Learning and Automata (LearnAut) 2024 -- ICALP 2024 Workshop, first

von Sammartino, Matteo

Call for papers Learning and Automata (LearnAut) -- ICALP 2024 workshop July 7th - Tallinn, Estonia Website: https://learnaut24.github.io/ Deadline: April 18 Submission portal: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=learnaut2024 Learning models defining recursive computations, like automata and formal grammars, are the core of the field called Grammatical Inference (GI). The expressive power of these models and the complexity of the associated computational problems are major research topics within mathematical logic and computer science. Historically, there has been little interaction between the GI and ICALP communities, though recently some important results started to bridge the gap between both worlds, including applications of learning to formal verification and model checking, and (co-)algebraic formulations of automata and grammar learning algorithms. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts on logic who could benefit from grammatical inference tools, and researchers in grammatical inference who could find in logic and verification new fruitful applications for their methods. We invite submissions of recent work, including preliminary research, related to the theme of the workshop. The Program Committee will select a subset of the abstracts for oral presentation. At least one author of each accepted abstract is expected to represent it at the workshop. Note that accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website but will not be part of formal proceedings (i.e., LearnAut is a non-archival workshop). Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Computational complexity of learning problems involving automata and formal languages. - Algorithms and frameworks for learning models representing language classes inside and outside the Chomsky hierarchy, including tree and graph grammars. - Learning problems involving models with additional structure, including numeric weights, inputs/outputs such as transducers, register automata, timed automata, Markov reward and decision processes, and semi-hidden Markov models. - Logical and relational aspects of learning and grammatical inference. - Theoretical studies of learnable classes of languages/representations. - Relations between automata or any other models from language theory and deep learning models for sequential data. - Active learning of finite state machines and formal languages. - Methods for estimating probability distributions over strings, trees, graphs, or any data used as input for symbolic models. - Applications of learning to formal verification and (statistical) model checking. - Metrics and other error measures between automata or formal languages. ** Submission instructions ** Submissions in the form of anonymized extended abstracts must be at most 8 single-column pages long (plus at most four for bibliography and possible appendixes) and must be submitted in the JMLR/PMLR format. The LaTeX style file is available here: https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/jmlr We do accept submissions of work recently published, currently under review or work-in-progress. - Submission url: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=learnaut2024 - Submission deadline: April 18 - Notification of acceptance: May 13 - Early registration: May 17 (ICALP) - Workshop: July 7 ** Organizers ** Sophie Fortz (King's College London, UK) Franz Mayr (Universidad ORT Uruguay, UY) Joshua Moerman (Open Universiteit, Heerlen, NL) Matteo Sammartino (Royal Holloway, University of London, UK) This email, its contents and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

Originally born as a formal method for reasoning about abstract data types, it now covers new specification frameworks and programming paradigms (such as object-oriented, aspect-oriented, agent-oriented, logic and higher-order functional programming) as well as a wide range of application areas (including information systems, concurrent, distributed and mobile systems). The workshop will provide an opportunity to present recent and ongoing work, to meet colleagues, and to discuss new ideas and future trends. TOPICS OF INTEREST Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are: – Foundations of algebraic specification – Other approaches to formal specification, including process calculi and models of concurrent, distributed, and cyber-physical systems – Specification languages, methods, and environments – Semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques – Model-driven development – Graph transformations, term rewriting, and proof systems – Integration of formal specification techniques – Theorem-proving technologies and integration with specification languages – Formal testing and quality assurance, validation, and verification – Algebraic approaches to knowledge representation and cognitive sciences WORKSHOP FORMAT AND LOCATION The workshop will be part of the STAF 2024 multi-conference at Twente, the Netherlands. Presentations will be selected on the basis of submitted abstracts. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: 15 Apr 2024 Abstract notification: 29 Apr 2024 Full-paper submission: 16 Sep 2024 Full-paper notification: 25 Nov 2024 SUBMISSIONS The scientific programme of the workshop will include presentations of recent results or ongoing research as well as invited talks. The presentations will be selected by the Programme Committee on the basis of submitted abstracts according to originality, significance and general interest. Abstracts must not exceed two pages, including references, in LNCS format. If a longer version of the contribution is available, it can be made accessible on the web and referenced in the abstract. The abstracts will have to be submitted electronically via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=staf2024. POST-PROCEEDINGS After the workshop, authors will be invited to submit full papers for the refereed proceedings. All submissions will be reviewed by the Programme Committee. The selection of papers will be based on originality, soundness, and significance of the presented ideas and results. The post-proceedings will then be published by Springer as a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science. SPONSORSHIP The workshop takes place under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.3.
