Last Call for Course Proposals: ESSAI - European Summer School in Artificial Intelligence
by Roberto Navigli 23 Jan '23

23 Jan '23

*ESSAI - European Summer School in Artificial Intelligence*24-28 July 2023 Ljubljana, Slovenia *CALL FOR COURSE PROPOSALS* 1st European Summer School in Artificial Intelligence - ESSAI 2023 24-28 July, 2023 Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia https://eurai.org/essai ESSAI 2023 is organized jointly with ACAI 2023, the Twentieth Advanced Course on Artificial Intelligence, and with the third TAILOR Summer School on Artificial Intelligence. *IMPORTANT DATES:* 24 Jan 2023: Course Title submission deadline (mandatory) 31 Jan 2023: Final submission 28 Feb 2023: Notification The European Summer School in Artificial Intelligence (ESSAI) is a new annual summer school held under the auspices of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI). ESSAI build on initiatives of the EU project TAILOR, and the 1st edition of ESSAI is simultaneously the 3rd edition of the TAILOR Summer School. The ambition of ESSAI is to become the central meeting place for students and young researchers in Artificial Intelligence to discuss current research and share knowledge. ESSAI will provide an interdisciplinary setting in which courses are offered in all areas of Artificial Intelligence and also from wider scientific, historical, and philosophical perspectives. The format of ESSAI is analogous to the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI) which has been running since 1989. Courses will consist of five 90-minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week, to allow students to develop in-depth knowledge of a topic. The first ESSAI will be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia in between the 24th and 28th of July 2023. ESSAI 2023 aims to attract around 400 participants from all parts of Europe, as well as from North and Latin America, and Asia. *TOPICS AND FORMAT* ESSAI aims to cover all subdisciplines of AI and the interactions between them. Proposals for courses at ESSAI 2023 are invited in all areas of Artificial Intelligence, including but not limited to the following: - Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems (MAS) - Ethics, Legal Issues, Explainable and Trustworthy AI (XAI) - Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) - Natural Language Processing (NLP) - Neuro-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning (NeSy) - Planning & Strategic Reasoning (PLAN) - Reinforcement Learning (RL) - Robotics (ROB) - Search & Optimization (SO) - Supervised and Unsupervised Learning (ML) - Vision (VIS) Each course will consist of five 90-minute lectures, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. While foundational courses will typically focus on one subarea of AI, introductory and advanced courses are encouraged to present a broader perspective on AI, and should be of interest beyond one specific area. *CATEGORIES* Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories. * FOUNDATIONAL COURSES * Foundational courses present the basics of a research area to students with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be at an elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to become comfortable with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community. * INTRODUCTORY COURSES * Introductory courses are central to ESSAI's mission. They are intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques. Introductory courses should enable researchers from related disciplines to become competent in the course topic. Introductory courses that are cross-disciplinary may presuppose general knowledge of the relevant disciplines. * ADVANCED COURSES * Advanced courses are targeted primarily at graduate students who wish to acquire an understanding of current research in a field of Artificial Intelligence. *PROPOSAL GUIDELINES* To be considered, course proposals should closely adhere to the following guidelines: Course proposals must be submitted by the lecturers who will present the course. Normally, a course should have no more than two or three lecturers, and each lecturer should hold a PhD or equivalent degree. Course proposals should explicitly state the intended course category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for example, as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=essai2023 and include all of the following: a. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact address, email, homepage (optional) b. General proposal information: Title, category c. Information about the course content: Abstract of up to 150 words Motivation and description (up to two pages) Tentative outline Expected level and prerequisites Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys) d. Information about the proposer(s) and course: Proposers’ experience of delivering courses in an intensive interdisciplinary setting Evidence that the proposers are excellent lecturers Where there is more than one lecturer, the role of each lecturer and their teaching commitment to the course should be specified. To keep participation fees to a minimum, all the instructional and organizational work of ESSAI is performed on a completely voluntary basis. However, the registration fees of organizers and instructors will be waived, and travel and accommodation expenses will be reimbursed up to a level which will be communicated along with the proposal notification. ESSAI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one course lecturer, and can not guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers from outside of Europe. The organizers of ESSAI would appreciate any help in reducing the School's expenses by seeking partial or complete coverage of travel and accommodation expenses from other sources. *SUBMISSION INFORMATION* By Jan 24, 2023: Proposers must submit on EasyChair at least the name(s) of the lecturers(s), the ESSAI area+course level and a short abstract. By Jan 31, 2023: Submission must be completed by uploading a PDF with the actual proposal as detailed above. *SUBMISSION PORTAL* Please submit your proposals to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=essai2023 *PROGRAM COMMITTEE* Magdalena Ortiz, Umeå University (chair) Brian Logan, Utrecht University (associate co-chair) Sašo Džeroski, Jozef Stefan Institute Ljubljana (co-chair and ACAI chair) *AREA CHAIRS* Natasha Alechina, Utrecht University Kristian Kersting, TU Darmstadt Günter Klambauer, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz Ioannis Kompatsiaris, CERTH-ITI Roberto Navigli, Sapienza University of Rome Ann Nowé, Vrije Universiteit Brussel Alessandro Saffiotti, University of Örebro Sungho Suh, DFKI *ORGANIZING COMMITTEE* Aleksander Sadikov, University of Ljubljana Vida Groznik, University of Primorska, University of Ljubljana, Sašo Džeroski, Jožef Stefan Institute Jure Žabkar, University of Ljubljana *STANDING COMMITTEE* Giuseppe De Giacomo, Sapienza University of Rome, Head of SC and EurAI Board Representative -- ============================================== Roberto Navigli - Professor Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering Sapienza University of Rome Via Ariosto, 25 00185 Roma Italy Phone: +39 06 77274109 Home Page: https://www.diag.uniroma1.it/navigli/ Sapienza NLP Group: http://nlp.uniroma1.it Co-founder of Babelscape ==============================================

FOIS 2023 final CfP - deadline extended
by Selja Seppälä 21 Jan '23

21 Jan '23

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** FOIS 2023: 3rd Call for Papers - deadline extended ============================== 13th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS 2023), July 17-20, 2023 (Sherbrooke, QC, Canada) and Sept 18-20, 2023 (Online) http://fois2023.griis.ca <http://fois2023.griis.ca/> We are happy to announce three exciting keynote speakers for FOIS 2023: - Deborah McGuinness, Tetherless World Senior Constellation Chair and Professor of Computer and Cognitive Science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA - John Heil, Professor of Philosophy, Washington University, USA and Durham University, UK - Michael Gruninger, Professor of Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada More information about our keynotes speakers: https://fois2023.griis.ca/keynote-speakers/ <https://fois2023.griis.ca/keynote-speakers/> New dates ========== Abstract submission : January 31, 2023 Full paper submission : February 12, 2023 Definition and scope ==================== The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in formal ontology. Formal ontology is the systematic study of the types of entities and relations making up the domains of interest represented in modern information systems. The conference encourages submission of high quality, not previously published results on both theoretical issues and practical advancements. FOIS 2023 will have distinct tracks for foundational issues, ontology applications and methods, and domain ontologies. FOIS aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication for researchers from many domains engaging with formal ontology. Common application areas include conceptual modeling, database design, knowledge engineering and management, software engineering, organizational modeling, artificial intelligence, robotics, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics and scientific research in general, geographic information science, information retrieval, library and information science, as well as the Semantic Web. FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA: http://iaoa.org/ <http://iaoa.org/>), which is a non-profit organization promoting interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in formal ontology. Important dates (NEW !) =============== - Abstract submission deadline: January 31, 2023 - Paper submission deadline: February 12, 2023 - Author rebuttal period: March 24-31, 2023 (tentative) - Notifications: April 10, 2023 (tentative) - Camera-ready papers: May 1, 2023 - Onsite conference: July 17-20, 2023 - Virtual conference: September 18-20, 2023 The submission deadline for workshops will be after the notifications to allow authors to submit a revised version of rejected papers to any of the conference workshops if the paper topics are appropriate for this workshop. Location ======== FOIS 2023 will consist of a physical meeting and a virtual meeting: An in-person only meeting in Sherbrooke, Quebec from July 17 to 20, 2023 that will be very much like a traditional conference with keynotes, regular talks, workshops and tutorials and plenty of social and networking opportunities. This part will not have a remote participation option, but we plan on recording selected talks (e.g. keynotes). The main conference will be from July 17 to 19 and workshops and tutorials will be held mostly on July 20. This will be followed by an online part to be held from September 18 to 20, 2023 that offers an opportunity for presentation and discussion of additional papers that were not presented at the physical meeting in Sherbrooke. To plan for this two-part event, authors must at the time of submission indicate their preference and constraints for presenting either on site in Sherbrooke or virtually. Acceptance will be either for in-person presentation or for online presentation, at which time authors can no longer change the modality. Since the numbers of in-person and online presentations are limited, we encourage authors to be as flexible as possible to maximize your chance of paper acceptance. More details are provided in the Submission Instructions. Submissions =========== FOIS 2023 seeks three types of full-length (14 pages) high-quality papers on a wide range of topics: Foundational papers address content-related ontological issues, their formal representation, and their relevance to some aspect of information systems. Application and Methods papers address novel systems, methods, and tools related to building, evaluating, or using ontologies, emphasizing the impact of ontology contents. Domain ontology papers describe a novel ontology for a specific realm of interest, clarifying ontological choices against requirements and foundational theory, and showing ontology use. Please refer to the submission instructions for more details. As usual, the FOIS proceedings will be published by IOS Press. The conference will also offer workshops and tutorials related to formal ontologies. See the separate call for workshops and tutorials for more information. Topics of interest ================== Areas of particular interest to FOIS include the following: - Foundational Issues - Kinds of entities: particulars/universals, continuants/occurrents, abstracta/concreta, dependent entities/independent entities, natural objects/artifacts, events/processes - Formal relations: parthood, identity, connection, dependence, constitution, causality, subsumption, instantiation - Vagueness and granularity - Space, time, and change - Methodological issues - Top-level vs. domain-specific ontologies - Role of reference ontologies - Ontology similarity, integration, alignment, matching and entity reconciliation - Ontology modularity, patterns, and contextuality - Ontology evaluation, quality, reuse, adaptation, and evolution - Ontology compliance with FAIR principles - Formal comparison among ontologies - Relationship between conceptual modeling and ontologies - Relationship with cognition, language, semantics, and context - Connections between knowledge graphs and ontologies - Methodological issues in the applications of ontologies - Social issues, such as trust or bias, with respect to ontologies - Applications - Technical applications of ontologies, such as - Semantic Web - Other areas of AI (Machine Learning, Explainable AI, Rules) - Qualitative modeling - Systems applications of ontologies, such as - Ontology-driven information systems design - Ontology-based data access - Knowledge management - Information retrieval - Computational linguistics - Metadata management - Domain applications of ontologies, such as - Ontologies for business modeling - Ontologies for particular scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry, geography, physics, geoscience, cognitive sciences, linguistics, etc.) - Ontologies for engineering: shape, form and function, artifacts, manufacturing, design, architecture, etc. - Ontologies for the humanities: arts, cultural studies, history, literature, philosophy, etc. - Ontologies for the social sciences: economics, law, political science, anthropology, archeology, etc. - Ontologies for Open Science and dataset sharing - Domain-specific ontologies - Ontology of physical reality (matter, space, time, motion, etc.) - Ontology of biological reality (organisms, genes, proteins, cells, etc.) - Ontology of mental reality and agency (beliefs, intentions, emotions, perceptions, cognition, etc.) - Ontology of artifacts, functions, capacities and roles - Ontology of social reality (institutions, organizations, norms, social relationships, artistic expressions, etc.) Conference Organization ======================= General Chair: Antony Galton, University of Exeter, UK PC Chairs: Nathalie Aussenac-Gilles, IRIT-CNRS Toulouse, France Torsten Hahmann, University of Maine, USA Local Organization Chair: Jean-François Ethier, University of Sherbrooke, Canada Online Chair: Cassia Trojahn, IRIT Université Toulouse 2, France Workshop and Tutorial Chairs: Megan Katsumi, University of Toronto, Canada Emilio Sanfilippo, ISTC-CNR, Trento, Italy Early Career Chairs: Antoine Zimmermann, École des Mines de Saint-Étienne (EMSE), France Guendalina Righetti, Free University Bozen/Bolzano, Italy Demo & Showcase Chairs: Sergio de Cesare, University of Westminster, UK Tiago Prince Sales, University of Twente, Netherlands Publicity Chairs: Lucia Gomez Alvarez, TU Dresden, Germany Selja Seppälä, University College Cork, Ireland Proceedings Chair: Maria Hedblom, Jönköping University, Sweden Program committee: https://fois2023.griis.ca/conference-organization/ <https://fois2023.griis.ca/conference-organization/>

Call for Papers: LxGr2023
by Costas Gabrielatos 21 Jan '23

21 Jan '23

Symposium: Corpus Approaches to Lexicogrammar (LxGr2022) Call for Papers Deadline for abstract submission: Friday 31 March 2023 The symposium will take place online on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 July 2023. If you would like to present, send an abstract of 500 words (excluding references) to lxgr(a)edgehill.ac.uk<mailto:lxgr@edgehill.ac.uk>. Make sure that the abstract clearly specifies the research focus (research questions or hypotheses), the corpus, the methodology (techniques and metrics), the theoretical orientation, and the main findings. Abstracts will be double-blind reviewed, and decisions will be communicated within four weeks. Full papers will be allocated 35 minutes (including 10 minutes for discussion). Work-in-progress reports will be allocated 20 minutes (including 5 minutes for discussion). There will be no parallel sessions. Participation is free. The focus of LxGr is the interaction of lexis and grammar. The focus is influenced by Halliday's view of lexis and grammar as "complementary perspectives" (1991: 32), and his conception of the two as notional ends of a continuum (lexicogrammar), in that "if you interrogate the system grammatically you will get grammar-like answers and if you interrogate it lexically you get lexis-like answers" (1992: 64). For more information and details of past symposia, visit the LxGr website: https://ehu.ac.uk/lxgr. If you have any questions, contact lxgr(a)edgehill.ac.uk<mailto:lxgr@edgehill.ac.uk>. ________________________________ Edge Hill University<http://ehu.ac.uk/home/emailfooter> Modern University of the Year, The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022<http://ehu.ac.uk/tef/emailfooter> University of the Year, Educate North 2021/21 ________________________________ This message is private and confidential.
