
* Whether a letter of invitation is needed for visa applications

==REGISTRATION FEES==

The registration fees for attending the RW Summer School will be 300 EUR (if 
your RW registration is bundled with the one for BRAIN 2019) and 350 EUR (if 
you choose to only register for RW), respectively. This includes all lectures 
and teaching sessions, lunches, coffee breaks, and a social event.

==STUDENT GRANTS==

A limited number of grants will be available for selected students who would 
otherwise not be able to attend the summer school. As such, please ask for 
financial support in your application only if this is the necessary condition 
for you to participate in the summer school.

==BRAIN 2019==

RW 2019 is part of BRAIN 2019, the Bolzano Rules and Artificial Intelligence 
Summit. With its special focus theme on "Beneficial AI", BRAIN 2019 brings 
together the 3rd International Joint Conference on Rules and Reasoning 
(RuleML+RR 2019), DecisionCAMP 2019, the Reasoning Web Summer School (RW 2019) 
and The 5th Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence (GCAI 2019).

BRAIN 2019 is supported by:
- Free University of Bozen-Bolzano -- http://www.unibz.it/
- Bosch -- https://www.bosch.com/
- Center for Perspicuous Computing (CPEC):
