From cognition.and.ontologies at gmail.com Tue Feb 20 16:52:52 2024 From: cognition.and.ontologies at gmail.com (CAOS - Cognition and Ontologies Workshop) Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2024 16:52:52 +0100 Subject: [iaoa-general] [CfP] 1st CfP - Cognition And OntologieS@JOWO 2024, July 15-19, Enschede, Netherlands Message-ID: [Apologies for potential crossposting] We are excited to announce the call for papers for the eighth edition of CAOS - Cognition And OntologieS. CAOS 8 will be co-located with the Joint Ontology Workshops - JOWO 2024 at Enschede, Netherlands (July 15-19). Website: https://caos.inf.unibz.it/ Deadline: April 17th, 2024 About the Workshop: The purpose of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the cognitive sciences, and research on formal ontologies and, thus, to create a venue for researchers interested in interdisciplinary aspects of knowledge representation. More specifically, CAOS investigates key cognitive phenomena and concepts (and the involved terminology) that can be found across language, psychology, and reasoning, and how they can be formally and ontologically understood and analysed. We aim to explore the connection between cognitive sciences/experimental psychology and ontologies, as well as, more generally, symbolic AI, and to provide formal and logical modelling for capturing such connections. CAOS, thus, seeks answers to ways such formalisations and ontological analysis can be exploited in Artificial Intelligence and information systems. We welcome submissions on topics related to the ontology of hypothesised building blocks of cognition (such as image schemas, affordances, categories, concepts, and related notions) and of cognitive capacities (such as concept invention and combination, language acquisition and categorisation), as well as system-demonstrations modelling these capacities in application settings. We also welcome submissions addressing the cognitive and epistemological adequacy of ontological modelling. Important Dates: - Submission deadline: April 17th , 2024 - Notification of acceptance: May 15th, 2024 Camera-ready (post-conference proceedings) deadline: July 30th, 2024 - Workshop: July 15-19th List of Topics: CAOS invites paper contributions related (but not restricted) to the following areas: - Ontologies of cognitive phenomena - Logic and Cognition (challenges, possible solutions and validation scenarios) - Formal representation of cognitive structures / functions / processes (e.g. Conceptual Spaces, etc) - Knowledge Representation and Common-Sense - Formalisation of language, image schemas and/or affordance - Embodied language acquisition - Concept invention and concept combination - Cognitive development from an ontological perspective - Metaphors and analogies (formal representation, ontological analysis) - Artificial language understanding - Natural language applications / system-demonstrations / LLMs and cognition - Knowledge acquisition and categorisation in AI and Robotics - Tool use and affordances - Concept-based computational creativity Type of Contributions: We welcome diverse contributions including research papers, case studies, and theoretical explorations that align with the workshop's themes. We accept three types of papers: - Abstract for presentation only: 2-3 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation (not included in the proceedings as papers) - Short papers: 6-8 pages, 10-15 minutes presentation - Full research papers: max. 10-14 pages, 20-25 minutes presentation (Page number includes references, presentations include Q&A.) Submissions must be sent via Easychair as a single PDF file and should be formatted in CEUR 1-column format. Template:https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html; https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-workshop-proceedings-ceur-ws-dot-org/wqyfdgftmcfw . Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fois2024. Please select the track JOWO Workshop - Cognition and OntologieS (CAOS8).

The workshop focusing on the integration of data semantics, ontologies, moral values, and their societal impact About the Workshop: The growing influence of AI in our daily lives has transformed both the digital landscape and the way we generate, extract and represent information. The surge in using Large Language Models (LLMs) not only in academia and industry but among the public, has made it increasingly important to address the alignment of AI tools to moral and cultural human values. Despite ongoing governmental work on developing ethical guidelines and practical requirements for AI, for academic and industrial applications there is a particular importance to ensure that the research respective practical methods follow ethical practices and that the outcomes do not conflict with moral values. As hybridizing knowledge structures and semantic data with generative AI has a high impact potential for the development of increasingly more complex and intelligent systems, it becomes of the utmost important that such innovation adheres to the EU?s objective of realizing AI applications that are dependable, robust, explicable, ethically guided, and therefore trustworthy. The first edition of?WISDOMS, the Workshop on Integrating the Semantics of Data, Ontologies, Moral and cultural values and their Societal impact, aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and those curious enough to explore the convergence of ethics, socio-behavioral norms, moral and cultural values, with hybrid neuro-symbolic knowledge structures and generative AI. Join us in discussing the socio-ethical boundaries of AI innovation! Important Dates: ? Submission Deadline:?March 7, 2024 ? Author Notification:?April 4, 2024 ? Final Version Due:?April 18, 2024 ? Workshop Dates:?May 26/27, 2024 List of Topics: WISDOMS invite paper contributions related (but not restricted to) the following areas: ? Ethical dilemmas in value knowledge representation ? Development of value-centric vocabularies and ontologies ? Moral reasoning in AI ? Societal impact of (non-)ethical AI ? Value-driven system design and explainability ? Value-sensitive autonomous agents ? Neuro-symbolic and hybrid semantic web tools for moral reasoning Type of Contributions: We welcome diverse contributions including research papers, case studies, and theoretical explorations that align with the workshop's themes. We accept four types of contributes: ? Full Papers?(10-12 pages excluding references) ? Short Papers?(5-8 pages excluding references) ? Position Papers?(1-4 pages excluding references, not included in the proceedings) ? Extended Abstract?of recently published papers (1-4 pages excluding references, not included in the proceedings) Submissions must be sent via?Easychair?and should be formatted in CEUR 1-column format (template available on workshop website). For inclusion in the workshop, at least one of the authors of accepted papers needs to register at ESWC 2024 and participate on-site at WISDOMS. Location: WISDOMS is co-located with?ESWC 2024?held on the beautiful island city Hersonissos, Crete, Greece. This year, ESWC has the timely theme on Fabrics of Knowledge: Knowledge Graphs and Generative AI. Join us at WISDOMS to add a flair of ethics to the main conference! We look forward to your valuable contributions to a fruitful and thought-provoking discussion on these critical issues.
