We invite submissions for a Special Issue on Logics for the new AI Spring, to be published with the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning.
The development of logics capable of representing human-like reasoning has always been one of the central objectives of logic-based Artificial Intelligence. In addition to providing very successful tools for knowledge representation and reasoning, logic-based AI is now facing the new and pressing challenge related to the integration of symbolic and sub-symbolic AI. In pursuing it, logic can once again shape significantly the future developments of AI. The primary goal of this special issue is to gather cutting-edge contributions which will jointly provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art in the subject.
To achieve this, the scope of the special issue focuses on, but is not limited to, the following topics:
(1) Logical methods in symbolic AI;
(2) Logical methods in machine learning;
(3) Machine learning in a logical setting;
(4) Reasoning and (interactive) decision making under uncertainty.
Important: Given the goal of the special issue, authors are strongly encouraged to put forward as clearly as possible why and how their contribution can be seen to provide an element of the state-of-the-art in “Logic for Artificial Intelligence”. Failure to do so may lead to desk-rejection.
Instructions: Authors should prepare their manuscripts according to the “Instructions for Authors” guidelines of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning outlined at the journal website: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/international-journal-of-approximate-reasoning/0888-613X/guide-for-authors.
Submissions are expected to be written in LaTeX following the Journal’s template. All papers will be peer-reviewed according to the standard procedure.
All manuscripts should be submitted electronically through Editorial Manager ® at https://www.editorialmanager.com/ija/default1.aspx. When submitting papers, please select Article Type as “VSI:Logics for the new AI spring”.
Submission Deadline: 1st March 2023.
Keywords: Logic for AI; Machine Learning, Knowledge Representation; Symbolic AI; Hybrid systems.

CALL FOR PAPERS
________________
The First Workshop on Photorealistic Image and Environment Synthesis for Computer Vision (PIES-CV) will engage experts and researchers on the synthesis of photorealistic images and virtual environments, particularly in the form of public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures, for computer vision (CV) research. Such public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures will enable researchers to better investigate how photorealism affects CV algorithms and approaches. Photorealistic image and environment synthesis can benefit multiple research areas in addition to CV, such as machine learning, robotics, human perception, multimedia systems, and mixed reality.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
● 360° image/video capture and playback
● Automated/semi-automated reconstruction
● Computer vision algorithms based on photorealistic data
● Environment capture/scanning
● Evaluations of photorealistic images and environments
● High-fidelity mesh representations
● Image/video capture and playback
● Machine learning models based on photorealistic data
● Manipulation and interaction with synthetic objects
● Point cloud representations
● Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)
________________
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
________________
Full paper submissions should propose comprehensive and well-validated solutions, and adhere to the guidelines of standard WACV 2023 submissions (max 8 pages + references). Accepted full papers will be published under the WACV 2023 workshop proceedings and will be included in IEEE Xplore.
All submissions should be compiled for double-blind review and adopt the standard WACV 2023 template. An Overleaf Toolkit can be found at https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/wacv-2023-author-kit-template/sthdnkfzqvtf
