*Content*

The 3rd edition of the Data meets Applied Ontologies Workshop series will
take place as a bridge event between the 30th International Conference on
Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN 2021) and the 34th International Workshop
on Description Logics (DL 2021), two venues with a long tradition of research
contributions related to sub-symbolic and symbolic reasoning respectively.

To this end, the 3rd edition of the Data meets Applied Ontologies Workshop
will focus on the integration of sub-symbolic and symbolic systems,
particularly, on the role played by any forms of explicit and formal
knowledge, such as ontologies, knowledge graphs, knowledge bases, etc., in
Explainable Artificial Intelligence.

We welcome the submission of original contributions, investigating novel
methodologies to build transparent and scrutable AI systems and algorithms for
the design of Trustworthy and Explainable decision support systems.

We welcome the submission of original contributions, in the form of theoretical
contributions, discussion papers, experimental contributions, system and
demo descriptions of applications that make use of explicit and formal
knowledge to enhance the explainability and trustworthiness of
decision systems,
including - but not limited to - the following topics of interest:



*Neural-symbolic Learning and Reasoning*

   -

   Cognitive computational systems integrating machine learning and
   automated reasoning


   -

   Knowledge representation and reasoning in machine learning and deep
   learning
   -

   Knowledge extraction and distillation from neural and statistical
   learning models
   -

   Representation and refinement of symbolic knowledge by artificial neural
   networks

*Human-centered Explanations, Usability*

   -

   Explanation formats exploiting domain knowledge


   -

   Visual exploratory tools of semantic explanations
   -

   Knowledge representation for human-centric explanations
   -

   -

   Evaluation of transparency and interpretability of AI Systems

*Applications of Ontologies for Explainability and Trustworthiness in
Specific Domains*

   -

   Life sciences, health
   -

   Biomedicine
   -

   Humanities and social sciences
   -

   eGovernment

Submission Site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=daoxai2021

Accepted papers will be published in a proceedings volume in the IAOA
series of CEUR-WS (http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html). Please notice that due to
a change of policy at CEUR-WS.org Abstracts are no longer indexed by
dblp.org and cannot be included in the proceedings. They will be accepted
for oral presentation *only*.

Authors who require a visa to travel to Slovakia and for this reason would
like to receive notification earlier than 23 July may request fast-track
reviewing. To do so, authors should send an e-mail to daoxai
2021 at easychair.org, including the submission number of the paper and a
statement explaining the circumstances that require fast-track review.
