We invite submissions of the latest research results concerning applications and theory of explanations, ontology and knowledge graphs to the Workshop on Data meets Applied Ontologies (DAO-XAI 2024) an event associated with the 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2024).

Important dates

• 30 May 2024 14/06/2024: Deadline for papers’ submission

• 01 July 2024 15/07/2024 19/07/2024: Papers’ acceptance notification

• 31 July 2024: Papers’ camera-ready version

• 19-20 October 2024: Date of the workshop

In addition to regular paper submissions, we will also consider the option of accepting papers rejected from the main conference. Potential authors will be invited to submit their papers and the reviews by 11 July 2024, and a final decision will be made by 18 July 2024.

Topics 

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• neuro-symbolic and explainable AI,

• reasoning with explainable neural models,

• representation and refinement of symbolic knowledge by artificial neural networks,

• explanation formats exploiting domain knowledge,

• factual and counterfactual explanations,

• causal thinking, reasoning and modeling,

• large language models (LLMs), ontologies and knowledge graphs for explainable AI,

• LLMs prompt engineering for ontology and knowledge graph generation for explainable AI,

• knowledge representation and reasoning in machine learning and deep learning for human-centric explanations,

• knowledge extraction and distillation from neural and statistical learning models,

• cognitive computational systems integrating machine learning and automated reasoning,

• applications of ontologies for explainability and trustworthiness in finance, medical and health sciences, etc.

Submission

The workshop invites three types of submissions:

• Regular papers (max. 15 pages + references – CEUR single-column format);

• Short/Position papers (max. 9 pages + references – CEUR single-column format);

• Re-submitted ECAI papers (max. 15 pages + references - CEUR single-column format)

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed based on originality, significance, relevance and technical quality. 

Manuscripts should be submitted via easychair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=daoxai2024

Manuscripts should be formatted using the single-column CEUR-ART Style (you can access the Overleaf template here, For more information see http://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html). 

Accepted papers will be published in a proceedings volume in the IAOA Series of CEUR-WS (Scopus indexed).
