Special Track on Learning and Reasoning
Apologies for multiple postings
It is our great pleasure to announce an open call for a Machine Learning
Journal special issue on Learning and Reasoning. Accepted papers will be
part of the journal track of Learning and Reasoning and will be
presented at the 1st International Joint Conference on Learning and
Reasoning (http://lr2020.iit.demokritos.gr/), which will take place in
Athens (Greece) from 9 to 11 September, 2020.
The special topic of Learning and Reasoning is motivated by the
increased attention for this topic in the artificial intelligence and
machine learning communities. Integrating learning and reasoning
constitutes one of the key open questions in the field. Integrated
approaches to learning and reasoning potentially address 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.
Several subfields are actively pursuing research on Learning and
Reasoning, including:
*
Neuro-symbolic computation (NeSy), which is concerned with the
integration of neural networks with logical reasoning abilities;
*
Statistical relational AI (StarAI), which has focussed on combining
probabilistic graphical models with first order logic and
statistical learning;
*
Inductive Logic Programming (ILP), which studies machine learning
within a logic programming context.
*
Inductive Programming (IP), which studies the induction and
synthesis of programs from examples of their input / output behaviour.
We solicit submissions on all aspects of Learning and Reasoning, on all
topics where machine learning is combined with machine reasoning or
knowledge representation.
Authors are invited to submit novel, high-quality work that has neither
appeared in, nor is under consideration for publication by other
journals or conferences.
The editorial team will be aiming for a turn-around time of 10-12 weeks
for most submissions.
The journal track has two cut-off dates: Feb. 15 2020 and April 15 2020.
All papers will be reviewed following standard reviewing procedures for
Machine Learning.
Papers must be prepared in accordance to the Journal guidelines:
http://www.springer.com/10994.
A full range of general questions about submissions to Springer journals
can be found here:

Manuscripts must be submitted to: http://MACH.edmgr.com An article is
submitted to this special issue by choosing "S.I. LR 2020" as the
article type. The Learning & Reasoning special issue replaces the MLJ
special issue on Inductive Logic Programming (S.I.: ILP 2020). Papers
planned to be submitted to S.I. ILP 2020, should therefore be submitted
to the S.I. LR 2020.
Articles should preferably be no longer than 20 pages. Submissions
exceeding this length will not be given priority during reviews and will
be under review for a longer period but will still be considered for the
special track.
