SCOPE AND LOCATION
ICGI 2016 is the 13th edition of the International Conference on
Grammatical Inference series, held every two years.
The conference will be held at Delft University of Technology; in
Delft, the Netherlands, from October 5-7, 2016. Delft is one of the
most beautiful and historic cities in the world, situated in the
central (western) part of the Netherlands. The city is directly
accessible by train from Schiphol airport (a large international
airport near Amsterdam). The conference will be hosted in the
"Mekelzaal", a beautiful historic venue in a small science museum at
the university campus.
AREAS OF INTEREST
The conference is on grammatical inference. Key interests are
machine-learning methods applied to discrete combinatorial structures
such as strings, trees, or graphs, and algorithms for learning
symbolic models such as grammars, automata, Markov models, or pattern
languages. The conference seeks to provide a forum for presentation
and discussion of original research papers on all aspects of
grammatical inference including, but not limited to:
- Theoretical aspects of grammatical inference: learning paradigms,
learnability results, complexity of learning.
- Theoretical and experimental analysis of different grammatical
inference approaches, including artificial neural networks,
statistical methods, symbolic methods, information-theoretic
approaches, minimum description length, complexity-theoretic
approaches, heuristic methods, etc.
- Algorithms and frameworks for learning models representing language
classes inside and outside the Chomsky hierarchy, including tree and
graph grammars.
- Learning models with additional, sometimes numeric, inputs/outputs
such as transducers, register automata, timed automata, and
semi-hidden Markov models.
- Active learning of these and other languages.
- Methods for estimating probability distributions over strings,
trees, graphs, or any data used as input for symbolic models.
- Combinations of grammatical inference with related fields such as
semantic representations, formal methods, or multi-agent systems.
- Novel approaches to grammatical inference: induction by DNA
computing or quantum computing, evolutionary approaches, spectral
algorithms, using combinatorial solvers, new representation spaces,
etc.
- Successful applications of grammatical inference to tasks such as
natural language processing, unsupervised parsing, bioinformatics,
web interface design, robot navigation, machine translation, pattern
recognition, language acquisition, software engineering,
computational linguistics, spam and malware detection, cognitive
psychology, etc.
Submission for regular papers for ICGI 2016 is now closed.
We are now calling for work in progress and ideas that may be of
interest to the grammatical inference community.
You will get the opportunity to present and discuss your work in
progress or ideas in a designated session of ICGI. Abstracts of work
in progress will not appear in the proceedings (as they will not be
peer reviewed), but will appear in a conference booklet and on the
website.
All abstracts should be submitted by email to rick (AT) cs (DOT) ru
(DOT) nl by July 24, 2016.
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission deadline: July 24, 2016
Notification of acceptance: July 31, 2016
Conference: October 5-7, 2016
We invite abstracts on work in progress, which can be either
theoretical or experimental, fundamental or application-oriented,
solving or proposing important problems.
Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract which represents
original and previously unpublished work. Simultaneous submission to
other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed.
Each abstract should contain title, authors and affiliation, mailing
address, and at least three keywords which can describe the contents
of the work.
Abstracts must be submitted in pdf format. The total length of the
paper should not exceed 2 pages on A4-size paper. The use of LaTeX is
strongly encouraged. Prospective authors are strongly recommended to
use the JMLR style file for LaTeX
(http://www.jmlr.org/format/format.html).
Abstracts will appear in a conference booklet and on the website, and
a presentation should be given in the special session.
All abstracts should be submitted by email to rick (AT) cs (DOT) ru
(DOT) nl by July 24, 2016.
We are looking forward to your submissions!
