Lieu : Co-localisé avec la conférence IJCAI 2024, île de Jeju, Corée du Sud

Call For Papers

The 3^rd International Workshop on Spatio-Temporal Reasoning and Learning (STRL 2024) will take place in Jeju, South Korea, collocated with IJCAI 2024.

Website: https://www.lirmm.fr/strl2024/

Introduction

Opposing the false dilemma of logical reasoning vs machine learning, we argue for a synergy between these two paradigms in order to obtain hybrid AI systems that will be robust, generalizable, and transferable.

Indeed, it is well-known that machine learning only includes statistical information and, therefore, is not inherently able to capture perturbations (interventions or changes in the environment), or perform reasoning and planning. Ideally, (the training of) machine learning models should be tied to assumptions that align with physics and human cognition to allow for these models to be re-used and re-purposed in novel scenarios.

On the other hand, it is also the case that logic in itself can be brittle too, and logic further assumes that the symbols with which it can reason are already given.

It is becoming ever more evident in the literature that modular AI architectures should be prioritized, where the involved knowledge about the world and the reality that we are operating in is decomposed into independent and recomposable pieces, as such an approach should only increase the chances that these systems behave in a causally sound manner.

You may find details about previous editions of this workshop via the links below:

• STRL 2023
• STRL 2022

The aim of this workshop is to formalize such a synergy between logical reasoning and machine learning that will be grounded on spatial and temporal knowledge.

We argue that the calculi associated with the spatial and temporal reasoning community, be it qualitative or quantitative, naturally build upon physics and human cognition, and could therefore form a module that would be beneficial towards causal representation learning. A (symbolic) spatio-temporal knowledge base could provide a dependable causal seed upon which machine learning models could generalize, and exploring this direction from various perspectives is the main theme here.

Topics

In this workshop, we invite the research community in artificial intelligence to submit works related to the proposed integration of spatial and temporal reasoning with machine learning, revolving around the following topic areas:

• Real-world problems / applications involving spatio-temporal data
• Spatial, temporal, and spatio-temporal knowledge graphs
• Spatio-temporal data mining / analysis
• Space and time in narratives
• Declarative spatial reasoning
• Spatial and temporal language understanding with and without additional modalities (e.g., vision)
• Neuro-symbolic approaches for spatio-temporal reasoning and learning
• Probabilistic world models for spatio-temporal reasoning and learning
• Probabilistic inference for spatio-temporal reasoning and learning
• Datasets for spatio-temporal reasoning and learning
• Metrics for assessing spatio-temporal reasoning and learning methods
• Limitations in machine learning for spatio-temporal reasoning and learning; how far can machine learning go?
• Relation between causal reasoning and spatial and temporal reasoning
• Research and teaching challenges in spatio-temporal reasoning and learning

The list above is by no means exhaustive, as the aim is to foster the debate around all aspects of the suggested integration.

Application domains being addressed include, but are not limited to:

• Autonomous Vehicles and Drones
• Cognitive Robotics
• Spatial Computing for Design
• Computational Art
• (Cognitive) Vision
• Geographic Information Systems
• Smart Environments
• Healthcare

Submission

The submission link is available at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=strl2024

Papers should be formatted according to the CEUR-ART style formatting guidelines here and submitted as a single PDF file.

We welcome submissions across the full spectrum of theoretical and practical work including research ideas, methods, tools, simulations, applications or demos, practical evaluations, and surveys.

Submissions that are 2 pages long (excluding references and appendices) will be considered for a short presentation, and submissions that are between 4 and 7 pages long (again, excluding references and appendices) will be considered for a regular presentation.

All papers will be peer-reviewed in a single-blind process and assessed based on their novelty, technical quality, potential impact, clarity, and reproducibility (when applicable).

Be mindful of the following dates:

• April 26, 2024: Workshop paper submission deadline
• May 31, 2024: Paper acceptance/rejection notification date
• June 7, 2024: Camera-ready submission deadline

Dear all,

We are happy to announce the AISSAI Heterogeneous Data and Large Language Representation Models in Science Workshop that will be held in Toulouse (France) from September 30 to October 3, 2024.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Catherine Biscarat, Sylvain Caillou, Jan Stark, on behalf of the organizers

 

AISSAI Heterogeneous Data and Large Representation Models in Science Workshop

Toulouse (France), September 30 – October 3 2024

 FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

 
 
 
The third workshop of the AISSAI trimester on “Artificial Intelligence for the two infinites” will be held in Toulouse (France) from September 30th to October 3rd, 2024. This workshop will be devoted to Heterogeneous Data and Large Representation Models in Science. 

This event is sponsored by the CNRS AISSAI center and hosted by the Laboratoire des 2 Infinis – Toulouse (L2IT).

Please find complete information on the scientific program, call for abstracts and registration on the workshop’s Indico website. Registration is free (but mandatory) and includes lunches and social events.

Scientific program

In recent years, we have witnessed remarkable transformations in the AI/ML landscape. Particularly in computer vision and natural language processing, there is a notable emergence of Large Representation Models (LRMs) trained on extensive datasets, often referred to as foundation models. These LRMs possess the capability to encode information at a high level of abstraction, enabling the training of models on multimodal data such as text, image, sound, video, and more. This improvement in how models represent objects augments significantly their ability to understand and make sense of the world.

In the realm of science, we expect a similar revolution, triggered by the integration of heterogeneous multimodal scientific data from various sensor systems or sources into LRMs. Scientific data are often heterogeneous and multimodal in nature, originating from various sensors in embedded systems (robotics, aerospace), from different detector subsystems or different instruments in fundamental physics, or from different signal sources in a scientific experiment in general. The models can combine representations from neural networks with symbolic representations integrating a priori knowledge of the scientific domain.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists from different fields (just to list a few: computer sciences, cosmology, human sciences, mathematics, physics, robotics, statistics, etc.) and with different profiles (experimentalists, theorists, developers) to discuss these topics at the forefront of AI/ML research, fostering collaboration and innovation in this rapidly evolving field. 

The program is planed to be a mix of high-profile guest speaker presentations and contributed talks.

This workshop will delve into a range of topics, which include but are not limited to:

• Constructing machine learning models capable of learning from diverse data types.
• Managing multimodal data from varied sources, or heterogeneous data from scientific instruments that combine multiple detector technologies, for ML applications.
• Investigating contrastive embeddings tailored for heterogeneous and multi-modal scientific data alongside shared embedding representations.
• Exploring the integration of neuro-symbolic AI and multi-level representations.
• Mathematical modeling of combined representation.
• Exploring explainability and interpretability of Large Representation Models in the scientific context.
• Embracing frugality and size management in Large Representation Models.
• Possibly on a longer timescale, exploring numerical encodings for large language representations in scientific contexts.

Chers collègues,
Nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter à soumettre vos propositions pour notre colloque intitulé “CAIH : Une Conversation entre l’IA et les Humanités”, qui se tiendra les 14 et 15 novembre 2024 à Lyon.

Les progrès dans le traitement d’images, de texte et de la parole figurent parmi les plus remarquables des avancées récentes de l’Intelligence Artificielle. Ces données sont également au cœur des Sciences Humaines et Sociales qui ont su, à travers les Humanités Numériques, développer un large éventail d’approches numériques pour les appréhender. Il apparaît donc que ces deux champs disciplinaires, Intelligence Artificielle et Humanités Numériques sont appelés à se rencontrer. De fait, des points de contact variés existent déjà. Toutefois, il semble que l’ensemble des opportunités potentielles de cette rencontre n’ait pas encore été exploré et que des efforts dans cette direction promettent d’être fructueux.

C’est dans cette optique que nous proposons de rassembler ces deux communautés. L’objectif est double : permettre un transfert des connaissances et des savoir-faire de la communauté IA vers la communauté SHS afin que celle-ci puisse les intégrer à son arsenal méthodologique ; expliciter les spécificités des SHS qui pourraient pointer vers de nouvelles directions de la recherche en IA.

Pour atteindre ces objectifs, nous organisons deux journées de réflexion invitant chercheurs de divers horizons à se rencontrer, échanger et collaborer. Ces journées seront l’occasion de partager des expériences, de présenter des travaux innovants et d’identifier des pistes de recherche commune. Nous encourageons la participation de chercheurs en IA, spécialistes des Humanités Numériques, ainsi que de tous ceux intéressés par les interactions entre ces domaines. Nous espérons que ces journées permettront de poser les bases de collaborations durables et fructueuses, favorisant ainsi l’émergence de nouvelles approches pluridisciplinaires.

Dates importantes

Date de soumission : 6 septembre 2024
Date de réponse : 20 septembre 2024

Soumissions

Nous invitons les auteurs à proposer des travaux qui traitent de l’application de solutions d’IA aux problématiques des SHS. Les soumissions doivent prendre la forme d’un article de position concis (2 pages avec un nombre illimité de pages pour les références et les annexes). Nous encourageons également la soumission de travaux déjà acceptés dans des conférences ou publiés dans des revues. Veuillez noter qu’il n’y aura pas d’actes.

Nous suggérons de structurer votre article comme suit :

Introduction : Articuler clairement le problème et son importance.
Objectifs et questions de recherche : Définir les objectifs et les questions clés de votre travail.

Toutes les propositions devront être soumises sur le portail Sciencesconf : https://caih.sciencesconf.org/

English version:

We are pleased to invite you to submit your proposals for our event titled ‘CAIH: A Conversation between AI and the Humanities’ which will take place on November 14-15 2024 in Lyon.

The progress in image, text, and speech processing is among the most remarkable advancements in recent Artificial Intelligence developments. These data are also at the heart of the Humanities and Social Sciences, which, through Digital Humanities, have developed a wide range of digital approaches to understand them. It thus appears that these two fields, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Humanities, are destined to converge. Indeed, various points of contact already exist. However, it seems that the full potential opportunities of this convergence have not yet been explored, and efforts in this direction promise to be fruitful.

In this context, we propose to bring these two communities together. The objective is twofold: to enable a transfer of knowledge and expertise from the AI community to the SHS community so that the latter can integrate them into its methodological arsenal; and to clarify the specificities of the SHS that could point to new directions in AI research.

To achieve these objectives, we are organizing two days of reflection, inviting researchers from diverse backgrounds to meet, exchange, and collaborate. These days will be an opportunity to share experiences, present innovative works, and identify avenues for joint research. We encourage the participation of AI researchers, Digital Humanities specialists, and all those interested in the interactions between these fields. We hope that these days will lay the foundations for sustainable and fruitful collaborations, thus fostering the emergence of new multidisciplinary approaches.

Important dates

Submission deadline: September 6, 2024
Notification date: September 20, 2024
Event date: November 14-15, 2024
Event location

ENS Lyon

Submissions

We welcome submissions that address the application of AI solutions to SSH issues. Submissions should be in the form of a concise position paper (2 pages with unlimited pages for references and appendix). We also encourage the submission of works that have already been accepted at conferences or published in journals. Note that there will be no proceeding.

We suggest structuring your paper as follows:

Introduction: Clearly articulate the problem and its significance.
Objectives and Research Questions: Define the aims and key inquiries of your work.
Proposed Methodology: Provide an overview of the planned approach and methods for addressing the problem.
Literature Review: Summarize existing research pertinent to the problem at hand.
Anticipated Outcomes and Preliminary Results: Describe the expected outcomes, such as insights gained, enhanced conceptual understanding, preliminary studies, models, or systems.
Submissions should adhere to the ACL template (available at: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files). The submission process is single-blind; therefore, ensure that the paper includes all authors’ names and affiliations.

Submission platform

All papers should be submitted via Sciencesconf: https://caih.sciencesconf.org/
