The 1st International Workshop on Machine Reasoning
(MRC 2021)
Co-located with The 14th ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining
Co-located with The 14th ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining
Recent years have witnessed the success of machine learning and especially deep learning in many research areas such as IR, Data Mining, Vision and Natural Language Processing. Though various learning approaches have demonstrated satisfying performance in perceptual tasks such as pattern recognition and matching by extracting useful features from data, the area still sees a large amount of research needed to advance from perceptual learning to cognitive reasoning in the coming years towards cognitive intelligence. This includes but is not limited to neural logic reasoning, probabilistic logic reasoning, neural-symbolic reasoning, causal reasoning, knowledge reasoning and commonsense reasoning.
The workshop focuses on the research and application of machine reasoning methods and applications in various tasks. It will gather researchers and practitioners in the field for discussions, idea communications, and research promotions. It will also generate insightful debates about the recent progress in machine intelligence to a broader community, including but not limited to IR, data mining, machine learning, CV, NLP, economics, legal regulations and beyond.
We welcome contributions of both long and short papers from a wide scope of topics of machine reasoning. Papers must be submitted to easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mrc2021 by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) on January 15 (Abstract) and January 20th (Full paper), 2021.
We welcome contributions of both long and short papers from a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following topics of interest:
PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDLINES
MRC 2021 paper submissions can either be long (maximum 9 pages plus reference) or short (maximum 4 pages plus reference). Each accepted paper (no matter short or long) will have an oral presentation in a plenary session, and will also be allocated a presentation slot in a poster session to encourage discussion and follow up between authors and attendees.
MRC 2021 submissions are double-blind. All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. MRC 2021 submissions should be prepared according to the standard double-column ACM SIG proceedings format. Additional information about formatting and style files is available on the ACM website. Papers must be submitted to easychair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mrc2021 by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) on January 15th (Abstract) and January 20th (Full paper), 2021.
