Graph-based interpretability in neural networks and deep learning models.
Leveraging KR and KGs to infer causality and improve explanations in AI.
Enhancing reasoning capabilities in AI through symbolic and sub-symbolic Knowledge Representation (KR).
Combining traditional KR methods with modern XAI techniques for enhanced explainability.
Using ontologies and taxonomies to structure interpretable AI explanations.
Theoretical frameworks for explainability within KR and logic-based systems.
Explainable reasoning methods in rule-based and knowledge-based systems.
Explainability in dynamic and temporal Knowledge Graphs.
Factual and Counterfactual explanations for KGs.
Scalable approaches for real-time explainable reasoning using KR and KGs.
Evaluation protocols, metrics, and benchmarks for assessing the quality and clarity of KR- and KG-based explanations.
Cross-domain evaluation of XAI methods in knowledge-driven AI systems.
Interactive and adaptive explanation frameworks using KGs.
Personalization of explanations through contextual KR and user feedback.
Bias and fairness in explainable Knowledge Graphs and KR.
Identifying and mitigating systemic biases in AI explanations through KR.
Ensuring fairness in knowledge-driven XAI applications.
Hands-on tools and open-source libraries for implementing XAI and KGs in real-world settings.
Novel methodologies for integrating probabilistic KR with XAI.
Submissions must be written in English, prepared using the new CEUR-ART 1-column style (which you can download here, also available as an Overleaf template here), formatted in PDF, and submitted through EasyChair workshop page https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=xaikrkgecai2025. XAI+KRKG 2025 invites submissions of research, industry, and application contributions. There are two submission formats:
Regular papers (max 12 pages excluding references): must contain enough substance that they can be cited in other publications and may not have appeared before.
Short papers (max 6 pages excluding references): results and ideas of interest to the XAI-KRKG audience, including position papers, system and application descriptions and presentations of preliminary results, an overview of papers accepted at another conference. In the latter case, extended abstracts must clearly state the venue where the paper has been accepted.
All accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference and at least one author of each accepted paper must travel to the ECAI venue in person. Submissions should be single-blind so the names of the authors will be visible to the reviewers and should be indicated on the submitted files.
