📢 Call for Contributions
This joint workshop brings together researchers and practitioners working on the intersections of language models, knowledge representation, reasoning, ethics, and statistics. We encourage submissions that discuss novel techniques, approaches, and innovative ideas related to these topics.
Workshop Scope
This workshop merges three previously separate workshops:
NeLaMKRR:
Next-Generation Language Models for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
ReLLM:
Reasoning and Ethics in Large Language Models
SKILL:
Statistics and Knowledge Integration for Logic and Learning
Topics of Interest
Language models’ reasoning abilities
KR-style reasoning in LLMs
Ethical deployment and bias mitigation
Integration of symbolic and statistical methods
Neurosymbolic approaches
Domain-specific applications (medicine, law, science)
Chain of thought and prompting studies
Evaluation of reasoning accuracy
Submission Details
Submissions can be:
Long papers: up to 12 pages, excluding references and appendices
Short/position papers: up to 6 pages, excluding references and appendices
Extended abstracts: up to 2 pages, excluding references and appendices. They can be used to present works already published or accepted for publication in other venues.
Papers must be submitted to one of the following tracks:
NeLaMKRR
, dedicated to representation and reasoning with large language models
ReLLM
, dedicated to ethical aspects of large language models
SKILL
, dedicated to the integration of statistical learning and symbolic reasoning in neuro-symbolic systems
The review process is double-blind. Authors are responsible for anonymising their submission. In particular, author names or affiliations must be removed as well as any other identifying information. Acknowledgements of funding or assistance should also be omitted at the submission stage. All identifying information can be added to the final camera-ready version of accepted papers. The authors should also remove identifying information from the PDF metadata. Submissions that violate anonymity will be rejected without further review.
