<p class="p1">Submission deadline: Apr 12, 2019 anywhere on earth<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">Notification: May 10, 2019<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">Camera-ready paper due: May 24, 2019<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">IJCAI-19 conference: Aug 10-16, 2019<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="p1">The NeSy workshop series is seen as a major venue for the presentation and discussion of key topics related to neural-symbolic computing. NeSy has provided an atmosphere for the free exchange of ideas and networking within the community of scientists
that straddle the line between statistical and symbolic methods in AI. We invite theoretical and applied submissions of all types that span both connectionist and symbolic learning paradigms. We further invite papers detailing experimental and in-the-wild
neural-symbolic systems and papers on topics where neural-symbolic learning has a strong use case.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="p1">Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Knowledge representation and reasoning in (deep) neural networks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Symbolic knowledge extraction from neural and statistical learning models<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Explainable AI models, systems, and techniques that integrate connectionist and symbolic paradigms<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Neural-symbolic cognitive models<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Biologically-inspired neural-symbolic integration<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Continual learning, integration of logic and probabilities with neural networks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Neural-symbolic methods for structured learning tasks, including transfer, meta, and relational learning<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Novel connectionist systems able to perform traditionally symbolic AI tasks (e.g., logical deduction)<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Novel symbolic systems able to perform traditionally connectionist tasks (e.g., unstructured data analysis)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">* Applications in simulation, fiance, robotics, the semantic web, software engineering, systems engineering, bioinformatics, and visual intelligence.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="p1">NeSy also invites short, clear, and well-written position papers for presentation and discussion during the workshop.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="p1">**Submission**<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="p1">Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original papers that have not been submitted for review or published elsewhere using the IJCAI paper style. Submitted papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in the case
of research and experience papers, or 3 pages in the case of position papers (including figures, bibliography and appendices). All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality, relevance, originality, significance, and soundness. Submissions need
not be double-blind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="p1">Submit your paper via: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nesy19<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">Selected papers will be presented during the workshop. The workshop will include extra time for audience discussion of the presentation allowing the group to have a better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being presented. Accepted
papers will be published in official workshop proceedings, which will be distributed during the workshop. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a revised and extended version of their papers to the Journal of Applied Logics, College Publications.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="p1">General questions concerning the workshop should be addressed to a.garcez@city.ac.uk<o:p></o:p></p>
