The First International Workshop on Logics for New-Generation Artificial Intelligence (LNGAI 2021)

18-20 June 2021, Hangzhou, China

 

The First International Workshop on Logics for New-Generation Artificial Intelligence (LNGAI 2021) will be held in Hangzhou, China, 18-20 June 2021. It is associated with a national project called “Research on Logics for New Generation Artificial Intelligence” (2021-2025), supported by the National Social Science Foundation of China. The main objectives of this project are to develop theories and techniques of non-monotonic logics and formal argumentation and apply them to causal reasoning, knowledge graph reasoning, and norms and value reasoning, in an open, dynamic and real environment.

 

Along with the project, we organize annual international workshops that aim at enabling efficient communication and collaboration between members of the project as well as other researchers who are interested in the topics of this project.

 

Due to the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic situations, LNGAI 2021 will be held in a HYBRID format (virtual and physical attendance both accepted), but participants from China’s mainland should attend physically by default.

Topics include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Argument mining
  • Answer set programming
  • Autonomous agents and multi-agent systems

Important Dates

  • Submission deadline: April 1, 2021
  • Notification of acceptance: May 1, 2021
  • Final version of accepted papers: June 1, 2021
  • Workshop: June 18-20, 2021

 

Submissions

We invite two types of submissions: full papers (12 pages) describing original and unpublished work and extended abstracts (4 pages) of preliminary original work. Additional support material may be included in an appendix, which may be considered or ignored by the program committee.

Submissions must be formatted according to the LaTeX specification that can be downloaded here, similar to the one for DEON 2020.

Submissions not complying with these guidelines will be desk rejected.

Papers in PDF format should be submitted via EasyChair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lngai2021.

Each submitted paper will be peer-reviewed by a panel of PC members based on originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity of exposition and relevance for the conference. For each accepted paper, at least one author is expected to register and present the paper at the workshop.

 

Publication

All accepted papers will be published with College Publications. We are planning to organize a special issue of an international journal after the workshop.
