Call Deadline: 16-Nov-2015
Meeting Description:
The scope of the FLAIRS Knowledge-Based AI track includes research, proof-of-concept and industry applications in the area of knowledge-based AI, i.e. systems whose functionality is informed by computational knowledge resources (ontologies, lexicons, semantic networks and/or knowledge bases). While the knowledge-based AI is often juxtaposed to the statistics-based AI, we see the contrast as unnecessarily exclusionary, in that systems combining the intuitive directness of knowledge representation with the efficiency of statistical approximation have distinct advantages.

Call for Papers:
Papers and contributions are encouraged for any work relating to Knowledge-Based AI. Topics of interest may include (but are in no way limited to):
- Ontologies
- Spreading activation networks
- Lexicon acquisition
- Knowledge integration
- Applications in knowledge-based AI
- Hybrid probabilistic/machine-learning & knowledge-based systems
Note: We invite original papers (i.e. work not previously submitted, in submission, or to be submitted to another conference during the reviewing process).
Submission Guidelines:
Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or submitted to another conference while in review). Papers should not exceed 6 pages (4 pages for a poster) and are due by November 16, 2015. For FLAIRS-29, the 2016 conference, the reviewing is a double blind process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, which can be accessed through the main conference web site (
http://www.flairs-29.info/). Note: do not use a fake name for your EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from reviewers. Authors should indicate the [your track name] special track for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires that there be at least one full author registration per paper.
Please, check the website
http://www.flairs-29.info/ for further information.
Conference Proceedings:
Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by AAAI Press.
