[CfP] HAIBRIDGE 2026 co-located with ISWC 2026

Dear all,



Join us for the 2nd Workshop on Bridging Hybrid (Artificial) Intelligence and the Semantic Web (HAIBRIDGE) happening at  <https://iswc2026.semanticweb.org/> ISWC - International Semantic Web Conference<https://iswc2026.semanticweb.org/> in ✨ Bari, Italy ✨this year!  The HAIBRIDGE workshop generally targets the intersection of the Semantic Web field (specifically the subset targeting neuro-symbolic AI) and hybrid intelligence. By the latter, we are specifically interested in the human factors element, human-in-the-loop (HIL) techniques, and how humans interact with knowledge-augmented agents, near-peers, or other AI systems that incorporate both neural systems and symbolic systems.
