CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Workshop on “Explainable Logic-Based Knowledge Representation” (XLoKR 2020)
in conjunction with KR 2020
September 13 and 14, 2020

Organisers:
- Franz Baader
- Gerhard Brewka
- Jörg Hoffmann
- Thomas Lukasiewicz
- Torsten Schaub

To make the behavior of knowledge-based systems comprehensible, they need to be 
able to explain their decisions. In principle, decisions based on logical 
reasoning are easy to explain since one can use a formal proof in an 
appropriate calculus to explain a positive reasoning result, and a 
counter-model to explain a negative one. In practice, however, things are not 
so easy since proofs and counter-models may be very large, and thus it may be 
hard to comprehend why they demonstrate a certain result. In automated 
deduction, the problem of explaining why a consequence does or does not follow 
from a given set of axioms has been considered for a long time. In knowledge 
representation and reasoning, efforts in this direction are more recent, and 
were usually restricted to certain sub-areas of KR. The purpose of this 
workshop is to bring together researchers from different sub-areas of KR and 
automated deduction that are working on explainability in their respective 
fields, with the goal of exchanging experiences and approaches.

The workshop will consist of 15 contributed talks as well as an invited talk by 
Tim Miller (University of Melbourne) with the title “Explainable artificial 
intelligence: beware the inmates running the asylum (or How I learnt to stop 
worrying and love the social and behavioural sciences)”. The full program can 
be found at https://lat.inf.tu-dresden.de/XLoKR20/XLoKR20Program.pdf .

Like KR, the workshops at KR are hybrid events, with mixed virtual and physical 
participation.

Virtual participation (for people that are not primary authors of accepted 
papers) is free. But please inform the KR (kr2020.lo...@gmail.com) and the 
XLoKR organisers (xlok...@easychair.org) by Email about your intention to 
participate virtually in XLoKR.

For physical participation, you need to register for KR and its workshops at 
https://kr2020.inf.unibz.it/page/registration . Please note that early 
registration with reduced fees is possible until August 7.
