*Call for extended abstracts and recently published papers.*

The 1st International Joint Conference on Learning & Reasoning (IJCLR 2021), will take place from October 25 to 27 2021 as a fully virtual event:

http://lr2020.iit.demokritos.gr/ <http://lr2020.iit.demokritos.gr/>

*Scope*
A crucial milestone for taking full advantage of the AI potential is the endowment of algorithms that learn from experience with the ability to consult existing knowledge and reason with what has already been learned. Integrating learning and reasoning constitutes one of the key open questions in AI, and holds the potential of addressing many of the shortcomings of contemporary AI approaches, including the black-box nature and the brittleness of deep learning, and the difficulty to adapt knowledge representation models in the light of new data. Integrating learning and reasoning calls for approaches that combine knowledge representation and machine reasoning techniques with learning algorithms from the fields of neural, statistical and relational learning.

IJCLR 2021 brings together four international conferences & workshops, addressing all aspects of combining knowledge representation & machine reasoning with statistical, neural and symbolic learning:

- The 30th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP).
- The 15th International Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning & Reasoning (NeSy). - The 10th International Workshop on Statistical Relational Artificial Intelligence (StarAI). - The 10th International Workshop on Approaches and Applications of Inductive Programming (AAIP).

IJCLR 2021 aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of learning & reasoning, via presentation of cutting-edge research on topics of special interest to the participating conferences/workshops. In addition to each of the four events' individual programs, which will be held in parallel, IJCLR aims to promote collaboration and cross-fertilization between different approaches and methodologies to integrating learning & reasoning, via joint keynotes, panel discussions and poster sessions.

*Call for extended abstracts and recently published papers*
During a second round of paper submissions we invite authors that wish to present their work at the conference to submit late-breaking abstracts and recently published papers within the scope of IJCLR.

*Late-breaking abstracts* are invited to either ILP or AAIP. To submit an abstract follow the submission link at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ijclr2021 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ijclr2021> and select one of the ILP/AAIP options. Submissions should briefly outline novel ideas and proposals that the authors would like to present at the conference. These could include e.g. original work in progress without conclusive experimental findings, or other relevant work, not yet ready for publication. Submissions of late-breaking abstracts will be accepted/rejected on the grounds of relevance to the scope of ILP/AAIP. Accepted late-breaking abstracts will be published on the conference website. Submissions must not exceed 4 pages, including references.

*Recently published papers* within the scope of IJCLR, or papers recently accepted for publication by a first-class conference such as AAAI, IJCAI, UAI, ECML/PKDD, ICML, KDD, ICDM, ICLR etc. or journal such as MLJ, DMKD, JMLR etc. These will be accepted/rejected on the grounds of relevance and quality of the original publication venue. For papers of this category a link to the original work will be published on the conference website. Authors should submit the abstract and the PDF file of the original submission, specifying in the abstract the original venue where the paper was accepted, in addition to the acceptance date. Authors submitting a recently published paper should submit it through IJCLR's "Recently Published Papers Track" option from the submission page https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ijclr2021 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ijclr2021>

*Submission deadline:* September 10 2021
*Author notification:* September 15 2021
