Artificial Intelligence researchers continue to face huge challenges in their quest to develop truly intelligent systems. The recent developments in the field of neural-symbolic integration bring an opportunity to integrate well-founded symbolic artificial intelligence with robust neural computing machinery to help tackle some of these challenges.
The Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning is intended to create an atmosphere of exchange of ideas, providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of the key topics related to neural-symbolic integration.
Submission Guidelines
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original papers that have not been submitted for review or published elsewhere:
Authors of contributed papers are encouraged to use the LaTex article style, a 12pt font, and to submit a paper with no more than 12 pages plus references.
Please submit your article on EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nesy18.
List of Topics
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- The representation of symbolic knowledge by connectionist systems;
