Call for Papers
13th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming
(ILP 2003)
Szeged, Hungary
September 29 - October 1, 2003
http://www.rgai.hu/ilp2003
The 13th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming
(ILP 2003), organized by the Department of Informatics at the
University of Szeged, will be held in Szeged, Hungary, September
29 - October 1, 2003. ILP 2003 will follow ECML/PKDD-2003 held in
Dubrovnik, Croatia (September 22 - 26, 2003), and will be co-located
with the Kalmar Workshop on Logic and Computer Science devoted to the
work of Laszlo Kalmar and to recent results in logic and computer
science (October 1 - 2, 2003).
The ILP conference series, started in 1991, was originally designed to
provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of
the latest research results in all areas of learning logic programs. In
keeping with this tradition, while reflecting also the broadening scope
of the field, authors are invited to submit papers presenting original
results in all aspects of learning logic programs, as well as
multi-relational learning and data mining, learning in first-order
logic and in other (non-propositional) logic-based knowledge
representation frameworks. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of
interest for submissions include
* theoretical aspects (logical foundations, computational/statistical
learning theory, specialization and generalization operators, etc.)
of learning in logic (logic programs, constraint logic programs,
Datalog, first-order logic, description logics, higher-order logic,
etc.),
* algorithmic aspects of learning in logic including the design of
algorithms along with theoretical and/or empirical analysis,
probabilistic and statistical approaches, distance and kernel-based
methods, relational reinforcement learning, etc.,
* learning and data mining from multi-relational databases,
scalability issues, inductive databases, link discovery,
* learning and data mining from structured (e.g., labeled graphs,
tree patterns) and semi-structured data (e.g., XML documents),
multi-instance learning,
* efficient implementations and practical applications of
multi-relational learning and data mining in bioinformatics,
computational chemistry, computational linguistics, relational text
and web mining, medical informatics, spatial data mining, etc.
Papers emphasizing new topics related to learning in logic and
multi-relational data mining are especially encouraged.
Important Dates:
================
This year, authors are required to submit a paper title and a short
abstract of about 200 words before submitting the paper.
Titles and short abstracts due: May 11, 2003
Papers due: May 18, 2003
Author notification: June 23, 2003
Camera-ready copies due: July 9, 2003
ILP 2003 Conference: September 30 - October 1, 2003
Proceedings:
============
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag
in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence subseries of LNCS. We
also plan to publish revised versions of selected papers in a journal
special issue.
Submission Information:
=======================
Papers must be written in English and should be no longer than 18
pages in Springer's LNCS/LNAI style. The cover page should include the
paper title, each author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, as
well as the corresponding author's name, phone and fax numbers, a list
of keywords, and an abstract of about 200 words. Only electronic
submissions in PDF or PostScript file format will be accepted. It is
the author's responsibility to ensure that the file is printable. All
submissions will be acknowledged shortly after receipt. For further
details and guidelines on paper submission please visit the ILP 2003
website above and also http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Simultaneous Submissions:
=========================
This year, simultaneous submissions to ECML/PKDD-2003 are allowed,
provided this fact is clearly indicated on the submission form.
Accepted papers will appear in the ILP 2003 conference proceedings
only if they are withdrawn from publishing in the proceedings of
ECML/PKDD-2003. Simultaneous submissions that are not clearly
specified as such will be rejected.
Short Presentations:
====================
ILP 2003 will have a session of short, 5-10 minutes presentations.
This session is intended for descriptions of work in progress,
student projects, open problems and research issues, as well as new
application challenges. Papers being published elsewhere are also
suitable. Papers submitted to this session should be no longer than
10 pages and must be received by August 10, 2003. Authors will be
notified of acceptance or rejection by August 25, 2003. Papers
accepted for this session will appear electronically and/or in a
technical report.
