Atelier SOSEM — Présentation
————–

Cet atelier s’intéresse à la question de la science ouverte sous l’angle de l’exploitation des outils du web sémantique. En particulier, l’apport des technologies sémantiques à un meilleur respect des critères FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

Des efforts spécifiques sont nécessaires pour rendre pleinement réutilisables et compréhensibles les divers types de données produites par les chercheurs, les gestionnaires de données et les fournisseurs de services. Les principes FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) ont été élaborés pour répondre à ces questions, en décrivant un ensemble d’exigences pour la réutilisation et l’interopérabilité des données. Ces principes font l’objet d’une attention croissante dans toute une série de domaines et d’applications.

Un aspect essentiel pour rendre les données FAIR est la capacité des machines à trouver, accéder, inter-opérer et réutiliser automatiquement les données sans intervention humaine ou avec une intervention humaine minimale. Pour cela, la capacité de décrire correctement et sémantiquement les données est essentielle.

Cette journée a pour but de faire le point sur ces questions dans le paysage français en favorisant l’échange entre les multiples communautés qui s’intéressent à la gestion de la science ouverte et des principes FAIR.

Date : 2023-07-10 => 2023-07-13
Lieu : Rabat (Morocco)

Grammatical
Inference is the
research area at the intersection of Machine
Learning and Formal
Language Theory. Since
1993, the International Conference on Grammatical Inference (ICGI)
has been the meeting place for presenting, discovering, and
discussing the latest research results on the foundations
of learning languages,
from theoretical and algorithmic perspectives to their applications
(natural language or document processing, bioinformatics, model
checking and software verification, program synthesis, robotic
planning and control, intrusion detection…).

This
16th edition of ICGI will be held in-person in Rabat,
the modern capital with deep-rooted history of Morocco located on the
Atlantic Coast. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the ICGI
conference, the program will include a distinguished lecture by Dana
Angluin.
The program will also include two
invited talks,
a half-day
tutorial at
the beginning of the conference on formal
languages and neural models for learning on sequences
by
Will
Merrill,
as well as oral presentations of accepted papers.

Important
dates

• Deadline
  for submissions is:
  March 1, 2023 (anywhere on Earth)

• Notification
  of acceptance:
  May 15, 2023

• Camera-ready
  copy: June 15,
  2023

• Conference: July

FOIS 2023 Call for papers

Definition and scope

The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in formal ontology. Formal ontology is the systematic study of the types of entities and relations making up the domains of interest represented in modern information systems. The conference encourages submission of high quality, not previously published results on both theoretical issues and practical advancements. FOIS 2023 will have distinct tracks for foundational issues, ontology applications and methods, and domain ontologies.

FOIS aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication for researchers from many domains engaging with formal ontology. Common application areas include conceptual modeling, database design, knowledge engineering and management, software engineering, organizational modeling, artificial intelligence, robotics, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics and scientific research in general, geographic information science, information retrieval, library and information science, as well as the Semantic Web.

FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA: http://iaoa.org/), which is a non-profit organization promoting interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in formal ontology.

Important dates

• Paper submission deadline: 31 January 2023
• Author rebuttal period: March 24-31, 2023 (tentative)
• Notifications: April 10, 2023 (tentative)
• Camera-ready papers: May 1, 2023
• Onsite conference: July 17-20, 2023
• Virtual conference: week of September 18, 2023

The submission deadline for workshops will be after the notifications to allow authors to submit a revised version of rejected papers to any of the conference workshops if the paper topics are appropriate for this workshop.

Location

FOIS 2023 will consist of a physical meeting and a virtual meeting:

• An in-person only meeting in Sherbrooke, Quebec from July 17 to 21, 2023 that will be very much like a traditional conference with keynotes, regular talks, workshops and tutorials and plenty of social and networking opportunities. This part will not have a remote participation option, but we plan on recording selected talks (e.g. keynotes).
• This will be followed by an online part to be held from September 18 to 20, 2023 that offers an opportunity for presentation and discussion of additional papers that were not presented at the physical meeting in Sherbrooke.

Submissions

FOIS 2023 seeks three types of full-length (14 pages) high-quality papers on a wide range of topics:

• Foundational papers address content-related ontological issues, their formal representation, and their relevance to some aspect of information systems.

• Application and Methods papers address novel systems, methods, and tools related to building, evaluating, or using ontologies, emphasizing the impact of ontology contents.

• Domain ontology papers describe a novel ontology for a specific realm of interest, clarifying ontological choices against requirements and foundational theory, and showing ontology use.

Please refer to the Submissions Instructions (coming soon) for more details. As usual, the FOIS proceedings will be published by IOS Press.

Topics of interest

Areas of particular interest to FOIS include the following:

Foundational Issues
• Kinds of entities: particulars/universals, continuants/occurrents, abstracta/concreta, dependent entities/independent entities, natural objects/artifacts, events/processes

Annonce en lien avec l’Action/le Réseau :

Thème :

Computational neuroscience

Présentation :

The recent years have seen the explosion of high-throughput neural recording methods: hundreds of individual neurons can now be monitored simultaneously using large-scale functional imaging or multisite electrode arrays. A comparable trend is observed in behavioral studies where new imaging technology produces high-resolution imaging of complex behaviors.
In order to extract meaningful information from these high-dimensional datasets, neurobiologists need to develop and use robust computational methods. This Summer school aims at addressing this need by offering theoretical as well as direct practical exposure to computational tools used in modern neuroscience to interpret high dimensional neurophysiological and behavioral signals associated to complex behaviors.

Thème :

The workshop focuses on transforming data into information and then into knowledge. It addresses various aspects of information extraction from textual data, intelligent and efficient interrogation, and maintenance of (large) knowledge bases.

Présentation :

The workshop focuses on transforming data into information and then into knowledge. The idea is to gather researchers to discuss two main problems :

– how to extract information from textual data and represent it in knowledge bases;
– how to propose intelligent methods for handling and maintaining these databases with new forms of requests, including efficient, flexible, and secure analysis mechanisms, adapted to the user, and with quality and privacy preservation guarantees.

Thème :

Machine Learning for Earth Observation Data

Présentation :

This workshop aims to be an international forum where machine learning researchers and domain experts can meet each other to exchange, debate, and draw short and long-term research objectives around the exploitation and analysis of EO and atmospheric data via Machine Learning techniques. Among the workshop’s goals, we want to give an overview of the current machine-learning research dealing with EO and other atmospheric measurement data. On the other hand, we want to stimulate concrete discussions to pave the way to new machine learning frameworks especially tailored to deal with such data.
