ICGL 2018: Grammatical Inference

5-7 Sep 2018
Wroclaw, Poland

The 14th International Conference on Grammatical Inference

    September 5-7, 2018
    http://icgi2018.pwr.edu.pl

It is our pleasure to invite you to ICGI 2018, the major forum for 
presentation and discussion of original research papers on all aspects of 
grammatical inference. ICGI, which has been organized bi-annually since 
early nineties, this time will be hosted at Wroc?aw University of Science 
and Technology in Wroc?aw (Poland).

The theme of ICGI 2018 will include theoretical and experimental analysis 
of various models of grammatical inference and algorithms for induction of 
different classes of languages and automata. This year we especially 
encourage submissions related to the domain of bioinformatics, which will 
be presented at a special joint session with the collocated Polish 
Bionformatics Society symposium.

The confirmed keynote speakers include:

  * Colin de la Higuera (Nantes),
  * Johannes Söding (Goettingen),
  * Frits Vaandrager (Nijmegen).


    Topics of interest

  * Theoretical aspects of grammatical inference: learning paradigms,
    learnability results, complexity of learning.
  * Efficient learning algorithms for language classes inside and
    outside the Chomsky hierarchy. Learning tree and graph grammars.
    Learning distributions over strings, trees or graphs.
  * Grammatical inference from strings or trees paired with semantics
    representations, or learning by situated agents and robots.
  * Theoretical and experimental analysis of different approaches to
    grammar induction, including artificial neural networks, statistical
    methods, symbolic methods, information-theoretic approaches, minimum
    description length, complexity-theoretic approaches, heuristic
    methods, etc.
  * Novel approaches to grammatical inference: induction by DNA
    computing or quantum computing, evolutionary approaches, new
    representation spaces, etc.
  * Successful applications of grammatical inference to tasks in natural
    language processing such as unsupervised parsing, bioinformatics,
    web interface design, robot navigation, machine translation, pattern
    recognition, language acquisition, software engineering,
    computational linguistics, spam and malware detection, cognitive
    psychology, etc.


    Guidelines for authors

Papers must be submitted in pdf format through EasyChair. The total length of 
the paper should not exceed 12 pages on A4-size paper. The use of LaTeX is 
strongly encouraged. Prospective authors are strongly recommended to use the 
JMLR style file for LaTeX since we are going to publish all regular papers with 
The Proceedings of Machine Learning Research series. The conference proceedings 
will be submitted for indexing to the Web of Science Database.


    Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: May 15, 2018 Notification of acceptance: June 29, 
2018 Camera-ready copy: August 22, 2018 Conference: September 5-7, 2018


    Conference Chairs:

  * Olgierd Unold, Wroc?aw University of Science and Technology
  * Witold Dyrka, Wroc?aw University of Science and Technology
  * Wojciech Wieczorek, Silesian University in Katowice

Program committee consists of almost thirty recognizable researchers.

For any enquiries regarding general issues, the program, or if you are a 
potential sponsor, please contact: icgi2018@pwr.edu.pl

We look forward to seeing you at ICGI 2018.

Sincerely, Olgierd Unold, Witold Dyrka and Wojciech Wieczorek
