*Call for Papers*
1st International Joint Conference on Learning & Reasoning (IJCLR 2020),
Sept. 9-11 2020,
Athens, Greece.

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

Integrating learning from experience with reasoning with what has been learnt is one the key open questions in AI. It 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.

IJCLR 2020 brings together, for the first time, 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 Inteligence (StarAI). - The 10th International Workshop on Approaches and Applications of Inductive Programming (AAIP).

The purpose of IJCLR 2020 is the presentation of cutting-edge research on these fields, but also, to promote collaboration and cross-fertilization between different approaches and methodologies to integrating learning & reasoning, via joint discussions, keynotes and poster sessions.

IJCLR 2020 invites paper submissions on all aspects of Learning and Reasoning, on topics where machine learning is combined with machine reasoning or knowledge representation.

There are two options for paper submissions, a Conference Track, regarding submissions to one of the conferences/workshops participating at IJCLR 2020, and a Journal Track, supported by the Machine Learning Journal (MLJ). Papers accepted at the Journal Track will be published by the MLJ and presented at IJCLR 2020.

*Paper submission dates:*
Journal Track 2nd cut-off date: April 20, 2020
Conference Track: May 29 2020

*Submission guidelines:*
