7th International Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning
(NeSy'11) - http://www.neural-symbolic.org/NeSy11/ In conjunction with IJCAI-11, Barcelona, July 2011 Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers continue to face huge challenges in their quest to develop truly intelligent systems. The recent developments in the area of neural-symbolic integration offer an opportunity to combine symbolic AI and robust neural computation to help tackle some of these challenges. The Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning attracts researchers and practitioners from different areas like Neural Computation, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Complex Networks, Cognitive Science, Computer Vision, Fraud Prevention, Semantic Web, Verification and Validation. It is intended to create an atmosphere of exchange of ideas, providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of the key multidisciplinary topics related to neural-symbolic integration. Topics of interest include: 1. Representation and computation of symbolic knowledge by neural networks; 2. Machine learning for neural-symbolic networks; 3. Knowledge extraction from complex networks; 4. Logical reasoning in neural-symbolic networks; 5. New neuro-symbolic cognitive models; 6. Uncertainty in neural-symbolic networks; 7. Biologically-inspired neuro-symbolic integration; 8. Applications in robotics, simulation, fraud prevention, semantic web, fault diagnosis, bioinformatics, etc. Submission You are invited to submit papers through easychair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nesy11. Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere, must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in the case of research and experience papers or 3 pages in the case of position papers (including figures, bibliography and appendices). All submitted papers will be refereed based on their quality, relevance, originality, significance and soundness. Presentation Accepted papers must be presented during the workshop. The workshop will also include extra time for discussion, allowing the audience to get a better understanding of the issues, challenges and ideas being presented. Publication Accepted papers will be published by CEUR and will be included in the official workshop proceedings, which will be distributed during the workshop. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a revised and extended version of their papers to the Journal of Logic and Computation, reasoning and learning corner, OUP. Important Dates Deadline for submission: April 2011 Notification of acceptance: May 2011 Camera-ready paper due: May 2011 Workshop day: 16 or 17 July 2011 IJCAI-11 dates: 16 to 22 July 2011 Workshop Organisers Artur d.Avila Garcez (City University London, UK) Pascal Hitzler (Wright State University, USA) Luis C.
