[CFP] GeNeSy: The first international workshop on Generative Neuro-Symbolic AI (ESWC 2024)

Call for Papers: GeNeSy – The first international workshop on Generative
Neuro-Symbolic AI (@ESWC 2024)
May 26/27, 2024, Hersonissos, Crete, Greece
https://sites.google.com/view/genesy2024/

The *GeNeSy* workshop aims at gathering researchers in *Ge*nerative and *Ne*
uro-*Sy*mbolic AI to combine expertise, perspectives, and pioneering works
and pave the way towards novel methods and paradigms for Generative
Neuro-Symbolic AI. GeNeSy will feature novel and already published papers
on NeSy methods for reasoning and explanations in multiple modalities,
benchmarks and evaluation methods, challenges like commonsense reasoning
and human-AI teaming, and reflection on ethical and social implications of
GenAI.

*Important dates*
Article submission: March 7th, 2024
Author notification: April 4th, 2024
Camera-ready version: April 18, 2024
Workshop day: May 26 or 27, 2024

*Speakers*
Frank van Harmelen, VU University Amsterdam
Efthymia Tsamoura, Samsung AI Centre, Cambridge
Sungjin Ahn, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)

*Topics*
We invite research on different topics and challenges at the intersection
of Generative and Neuro-Symbolic AI. The following list of topics is
illustrative, and not exhaustive.


   - Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy) approaches for data generation, including (but
   not limited to) text; images and videos; audio; time-series; and multimodal
   applications
   - Methods for knowledge graph completion and knowledge-augmented
   explanation
   - Neuro-symbolic methods for knowledge-augmented reasoning
   - Neuro-symbolic methods for generative commonsense reasoning
   - NeSy methods for data quality assessment and evaluation
   - Review of Generative NeSy architectures and tasks
   - Human-centric and cognitive Generative NeSy architectures
   - Trustworthy methods for computational creativity in art and science
   - Frameworks for the validation, verification, and adaptation of
   Generative AI outputs
   - Applications and expected challenges for Generative NeSy methods
   - Ethical, societal implications and case studies of Generative AI
   methods


*Article types*
In GeNeSy, we wish to stimulate the exchange of novel ideas and
interdisciplinary perspectives. To do this, we will accept 4 different
types of papers: technical, short, dissemination, and review.


   - Technical papers will be judged on their technical soundness and
   rigour, though allowances made for novel or experimental directions.
   - Short papers may be position papers or reports of new directions
   especially where less mature (but nonetheless technically sound) work will
   be considered.
   - Review articles of GeNeSy architectures and applications.
   - Dissemination articles include already published papers from top AI
   venues such as NeurIPS, WebConf, AAAI, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP that are
   relevant to the workshop.


All papers must be formatted using the CEUR Workshop Proceedings template,
and submitted electronically via EasyChair
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=genesy2024>. *Selected papers will
be invited to submit to the Special Issue on “Knowledge Graphs and
Neurosymbolic AI” of the **Neurosymbolic Artificial Intelligence*
<https://neurosymbolic-ai-journal.com/>* journal*. Please, find more info
on the CfP at this link

*Location*
GeNeSy is co-located at the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) 2024.
