Call for 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:

The conference is organized by the Institute of Informatics & Telecommunica=
tions of the National Center for Scientific Research "Demokritos", in Athen=
s, Greece. =C2=A0

Scope
A crucial milestone for taking full advantage of the AI potential is the en=
dowment of algorithms that learn from experience with the ability to consul=
t existing knowledge and reason with what has already been learned. Integra=
ting learning and reasoning constitutes one of the key open questions in AI=
, and holds the potential of addressing many of the shortcomings of contemp=
orary 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 appr=
oaches that combine knowledge representation and machine reasoning techniqu=
es with learning algorithms from the fields of neural, statistical and rela=
tional learning.

IJCLR 2021 brings together four international conferences & workshops, addr=
essing all aspects of combining knowledge representation & machine reasonin=
g 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 Inte=
lligence (StarAI).
- The 10th International Workshop on Approaches and Applications of Inducti=
ve Programming (AAIP).

IJCLR 2021 aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working =
on various aspects of learning & reasoning, via presentation of cutting-edg=
e research on topics of special interest to the participating conferences/w=
orkshops. In addition to each of the four events' individual programs, whic=
h will be held in parallel, IJCLR aims to promote collaboration and cross-f=
ertilization between different approaches and methodologies to integrating =
learning & reasoning, via joint keynotes, panel discussions and poster sess=
ions.

Submissions are invited to each one of the conferences/workshops participat=
ing at IJCLR 2021 (ILP, NeSy, StarAI, AAIP). Paper formatting, proceedings =
etc. will adhere to each conference/workshop's tradition. =

In addition to the separate tracks for each event there is also a "General =
Track", where authors are invited to submit work that is relevant to IJCLR,=
 but it does not necessarily fall within the scope of one of ILP, NeSy, Sta=
rAI or AAIP. Also, IJCLR invites relevant, high-quality papers to be presen=
ted at the conference, which have been recently published, or accepted for =
publication, by a first-class conference such as AAAI, IJCAI, NeurIPS, ECML=
/PKDD, ICML, KDD, ICDM, etc., or journal such as MLJ, DMKD, JMLR etc. =


Submission deadlines:
Abstract submission (for ILP): June 25 2021.
Paper submission for ILP, NeSy, AAIP and the general track: June 30 2021.
Paper submission StarAI: September 1 2021.
Recently published papers due: September 10 2021.=C2=A0=C2=A0
