We invite you to submit papers to the 19th International Conference on 
Neurosymbolic Learning and Reasoning (NeSy 2025), held in Santa Cruz 
(CA, USA)from September 8-10, 2025.

NeSy is the premier annual conference of the research community working 
on neurosymbolic AI, integrating symbolic and neural approaches to 
learning, reasoning, and problem-solving in AI. Accepted papers of NeSy 
2025 will be published in a volume ofProceedings of Machine Learning 
Research (PMLR) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/>.

===== Subject Areas =====

The NeSy conference invites theoretical, experimental and applied 
submissions on the integration of neural networks and symbolic AI.

This year, we have three Special Tracks:

  *

    Neurosymbolic Generative Models
    <https://2025.nesyconf.org/nesy-generative-models>;

  *

    Knowledge Graphs, Ontologies and Neurosymbolic AI
    <https://2025.nesyconf.org/kgs-ontologies>;

  *

    Neurosymbolic Methods for Trustworthy and Interpretable AI
    <https://2025.nesyconf.org/thrusworthy-interpretable>

In addition, we invite papers on all topics related to Neurosymbolic AI, 
including but not limited to

  *

    Informed Machine Learning;

  *

    Addressing knowledge representation and reasoning tasks using neural
    networks;

  *

    Code generation and knowledge engineering with neural networks,
    including with LLMs;

  *

    Studying and improving LLM reasoning with Neurosymbolic methods;

  *

    Neurosymbolic cognitive modelling;

  *

    Languages for Neurosymbolic AI, including differentiable and
    probabilistic programming languages;

  *

    Embedding methods for structured information;

  *

    Circuits and knowledge compilation for Neurosymbolic AI;

  *

    Specification and verification of machine/deep learning systems;

  *

    Neurosymbolic methods for reinforcement learning, causality,
    structure learning, transfer, meta, multitask and continual
    learning, relational learning, graph neural networks;

  *

    Applications of Neurosymbolic AI, including in education, law,
    simulation, finance, healthcare, robotics, software engineering,
    systems engineering, bioinformatics, and visual intelligence;

===== Submission guidelines =====

  *

    All submissions should be made before the deadline onour OpenReview
    page
    <https://openreview.net/group?id=nesyconf.org/NeSy/2025/Conference>.

  *

    Please use the Latex templateavailable atthis link
    <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_SmJI3rx548k6KkTPP5QLZoJ8lois26D?usp=sharing>.

  *

    Both full and short paper submissions should be original pieces of
    work or position papers. They should not have been published
    elsewhere. We have a strict policy on double submissions.

  *

    Full and short papers will be in the conference proceedings of NeSy
    2025, which will be published with theProceedings of Machine
    Learning Research (PMLR) <https://proceedings.mlr.press/>.

  *

    Full papersubmissions should not exceed 10 pages, excluding
    references and supplementary materials.

  *

    Short paper and late short papersubmissions should not exceed 5
    pages, excluding references and supplementary materials.

  *

    Extended abstractsshould provide an overview of relevant papers in
    neurosymbolic AI and should not exceed 2 pages. The original papers
    should be recently published pieces of work at top conferences (e.g,
    NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, IJCAI etc.) and journals such as (e.g.,
    AIJ, JAIR, MLJ, IEEE TNNLS, NAI etc.).

The conference will be held in-person, and authors of accepted papers 
are required to attend the conference physically to present their work. 
Please note that the late paper and extended abstract notification is 
rather close to the conference to allow for late-breaking results — 
authors from outside the US need to make sure that they have enough time 
to obtain US visas.

Reviewingwill be double-blind. After notification, reviews of accepted 
papers will be posted online onOpenReview 
<https://openreview.net/group?id=nesyconf.org/NeSy/2025/Conference>along 
with the originally submitted version of the paper. Reviewers remain 
anonymous unless they opt in to them being named.

Accepted paper authors will be invited to submit extended versionsof 
papers to a special issue of theNeurosymbolic Artificial Intelligence 
journal 
<https://neurosymbolic-ai-journal.com/content/about-neurosymbolic-artificial-intelligence>.

All questions about submissions should be addressed to 
organisers at nesyconf.org.
