We invite submissions to the AAAI Spring Symposium on "Knowledge Representation and Reasoning: Integrating Symbolic and Distributional Approaches", to be held at Stanford University, CA, March 23-25, 2015. This will be a 2.5 day workshop in which we discuss methods for KR&R that can combine the strengths of symbolic approaches (e.g., knowledge bases, first order logic) with distributed approaches (e.g., deep learning, spectral embeddings), as well as hybrid variants thereof (e.g., hierarchical Bayesian models, probabilistic logic). We are interested in systems that can go beyond classifying inputs into one of a smallish set of labels, but instead can produce responses from an exponentially large set of possible answers (e.g., think of an open-domain question answering system, or a system that can predict the future behavior of a person given various sensory inputs).
Our preliminary list of invited speakers <https://www.hds.utc.fr/~bordesan/dokuwiki/doku.php>includes Antoines Borde <http://leon.bottou.org/>s, Leon Bottou, William Coh <http://web.mit.edu/cocosci/josh.html>en, Noah Goodman, P <http://www.stanford.edu/~ngoodman/>ercy Liang, David McAllester, Josh Tenenbaum, Micha <http://www.cyc.com/about/team/michael-witbrock>el Wittbrock, Luke Z <http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~./wcohen/>ettlemoyer. <http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~lsz/> Submission <http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~lsz/>s should be up to 4 pages in PDF format, and <http://ttic.uchicago.edu/~dmcallester/>are due by October 10, 2014. Please upload via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=krr2015 ; no email submissions will be accepted. Author names and affiliations should be displayed on the first page. The organizers are Andrew McCallum (UMass), Ramanathan Guha (Google), Evgeniy Gabrilovich (Google), Kevin Murphy (Google). Further details can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/krr2015/.
