First Call for Papers: ILP, MLG, SRL 2009
* SRL-2009 - International Workshop on Statistical Relational Learning
* ILP-2009 - 19th International Conference on Inductive Logic
Programming
* MLG-2009 - 7th International Workshop on Mining and Learning with Graphs
JOINT CALL FOR PAPERS
In 2009, three international conferences / workshops on learning from
relational, graph-based and probabilistic knowledge will be co-located:
ILP-2009, the 19th International Conference on Inductive Logic
Programming; MLG-2009, the 7th International Workshop on Mining and
Learning with Graphs; and SRL-2009, the International Workshop on
Statistical Relational Learning.
These events are held in Leuven, Belgium, on July 2-4, 2009. Time and
location are highly compatible with the KDD-2009 conference in Paris,
June 28 - July 1, at only 2 hours train travel from Leuven.
AIM AND SCOPE
The ILP conference series has been the premier forum for work on
logic-based approaches to learning for almost two decades. It has
recently reached out to other forms of relational learning and to
probabilistic approaches.
The MLG workshop series focuses on graph-based approaches to machine
learning and data mining; since its conception in 2003, attendance
numbers have consistently increased, and it now enjoys worldwide
recognition.
The SRL workshop series focuses on statistical inference and learning
with relational and first-order logical representations. The combination
of probability theory with relational (or first-order logic) knowledge
representations has been the subject of much recent research.
While the three series clearly have their own identity, there is a
significant overlap in the topics covered by each of them. The aim of
this colocation is to increase interaction between the three
communities. The format of the joint event will stimulate such
interaction by providing joint invited speakers and tutorials, joint
sessions and poster sessions, and ample time and space for discussions
in smaller groups, in addition to the regular programs of the three events.
Detailed calls for papers for the respective workshops, including
submission instructions, are or will become available at
http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~dtai/sim/
Submissions to the events will be in the form of extended abstracts
which can be accepted for either an oral or a poster presentation. The
abstracts will be made available in an informal way (though more formal
post-conference publications are being considered as well, such as a
post-conference proceedings for ILP and possibly special issues of
journals for all events, more precise information on this will become
available at the website). As it is the goal that the very best work in
the area be presented at the events, authors are explicitly encouraged
to submit extended abstracts of high quality work in the area that has
recently been accepted or published at key venues.
