3rd international workshop in Neural-Symbolic Learning (NeSy07), Hyderabad, India, Jan 2007
Third International Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning
Workshop at IJCAI-07, Hyderabad, India, January 2007
NeSy'05 took place at IJCAI-05
NeSy'06 took place at ECAI2006
Call for Papers
---------------
Artificial Intelligence researchers continue to face huge challenges in
their quest to develop truly intelligent systems. The recent
developments in the field of neural-symbolic integration bring an
opportunity to integrate well-founded symbolic artificial intelligence
with robust neural computing machinery to help tackle some of these
challenges.
The Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning is intended to
create an atmosphere of exchange of ideas, providing a forum for the
presentation and discussion of the key topics related to neural-symbolic
integration. Topics of interest include:
* The representation of symbolic knowledge by connectionist systems;
* Learning in neural-symbolic systems;
* Extraction of symbolic knowledge from trained neural networks;
* Reasoning in neural-symbolic systems;
* Biological inspiration for neural-symbolic integration;
* Applications in robotics, semantic web, engineering,
bioinformatics, etc.
Submission
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original papers that
have not been submitted for review or published elsewhere. Submitted
papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in the
case of research and experience papers, and 2 pages in the case of
position papers (including figures, bibliography and appendices) in
IJCAI-07 format as described in the IJCAI-07 Call for Papers. All
submitted papers will be judged based on their quality, relevance,
originality, significance, and soundness. Papers must be submitted
directly by email in PDF format to nesy@soi.city.ac.uk
Presentation
Selected papers will have to be presented during the workshop. The
workshop will include extra time for audience discussion of the
presentation allowing the group to have a better understanding of the
issues, challenges, and ideas being presented. Please note that the
number of participants will be strictly limited.
Publication
Accepted papers will be published in official workshop proceedings,
which will be distributed during the workshop. Authors of the best
papers will be invited to submit a revised and extended version of their
papers to the journal of logic and computation, OUP.
Important Dates
Deadline for submission: 22nd of September, 2006
Notification of acceptance: 23rd of October, 2006
Camera-ready paper due: 3rd of November, 2006
Workshop date: 6th, 7th or 8th of January, 2007
IJCAI-07 main conference dates: 6th of January 2007 to 12th of January,
2007.
