CfA: International Conference on Inferentialism, Law, and Language AI, 10-13 September 2025, Zurich, Switzerland
by reto.gubelmann＠uzh.ch 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Please direct any inquiries to: conference-ile(a)unisg.ch CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Exploring Reasons, Rationality, and Rationalism International Conference on Inferentialism   10 – 13 September 2025   University of Zurich & University of St. Gallen   The University of Zurich’s Digital Society Initiative (DSI), Department of Philosophy, and Department of Computational Linguistics, together with the Institute of Law & Economics of the University of St. Gallen are pleased to announce their first international conference on Inferentialism, to be held from 10 to 13 September 2025 at the University of Zurich.   This four-day event will feature contributions from leading scholars in the field as well as selected presentations from emerging young researchers. We invite submissions of extended abstracts on any topic related to rationalism and inferentialism as developed in “Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons” as well as applications of inferentialism in AI and the field of law.   Confirmed Keynote Speakers   • Robert Brandom (University of Pittsburgh)  • Ulf Hlobil (Concordia University, Montreal)  • Damiano Canale (Bocconi University, Milan) The publication of “Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons” (Brandom/Hlobil 2024) last year has marked a milestone for both the technical and the philosophical development of inferentialist logic. This conference offers a first take on the book’s reception and its potential operationalization in such diverse research fields as Epistemology, Philosophy of Language, Legal Studies, and Natural Language Processing. We invite submissions of extended abstracts that fit one of the following topics: Day 1: Are Reason Relations Universal? The first day of the conference is dedicated to the question whether reason relations, conceived as the set of all good, radically open reason relations capable of encoding material inferences in natural language use, can make up one single consistent set. Given expressivist commitments to logic as a means of explication, wouldn’t this imply the existence of a “master base vocabulary”, comprising all other possible base vocabularies as its subsets? Day 2: Inferentialism in the Legal Sphere The legal discipline is characterized by complex and partly opaque argumentation structures. Inferentialism can help to reveal the reasons why courts and scholars may accept certain conclusions on legal issues and reject others. Our workshop aims to further develop ideas on how lawyers and legal scholars can improve their practice by better understanding the structure of reasoning in complex legal settings. Day 3: Neuro-Symbolic Language AI inspired by Inferentialism Inferentialism, conceived, as a philosophical theory of the relationship between meaning and logical inference, has started to inspire innovative approaches in the area of language AI. Proposals encompass a broad range of methods, ranging from combinations of neural and symbolic methods that are informed by inferentialist semantics, to attempts at building neural architectures from scratch that are inspired by inferentialist ideas of rationalizing structures. The goal of our workshop is to bring together experts working in a broad range of language AI. Submission Guidelines   • Submissions should take the form of extended abstracts (maximum 500 words).  • Abstracts must be submitted in English and prepared for anonymous review.  • In addition to the abstract, authors must include their name, institutional affiliation, and contact information in the body of the email accompanying the submission.  • Accepted abstracts will be allocated a 25-minute presentation slot, followed by discussion.  • Please submit your abstract in PDF format to the following email address: conference-ile(a)unisg.ch Important Dates   • Submission Deadline: 31 May 2025 • Notification of Results: 30 June Scientific and Organizing Committee   • Reto Gubelmann (University of Zurich)  • Peter Hongler (University of St. Gallen)  • Ghassen Karray (University of Zurich)  • Marco Toscano (University of Zurich)    For further inquiries, please contact the organizing committee at: conference-ile(a)unisg.ch

[CFP] The Second Workshop on Multimodal Semantic Representations
by richardbrutti＠gmail.com 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Multimodal Semantic Representations (MMSR II) Co-located with IWCS 2025 (https://iwcs2025.github.io/) 22-24 September, Düsseldorf, Germany (workshop on 24 September) Workshop website: https://mmsr-workshop.github.io/ Description: The demand for more sophisticated natural human-computer and human-robot interactions is rapidly increasing as users become more accustomed to conversation-like interactions with AI and NLP systems. Such interactions require not only the robust recognition and generation of expressions through multiple modalities (language, gesture, vision, action, etc.), but also the encoding of situated meaning. When communications become multimodal, each modality in operation provides an orthogonal angle through which to probe the computational model of the other modalities, including the behaviors and communicative capabilities afforded by each. Multimodal interactions thus require a unified framework and control language through which systems interpret inputs and behaviors and generate informative outputs. This is vital for intelligent and often embodied systems to understand the situation and context that they inhabit, whether in the real world or in a mixed-reality environment shared with humans. Furthermore, multimodal large language models appear to offer the possibility for more dynamic and contextually rich interactions across various modalities, including facial expressions, gestures, actions, and language. We invite discussion on how representations and pipelines can potentially integrate such state-of-the-art language models. We solicit papers on multimodal semantic representation, including but not limited to the following topics: - Semantic frameworks for individual linguistic co-modalities (e.g. gaze, facial expression); - Formal representation of situated conversation and embodiment, including knowledge graphs, designed to represent epistemic state; - Design, annotation, and corpora of multimodal interaction and meaning representation; - Challenges (including cross-lingual and cross-cultural) in multimodal representation and/or processing; - Criteria or frameworks for evaluation of multimodal semantics; - Challenges in aligning co-modalities in formal representation and/or NLP tasks; - Design and implementation of neurosymbolic or fusion models for multimodal processing (with a representational component); - Methods for probing knowledge of multimodal (language and vision) models; - Virtual and situated agents that embody multimodal representations of common ground. Submission Information: Two types of submissions are solicited: long papers and short papers. Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 8 pages, excluding references. Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or ongoing research) must not exceed 4 pages, excluding references. Accepted papers get an extra page in the camera-ready version. We strongly encourage students to submit to the workshop. Papers should be formatted using the IWCS style files, available at: https://iwcs2025.github.io/call_for_papers Submission Link: https://openreview.net/group?id=IWCS/2025/Workshop/MMSR Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Submission Format All long, short, and non-archival submissions must follow the two-column ACL 2025 format. Authors are expected to use the LaTeX or Microsoft Word style template (https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files). Submissions must conform to the official ACL style guidelines contained in these templates. Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format. Submission Link and Deadline For Direct Submissions Authors have to fill in the submission form in the OpenReview system and upload a PDF of their paper before April 17, 2025, 11:59 pm UTC-12h (anywhere on earth). https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2025/Workshop/ArgMining For the ARR commitment process, we will provide details in our second call for papers. Double Blind Review ArgMining 2025 will follow the ACL policies for preserving the integrity of double-blind review for long and short paper submissions. Papers must not include authors’ names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references or links (such as GitHub) that reveal the author’s identity, e.g., “We previously showed (Smith, 1991) …” must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as “Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) …” Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Papers should not refer, for further detail, to documents that are not available to the reviewers. For example, do not omit or redact important citation information to preserve anonymity. Instead, use the third person or named reference to this work, as described above (“Smith showed” rather than “we showed”). Papers may be accompanied by a resource (software and/or data) described in the paper, but these resources should also be anonymized. Unlike long and short papers, demo descriptions will not be anonymous. Demo descriptions should include the authors’ names and affiliations, and self-references are allowed. ANONYMITY PERIOD (taken from the ACL call for papers in verbatim for the most part) We follow the ACL Policies for Review and Citation. Submissions must be anonymized, but there is no anonymity period or limitation on posting or discussing non-anonymous preprints while the work is under peer review. BEST PAPER AWARD In order to recognize significant advancements in argument mining science and technology, ArgMining 2025 will include the Best Paper award. All papers at the workshop are eligible for the best paper award, and a selection committee consisting of prominent researchers in the fields of interest will select the award recipients.
