[PlanetKR] Second call for papers: 3rd International Workshop on Argumentation for eXplainable AI (ArgXAI at ECAI)

[Rago, Antonio]

We kindly invite contributions to the 3rd International Workshop on Argumentation for eXplainable AI (ArgXAI), co-located with the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI), which takes place in Bologna, 25-30 October 2025.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from the fields of computational argumentation and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI).


Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: 15 July 2025 (AoE)
Notification of acceptance: 10 September 2025
Camera-ready version: 1 October 2025
Workshop: (TBD) 25 or 26 October 2025


Workshop website: https://people.cs.umu.se/tkampik/argxai/2025.html


Submission guidelines

Submissions must be up to 12 pages in PDF format, including abstracts, figures and references, and according to the CEUR-WS template<https://www.overleaf.com/project/5e76702c4acae70001d3bc87>. The reviewing will be single-blind. All submissions will be made electronically through EasyChair<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=argxai25>.

Accepted papers will be included in CEUR-WS proceedings after a careful review process, likely before the workshop date. At least one of the authors will be required to register and attend the ECAI conference to present the paper in order for it to be included in the workshop proceedings.


Topics

We specifically seek contributions that present formal work on argumentative explainability, as well as argumentative approaches that explain the behaviour of intelligent systems (argumentation for XAI). Topics include, but are not limited to:

Argumentative Explainability

  *   Formal definitions of explanations
  *   Defeasible reasoning and explanations
  *   Computational properties of explanations
  *   Neuro-symbolic explainable argumentation
  *   Explanation as a form of argumentation or defeasible reasoning
  *   Human intelligibility of formal argumentation
  *   Dialectical, dialogical and conversational explanations
  *   AI methods to support argumentative explainability
  *   Analogous topics for other defeasible reasoning approaches

Argumentation for XAI

  *   Applications of argumentation for explainability in the fields of AI (e.g. machine learning, machine reasoning, multi-agent systems, natural language processing) and overlapping fields of research (e.g. optimisation, human-computer interaction, philosophy and social sciences)
  *   User-acceptance and evaluation of argumentation-based explanations
  *   Software systems that provide argumentation-based explanations
  *   Applications of other defeasible reasoning approaches to XAI
