The 11th ESAO webinar will be held on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 at 16:30 CEST, together with FOIS 2024 online. --------------------------- When and how to connect Tuesday July 9th, 2024 16:30 CEST Duration: 90 minutes Video conference (via Zoom) : => Requires *free* registration to FOIS online [2] --------------------------- Program Title: Applied Ontologies in the the Neuro-Symbolic Age Regional times: 10:30-12:00 EDT / 11:30-13:00 UTC-3 / 14:30-16:00 UTC / 16:30-18:00 CEST / 16:30-18:00 SAST Panelists: - John Beverley (University of Buffalo) - Pawel Garbacz (The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin) - Pascal Hitzler (Kansas State University) - Fabian Neuhaus (Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg) - Luciano Serafini (Fondazione Bruno Kessler) Moderator: - Mehwish Alam (T?l?com Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, France) Abstract: In the evolving landscape of AI, the panel on "Applied Ontologies in the Age of Neuro-Symbolic AI" will discuss the integration of symbolic AI (based on knowledge representation and formal logic) and statistical (based on artificial neural networks). The aim is to cover a broader overview on the topic, definitions, impact on research in both statistical and symbolic AI (and in other fields), and future perspectives.

The 8th Image Schema Day ISD8 at AI*IA 2024 Bozen-Bolzano, Italy November 25-28th, 2024 https://isd8.imageschema.net/ The ISD workshop series has had 7 amazing previous editions and as chairs of The Image Schema Network are very happy to announce that the 8th edition has been accepted to the workshop program of the 23rd conference of the Italian Association of Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA). As in previous years, ISD8 is a networking event that invites researchers on image schemas, conceptual primitives and spatiotemporal reasoning from various scientific disciplines to present their research and discuss ideas for future projects. Unlike many other workshops focused on different topics in one discipline or using one methodology, the Image Schema Day invites researchers from all disciplines and methods but focuses on one main topic. The workshop offers a friendly environment for researchers of all stages who are interested in presenting and discussing work on the formal, empirical, hypothetical, artistic and/or analytical treatment of conceptual patterns, embodied cognition, semantic components and the interdisciplinary exploration of human thought! -- Paper Formats -- This year, the workshop accepts four kinds of submissions: * Abstracts for presentation only (2 pages) (NOTE: these are not included in the proceedings.) * Extended abstracts/short papers (5-9 pages) Typically consisting of work in progress, early results or position papers that is not published (or under review) at another venue. * Summaries of recently published articles (2-5 pages) (NOTE: only summaries of 5 pages would be included in the proceedings.) * Full research papers (10-12 pages) Presenting novel research not published (or under review) at another venue. -- Topics of interest -- Focus areas containing (the broadest of interpretation of) an image-schematic perspective include: * analysis of conceptual metaphors * formalisation of affordances and force dynamics * spatiotemporal reasoning * commonsense reasoning * conceptual modelling * use cases of embodied cognition * formal approaches to analogical reasoning * formal concept analysis * applications in cognitive robotics * image-schematic interface design * art and literature analysis * core components of affordance All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted contributions will be included in the ISD8 proceedings and presented at the workshop! Previous proceedings and submission instructions can be found on the event website. -- Important dates --- * Submission deadline: September 1st * Notification of acceptance: October 1st * Workshop dates: November 25-28th Please share this invitation (and feel free to print our traditionally psychedelic ISD-poster) with colleagues who might be interested in the workshop and consider joining us in November! We are looking forward to seeing you at ISD8! / Maria and Oliver [ISD8 poster.jpeg] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
