20th International Conference on
Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, KR 2023
September 2 - September 8, 2023, Rhodes, Greece
First Call for Papers - Special Session on KR & ML
The last few years have witnessed a growing interest in AI methods that
combine aspects of Machine Learning (ML) with insights and methods from
the field of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR). This trend is
motivated by the clear complementarity of ML and KR. For instance, the
popularity and success of ML based systems has put issues such as
explainability, bias, fairness, sustainability, symbol grounding and so
forth, firmly in the spotlight, and addressing these issues naturally
leads to systems in which symbolic representations play a central role.
On the other hand, ML also offers solutions for long-standing challenges
in the field of KR, for instance related to efficient, neurally-guided,
noise-tolerant and ampliative inference, knowledge acquisition, and the
limitations of symbolic representations. The synergy between ML and KR
has the potential to lead to new advancements in fundamental AI
challenges including, but not limited to, learning symbolic
generalisations from raw (multi-modal) data, using knowledge to
facilitate data-efficient learning, speeding up inference, supporting
interpretability of learned outcomes and integration of symbolic
planning and reinforcement learning.
This year, for the third time, KR2023 will host a special session on
"Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning", which aims at providing
researchers and practitioners with a dedicated forum for the discussion
of new ideas and research results at the intersection of these two
fields. This special session will provide participants with the
opportunity to make meaningful connections and develop a shared
understanding of the challenges involved in developing innovative AI
solutions that rely on a combination of insights and methods from ML and
KR.
Expected Contributions
The Special Session on KR and ML at KR2023 invites submissions of papers
that combine aspects of KR and ML research, including the use of KR
methods for solving ML challenges (e.g. knowledge-guided or explainable
learning), the use of ML methods for solving KR challenges (e.g.
efficient inference, knowledge base completion), the integration of
learning and reasoning at modeling or solving side, and the application
of combined KR and ML approaches to solve real-world problems.
We welcome papers on a wide range of topics, including but not limited
to:
* Learning symbolic knowledge, such as ontologies and knowledge
graphs, action theories, commonsense knowledge, spatial and temporal
theories, preference models and causal models
* Logic-based, logical and relational learning algorithms
* Machine-learning driven reasoning algorithms
* Neural-symbolic learning
* Statistical relational learning
* Symbolic reinforcement learning
* Learning symbolic abstractions from unstructured data
* Explainable AI
* Expressive power of learning representations
* Knowledge-driven natural language understanding and dialogue
* Knowledge-driven decision making
* Knowledge-driven intelligent systems for internet of things and
cybersecurity
* Architectures that combine data-driven techniques and formal
reasoning
Submission Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria
The Special Session on KR and ML will allow contributions of both
regular papers (9 pages) and short papers (4 pages), excluding
references, prepared and submitted according to the authors guidelines
in the submission page.
The special session welcomes contributions that extend the
state-of-the-art at the intersection of KR and ML. Therefore, KR-only or
ML-only submissions will not be accepted for evaluation in this special
session.
Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by PC members who are
active in KR and ML. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the
originality, soundness, relevance and significance of the technical
contribution, as well as the overall presentation quality.
