Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR) Special Track on Deep Learning, Knowledge Representation, and Reasoning
(http://www.jair.org/specialtrack-dlkrr-call.html <http://www.jair.org/specialtrack-dlkrr-call.html>)


We are pleased to invite papers for submission to a JAIR special track on deep learning, KR, and reasoning, as such also naturally targeting work in neural-symbolic integration and related areas. 

The recent success of deep neural networks at tasks such as language modelling, computer vision, and speech recognition has attracted considerable interest from industry and academia. Achieving a better understanding and widespread use of such models involves the use of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning together with sound Machine Learning methodologies and systems.

The goal of the special track is to serve as a home for the publication of leading research in deep learning towards cognitive tasks, focusing on applications of neural computation to advanced AI tasks requiring knowledge representation and reasoning. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: knowledge extraction and reasoning using deep networks, the representation of rich symbolic knowledge by neural systems, the integration of logic and probabilities using neural networks, structure learning and relational learning using recurrent networks, neural-symbolic cognitive agents and models, theory revision and transfer learning with neural networks, applications in natural language understanding, visual intelligence, audio, music and signal processing, multimodal learning, education and assessment, and other tasks of a cognitive nature.

The tentative timetable for the special track looks as follows:

Deadline for submissions: September 1, 2016
First round of notifications: December 1, 2016
Deadline for re-submissions: March 1, 2017
Final notifications: May 1, 2017
Final manuscripts due: June 1, 2017

We hope that this special track will provide a forum to our communities for showcasing highest-quality research and application work, by this establishing a repository which can serve as a form of "academic reference beacon" for future work to build upon.

Further details concerning submission formats and procedure can be found at http://www.jair.org/specialtrack-dlkrr-call.html <http://www.jair.org/specialtrack-dlkrr-call.html>.

On behalf of the track editor and associate editors,
