CALL for PAPERS and PARTICIPATION

Fourth Workshop on

Learning with Logics and Logics for Learning

(LLLL, L4)

June 5 and/or 6

Collocated with the 20th Annual Conference of the Japanese Scociety for Artificial Intelligence (June 7-9, 2006)

The announcement of other collocated workshops is here.
The LLLL homepage is here.

The workshop program is here.


The LLLL 06 workshop was held with success.   We would like to express our thankfulness to the invited speakers, Prof. Gyorgy Turan and Prof. Tamas Horvath,
all PC members, and all speakers and audiences.


Scope of the workshop :

    Logic is a fundamental and useful representation method in Artificial Intelligence. In the area of Machine Learning, various types of computational logic, such as logic programs, first-order logic, description logic, higher-order logic, have been used for representing knowledge obtained with various types of learning mechanisms including identification in the limit, PAC learning, on-line learning, EXACT learning, machine discovery, and learning based on Bayesian networks. On the other hand, machine learning procedures are used in giving semantics to logic and foundations of some procedures in mathematics.
    This workshop is proposed to bring together researchers who are interested in both of the areas of machine learning and computational logic, and to have intensive discussions on various relations between the two with making their interchange more active.

Potential (but not exclusive) topics include :

 Learning and knowledge discovery using logics
                Algorithmic aspects of learning based on logics
                Logics for machine learning and knowledge discovery
                Logics using machine learning
                Machine learning as a foundation of mathematics/mathematical procedures
                Amalgamation of logic-based learning and statistical/information theoretical learning
                Learning and knowledge discovery from relational data
                Learning and knowledge discovery from structured/semi-structured data
                Learning and knowledge discovery from real-valued data

Deadline of (first) paper submission: Extended !!! March 25, 2006

Notification of Acceptance: April 10, 2006
Deadline of camera ready submission: April 21, 2006
Workshop date: June 5 (Monday) and/or 6 (Tuesday), 2006
