The 1st International Joint Conference on Learning & Reasoning (IJCLR 2021) took place from 25 to 27 October 2021 as a fully virtual event. The highly successful conference was organised by Nikos Katzouris, post-doctoral researcher at the Institute of Informatics & Telecommunications of NCSR Demokritos, in Athens, Greece.
The two-day conference, which attracted more than 500 participants, brought together important keynote speakers such as: Francesca Rossi, Francesca Toni, Hector Geffner, Gary Marcus, Josh Tenenbaum, and Zhi-Hua Zhou. The conference brought together four international conferences & workshops, addressing all aspects of combining knowledge representation & machine reasoning with statistical, neural and symbolic learning:
- The 30th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP).
- The 15th International Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning & Reasoning (NeSy).
- The 10th International Workshop on Statistical Relational Artificial Intelligence (StarAI).
- The 10th International Workshop on Approaches & Applications of Inductive Programming (AAIP).
IJCLR aimed at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of learning & reasoning, via presentation of cutting-edge research on topics of special interest to the participating conferences/workshops. In addition to each of the four events’ individual programs, which were held in parallel, IJCLR aimed to promote collaboration and cross-fertilisation between different approaches and methodologies to integrating learning & reasoning, via joint keynotes, panel discussions and poster sessions.
