Submissions: ============ Authors are required to choose from one of the following two submission categories: [Abstract Only] and [Abstract+Full Paper]. For both categories, authors must submit abstracts (anonymous, up to 4 pages including figures and references, A4 size, 12-point font) on original, unpublished research. Abstracts must be submitted electronically in PDF at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lenls20 Upon acceptance, authors (both categories) are expected to submit extended abstracts (up to 5 pages) before the workshop. Note that abstracts submitted to the [Abstract+Full Paper] category may be accepted in the [Abstract Only] category (but not vice versa). The proceedings of the workshop will be made available online, including extended abstracts (both categories). Authors submitting to the [Abstract+Full Paper] category are required to submit a full paper (up to 14 pages) for the post-proceedings volume after the conference and must agree to review at least one other full paper. Selected Papers: ================ LENLS20 is held under the umbrella of The Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI). The collection of full papers will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, in accordance with the contract between Springer Nature Switzerland AG and FoLLI. Important dates: ================ Abstract submission deadline: Aug. 31, 2023 Notification of acceptance: Oct. 1, 2023 Deadline for author registration: Oct. 14, 2023 Deadline for early registration: Oct. 29, 2023 Deadline for the revised abstract: Oct. 29, 2023 LENLS20: Nov. 18-20, 2023 Deadline for full papers: Dec. 15, 2023 Sponsor: ======== LENLS is being organized by an alliance of "AI systems that can explain by language based on knowledge and reasoning (https://www.jst.go.jp/kisoken/crest/en/project/1111109/1111109_2020.html)" project (Grant Number JPMJCR20D2), funded by JST CREST Programs "Core technologies for trusted quality AI systems (https://www.jst.go.jp/kisoken/crest/en/research_area/ongoing/area2020-4.html)."
