[CFP] 28th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2023) at the HU Berlin, Second Call
by Kai Sauerwald Feb. 6, 2023

[Apologies for multiple postings.] ************************************************************ Second Call for Papers: 28th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2023) September 11th-13rd, 2023, Berlin, Germany Website: https://iccs-conference.org Twitter: @iccs_confs Contact us: contact(a)iccs-conference.org ************************************************************ *************** About ICCS: *************** The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) focus on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, human cognition, computational linguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive science. The ICCS conferences evolved from seven annual workshops on conceptual graphs, starting with an informal gathering hosted by John F. Sowa in 1986. Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) paradigms have been getting more and more attention. With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to human users. ICCS 2023 will take place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023. Scholars, students and industry participants from different disciplines will meet for several weeks of conferences, workshops, summer schools, and public events to engage with the broad topics, issues and challenges related to knowledge in the 21st century. Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). All papers will receive mindful and rigorous reviews that will provide authors with useful critical feedback. The aim of the ICCS 2023 conference is to build upon its long-standing expertise in graph-based KRR and focus on providing modelling, formal and application results of graph-based systems. In particular, the conference welcomes contributions that address graph-based representation and reasoning paradigms (e.g. Bayesian Networks (BNs), Semantic Networks (SNs), RDF(S), Conceptual Graphs (CGs), Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, Graph Databases, Diagrams, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, etc.) from a modelling, theoretical and application viewpoint. ********** Topics: ********** Topics include but are not limited to: Existential and Conceptual Graphs Graph-based models for human reasoning Social network analysis Formal Concept Analysis Conceptual knowledge acquisition Data and Text mining Human and machine reasoning under inconsistency Human and machine knowledge representation and uncertainty Automated decision-making Argumentation Constraint satisfaction Preferences Contextual logic Ontologies Knowledge architecture and management Semantic Web, Web of Data, Web 2.0, Linked (Open) Data Conceptual structures in natural language processing and linguistics Metaphoric, cultural or semiotic considerations Resource allocation and agreement technologies Philosophical, neural, and didactic investigations of conceptual, graphical representations ******************** Important Dates: ******************** - Abstract registration deadline: March 19th, 2023 - Submission deadline: March 26th, 2023 - Paper Reviews Sent to Authors: May 14th, 2023 - Rebuttals Due: May 21th, 2023 - Notification to authors: May 31th, 2023 - Camera-ready papers due: June 14th, 2023 ******************** Submission Details: ******************** We invite scientific papers of up to fourteen pages, short contributions of up to eight pages, and extended poster abstracts of up to three pages. Papers and poster abstracts must be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS style guidelines and not exceed the page limit. Papers will be subject to double-blind peer review, in which the reviewers do not know the author's identity. We recommend using services like https://anonymous.4open.science/ to anonymously share code or data. Anonymized works that are available as preprints (e.g., on arXiv or SSRN) may be submitted without citing them. Submission should be made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccs2023. All paper submissions will be refereed, and authors will have the opportunity to respond to reviewers’ comments during the rebuttal phase. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series. Poster submissions will also be refereed, and selected poster abstracts might be included in the conference proceedings.

Next sipta seminar: 13th january (Friday) at 3pm Paris time
by Sebastien Destercke Jan. 6, 2023

Jan. 6, 2023

Dear SIPTiAns and IP enthusiasts, We are delighted to announce our sixth SIPTA online seminar on imprecise probabilities (IP), and the first of this new year. These monthly events are open to anyone interested in IP, and will be followed by a Q&A and open discussion. They also provide an occasion for the community to meet, keep in touch and exchange between in-person events. The sixth seminar will take place on the 13th of January (Friday), at 3pm Paris Time. The zoom link is https://utc-fr.zoom.us/j/89529523919 This sixth seminar will consist of a joint talk aiming at providing an overview of recent advances and challenges in a given field. For this, we are very happy to have three different speakers that will each give their view on the topic of Engineering in IP (during a 1 hour talk in total). We are very happy to have as our speakers Alice Cicirello, the founder and the Head of the Data, Vibration and Uncertainty Group at Tu Delft, Matthias Faes, Chair for Reliability Engineering at TU Dortmund, and Edoardo Pattelli, Professor in Risk and Uncertainty Quantification and the Head of the Centre for Intelligent Infrastructure at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, at Strathclyde University. All of them have made impressive contributions as to how one can deal with imprecision and uncertainty in various engineering problems, with a very rich expertise in both theoretical and applied problems. We are very much looking forward listening to their thoughts about the state of IP in engineering! Curious? Then check out the abstract on the webpage of the SIPTA seminars: sipta.org/events/sipta-seminars. The zoom link for attending the seminar can also be found on that same page shortly before the event. So please mark your calendars on the 13th January, at 15:00 Paris Time, and join us for the occasion. And for those who missed the previous seminar and want to catch up, or simply want to see it again and again, it is now online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdsFlLudLjo. See you at the seminar! Sébastien, Enrique and Jasper
