CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd International Workshop on Data meets Applied Ontologies in Explainable Artificial Intelligence DAO-XAI @ BAKS 2021 18 September 2021 https://daoxai.inf.unibz.it/ DEADLINES: - July 05-10, 2021: Abstract registration - July 16, 2021: Paper submission deadline * The Workshop is held as Part of the Bratislava Knowledge September, BAKS 2021, 14-24 September 2021, Bratislava, Slovakia * https://dai.fmph.uniba.sk/events/baks2021/ * Special issue on "The Role of Ontologies and Knowledge in Explainable AI" to be published in the Semantic Web journal * http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/call-papers-special-issue-role-ontologies-and-knowledge-explainable-ai https://sites.google.com/view/special-issue-on-xai-swj *Content* The 3rd edition of the Data meets Applied Ontologies Workshop series will take place as a bridge event between the 30th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN 2021) and the 34th International Workshop on Description Logics (DL 2021), two venues with a long tradition of research contributions related to sub-symbolic and symbolic reasoning respectively. To this end, the 3rd edition of the Data meets Applied Ontologies Workshop will focus on the integration of sub-symbolic and symbolic reasoning, particularly, on the role played by explicit and formal knowledge, such as ontologies, knowledge graphs, knowledge bases, etc., in Explainable Artificial Intelligence. We welcome the submission of original contributions, investigating novel methodologies that integrate sub-symbolic and symbolic reasoning to build transparent and scrutable AI systems, and algorithms for the design of Trustworthy and Explainable decision support systems. We welcome the submission of original contributions, in the form of theoretical contributions, discussion papers, experimental contributions, system and demo descriptions of applications that make use of explicit and formal knowledge to enhance the explainability and trustworthiness of decision systems, including - but not limited to - the following topics of interest: *Neural-symbolic Learning and Reasoning* - Cognitive computational systems integrating machine learning and automated reasoning - Knowledge representation and reasoning in machine learning and deep learning - Knowledge extraction and distillation from neural and statistical learning models - Representation and refinement of symbolic knowledge by artificial neural networks *Human-centered Explanations, Usability* - Explanation formats exploiting domain knowledge - Visual exploratory tools of semantic explanations - Knowledge representation for human-centric explanations - Usability and acceptance of knowledge-enhanced semantic explanations - Evaluation of transparency and interpretability of AI Systems *Applications of Ontologies for Explainability and Trustworthiness in Specific Domains* - Life sciences, health - Biomedicine - Humanities and social sciences - eGovernment *Submission Guidelines* We accept submissions (in CEUR WS format) of the following types: - Regular paper (max 12p + references) - Short/Position paper (max 6p + references) - Abstract (max 2p + references) - not included in the proceedings All submitted papers will be evaluated based on originality, significance, relevance and technical quality. Papers should be submitted non-anonymously in PDF format following the CEUR-WS single column formatting guidelines found at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/ The direct template download for Latex and MS Word is available here: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip There is also an Overleaf Template available here: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-workshop-proceedings-ceur-ws-dot-org/hpvjjzhjxzjk Submission Site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=daoxai2021 Accepted papers will be published in a proceedings volume in the IAOA series of CEUR-WS (http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html). Please notice that due to a change of policy at CEUR-WS.org, abstracts are no longer indexed by dblp.org and cannot be included in the proceedings. They will be accepted for *oral presentation only*. Authors who require a visa to travel to Slovakia and for this reason think that they need to receive notification earlier than 23 July may send an e-mail to roberto.confalonieri@unibz.it, including the submission number of the paper and a statement explaining the circumstances that require an earlier notification. *Special Issue* Extended versions of a selection of the papers presented at the workshop will be invited to be submitted to a Special Issue on 'The Role of Ontologies and Knowledge in Explainable AI' https://sites.google.com/view/special-issue-on-xai-swj to be published in the Semantic Web Journal (http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/). *Important Dates (Extended)* - July 05-10, 2021: Abstract registration - July 16, 2021: Paper submission deadline - July 31, 2021: Fast-track notification - August 13, 2021: Notification to authors - September 3, 2021: Camera-ready copies - September 18-19, 2021: DAO-XAI workshop *Invited Speakers* We will have as keynote speaker Luciano Serafini, a world-wide expert in logics for knowledge representation and reasoning, ontologies, and their integration with sub-symbolic reasoning and learning. *Organization* - Roberto Confalonieri - Free University of Bozen-Bolzano - Oliver Kutz - Free University of Bozen-Bolzano - Diego Calvanese - Free University of Bozen-Bolzano - Alessandro Mosca - Free University of Bozen-Bolzano *Contacts* roberto.confalonieri@unibz.it
