[PlanetKR] CfP: Workshop on Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation

[Jesse Heyninck]

CALL FOR PAPERS
Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation (CAKR)

September 2-4 2023

https://cakr23.krportal.org/

This workshop is part of the KR-23 workshop program (https://kr.org/KR2023/
).


** SCOPE AND EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS **

Knowledge representation is a lively and well-established field of AI,
where knowledge and belief are represented declaratively and suitable for
machine processing. It is often claimed that this declarative nature makes
knowledge representation cognitively more adequate than e.g. sub-symbolic
approaches, such as machine learning. This cognitive adequacy has important
ramifications for the explainability of approaches in knowledge
representation, which in its turn is essential for the trustworthiness of
these approaches. However, exactly how cognitive adequacy is ensured has
been often left implicit, and connections with cognitive science and
psychology have only recently been taken up.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts from fields
including artificial intelligence, psychology, cognitive science and
philosophy to discuss important questions related to cognitive aspects of
knowledge representation, such as:
- How can we study the cognitive adequacy of approaches in AI?
- Are declarative approaches cognitively more adequate than other
approaches in AI?
- What is the connection between cognitive adequacy and explanatory
potential?
- How to develop benchmarks for studying cognitive aspects of AI?
- Which results from psychology are relevant for AI?
- What is the role of the normative-descriptive distinction in current
developments in AI?


** CALL FOR PAPERS **

We invite three kinds of submissions to CAKR:
- long papers (12 pages plus one page for references) reporting unpublished
research,
- short papers (5 pages plus one page for references) reporting unpublished
research, and
- extended abstracts (3 pages including references) presenting work
relevant to the workshop already published in other conferences or
journals. Such an abstract should summarize the contributions of the
article and its relevance for the workshop, as well as include
bibliographic details of the article and a link to a pdf of the article.

Submissions should be formatted in the (one column) CEUR-format (see:
http://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html).

Submissions will be peer-reviewed to ensure quality and relevance to the
workshop. Reviewing will be inclusive, i.e. reviews will ensure relevance
for the workshop and basic quality control.

Submissions are handled through the EasyChair conference management system
(under ''Workshop / Tutorial Submission'', choose 'Cognitive Aspects of
Knowledge Representation''):
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2023

An informal proceedings containing all submissions will be published online
on the CEUR-WS.org website. All rights are retained by the authors.

At least one co-author of each accepted paper must register for and attend
the workshop.


** IMPORTANT DATES **
- May 31, 2023: Paper Submission Date
- July 4, 2023: Notification of Paper Acceptance
- July 18, 2023: Camera-ready papers due
- Workshop date: September 2-4, 2023 (exact date to be confirmed)
