[SIPTA] Fwd: CfP: The First International Conference on Foundations, Applications, and Theory of Inductive Logic (FATIL'22)

by Sébastien Destercke

Forwarding an interesting call for siptians interested in logic and inductive logic in particular. ---------- Forwarded message --------- De : Matthias Thimm <matthias.thimm(a)fernuni-hagen.de> Date: lun. 4 avr. 2022 à 11:43 Subject: Re: CfP: The First International Conference on Foundations, Applications, and Theory of Inductive Logic (FATIL'22) To: Matthias Thimm <matthias.thimm(a)fernuni-hagen.de> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please forward this call to interested parties.] =========================================================================================== Second Call for Papers =========================================================================================== FATIL2022 The First International Conference on Foundations, Applications, and Theory of Inductive Logic http://fatil2022.krportal.org/index.html October 12-14, 2022 Description =========================================================================================== Inductive reasoning is one of the most important reasoning techniques for humans and formalises the intuitive notion of “reasoning from experience”. It has thus influenced both theoretical work on the formalisation of rational models of thought in Philosophy as well as practical applications in the areas of Artificial Intelligence and, in particular, Machine Learning. The First International Conference on Foundations, Applications, and Theory of Inductive Logic (FATIL2022) aims at bringing together experts from all fields concerned with inductive reasoning. This includes in particular the following aspects: - Foundations of many of our best theories crucially depend on inductive logic and more widely induction. Uncertainty is ubiquitous in our lives and the philosophical problem arises to make sense of probabilities and to act sensibly in the face of uncertainties. General philosophy of science is much interested in (the reconstruction of) rational inference in general and in science, in particular, in cases with inconclusive evidence. - Theory of inductive inference can be developed within several traditions such as pure inductive logic or inductive logic based on the maximum entropy principle. - Applications have sprung from foundational thinking on induction in computer and data science. This includes aspects such as knowledge representation in multi-agent settings and machine learning approaches (such as inductive logic programming). This conference welcomes contributions in all areas dealing with inductive reasoning. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Foundational works about inductive reasoning, inductive logic, and induction, in particular critical examinations of existing principles. * Computational approaches to inductive reasoning, in particular non-monotonic and other non-classical logics. * Computational approaches to reasoning under uncertainty. * Machine learning approaches taking inductive reasoning into account such as inductive logic programming. The conference specifically welcomes preliminary works and discussion papers on the above topics as well as interdisciplinary works. FATIL2022 is organised by the DFG Research Network “Foundations, Applications, and Theory of Inductive Logic” and will take place in Munich, Germany, October 12-14 2022. The proceedings of FATIL2022 will be published at CEUR-WS. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution for a special issue to be published in the Journal of Applied Logics. Keynote Speakers =========================================================================================== * Salem Benferhat (Artois University, France) * Luc De Raedt (KU Leuven, Belgium) * Dov Gabbay (University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg) * Henri Prade (IRIT, CNRS and University Paul Sabatier, France) * Wolfgang Spohn (University of Konstanz, Germany) * Sandy Zabell (Northwestern University, USA) Important Dates =========================================================================================== Paper submission deadline: May 13, 2022 Notification of acceptance: June 27, 2022 Camera-ready version: July 22, 2022 Conference: Oct 12-14, 2022 Submission =========================================================================================== We invite papers, which have to be in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS style (template), in the following two categories: * Full papers (12 pages max., including references) are expected to report on new research that makes a substantial contribution to the field. Additional details may be included in an appendix, which, however, will be read at the discretion of the PC. * Extended abstracts (2 pages max., including references) can report on research in progress or other issues of interest. Submissions are handled through the EasyChair conference management system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fatil2022) All papers will be subject to blind peer review based on the standard criteria of relevance, significance of results, originality of ideas, soundness, and quality of the presentation. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings via CEUR-WS, and will be presented at the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the contribution. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution for a special issue to be published in the Journal of Applied Logics.

[SIPTA] [CFP] DA2PL (From decision aid to preference learning) - First call for paper

by Sébastien Destercke

**** Please distribute to relevant sources of information **** ===========C A L L F O R P A P E R S============ DA2PL 2022: From Multiple Criteria Decision Aid to Preference Learning Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France November 17-18, 2022 https://da2pl.pre.utc.fr/ ======== AIM ======== DA2PL 2022 (From Multiple Criteria Decision Aid to Preference Learning) aims to bring together researchers from decision analysis and machine learning. It provides a forum for discussing recent advances and identifying new research challenges in the intersection of both fields, thereby supporting a cross-fertilisation of these disciplines. Following the five previous editions of this workshop, which took place in Mons in 2012, Paris in 2014, Paderborn in 2016, Poznan in 2018, and Trento (virtually) in 2020, DA2PL 2022 will be held at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France, the 17 and 18 november. ======================== DA2PL 2022 vs COVID-19 ======================== We expect DA2PL to be mainly a physical event. We will provide a virtual option for participants wishing to be there remotely, but will request at least one full registration per submitted paper. ======== TOPICS ======== DA2PL 2022 solicits contributions to the usage of theoretically supported preference models and formalisms in preference learning as well as communications devoted to innovative preference learning methods in decision analysis and multicriteria decision aiding. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - quantitative and qualitative approaches to modelling preferences, user feedback and training data; - preference representation in terms of graphical models, logicalformalisms, and soft constraints; - dealing with incomplete and uncertain preferences; - preference aggregation and disaggregation; - learning utility functions using regression-based approaches; - preference elicitation and active learning; - preference learning in combinatorial domains; - learning relational preference models and related regression problems; - classification problems, such as ordinal and hierarchical classification; - inducing monotonic decision models for preference representation; - comparison of different preference learning paradigms (e.g., monolithic vs. decomposition); - ranking problems, such as object ranking, instance ranking and label ranking; - complementarity of preference models and hybrid methods; - explanation of recommendations; - applications of preference learning, such as web search, information retrieval, electronic commerce, games, personalization, recommender systems, … ============= Submissions ============= Submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the electronic template that is available at https://da2pl.pre.utc.fr/wp-content/uploads/sites/70/2022/03/DA2PL22_templa… The page limit is 8 for full papers, although extended abstracts (maximum two pages) are welcome, too. As usual for DA2PL, submissions are NOT anonymous. According to the template, names of authors should be stated in the manuscript. All submissions will be reviewed by at least two referees. Submissions must be submitted through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=da2pl Following a successful experience from the latest editions, DA2PL will provide a special opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests. A special session at the conference will be devoted to PhD students, for presenting and discussing their ongoing research work. Therefore, we specifically encourage young researchers to submit their work (as full paper or extended abstract, depending on the maturity of the PhD project); the submission site will provide the option to mark a submission as a student paper. ================= Important dates ================= May 1st: submissions open September 1st: paper submission deadline September 30th: author notification November 3rd: Camera-ready version of papers November 17-18: Conference =========================== Organization and contacts =========================== General chairs Khaled Belahcene, Université de Technologie de Compiègne (khaled.belahcene(a)hds.utc.fr) Sébastien Destercke, Université de Technologie de Compiègne (sebastien.destercke(a)utc.fr)

[SIPTA] Lecturer position in Compiègne

by Sébastien Destercke

Dear colleagues, We will open a lecturer position in Compiègne this year, to join our AI team. While we are primarily seeking research profiles in statistical and machine learning, strong applicants whose focus is on reasoning under uncertainty (for learning or other tasks) are very welcome. The profile (written in french and english) can be found there: https://www.galaxie.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/ensup/ListesPostesPub…. Speaking french is not mandatory, as the courses can be given in english, although a reasonable grasp of french is certainly a plus in the short term (and a necessary condition for long-term survival in France), for instance to deal with the application website (french only). Just let me know if you're interested and please advertise to any possibly interested candidate. Best regards Sébastien -- ==================================== Sebastien Destercke, Ph. D.
