10 - 13 July 2023, 16th International Conference on Grammatical Inference (ICGI 2023), Rabat, Morocco
Grammatical Inference is the research area at the intersection of Machine Learning and Formal Language Theory. Since 1993, the International Conference on Grammatical Inference (ICGI) is the meeting place for presenting, discovering, and discussing the latest research results on the foundations of learning languages, from theoretical and algorithmic perspectives to their applications (natural language or document processing, bioinformatics, model checking and software verification, program synthesis, robotic planning and control, intrusion detection...).
This 16th edition of ICGI will be held in-person in Rabat, the modern capital with deep-rooted history of Morocco located on the Atlantic Coast. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the ICGI conference, the program will include a distinguished lecture by Dana Angluin. The program will also include two invited talks, on recent advances of Grammatical Inference for Natural Language Processing and Bioinformatics by Cyril Allauzen (Google NY) and Ahmed Elnaggar (TU München), a half-day tutorial at the beginning of the conference on formal languages and neural models for learning on sequences by Will Merrill, as well as oral presentations of accepted papers.
We welcome three types of papers:
- Formal and/or technical papers describe original contributions (theoretical, methodological, or conceptual) in the field of grammatical inference. A technical paper should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested, and the benefits of the contribution.
- Position papers can describe completely new research positions, approaches, or open problems. Current limits can be discussed. In all cases, rigor in the presentation will be required. Such papers must describe precisely the situation, problem, or challenge addressed, and demonstrate how current methods, tools, or ways of reasoning, may be inadequate.
- Tool papers describing a new tool for grammatical inference. The tool must be publicly available and the paper has to contain several use-case studies describing the use of the tool. In addition, the paper should clearly describe the implemented algorithms, input parameters and syntax, and the produced output.
Deadline for submissions: March 12th, 2023.
Additionally we invite extended abstracts on work in progress that may be of interest to the grammatical inference community. You will get the opportunity to present and discuss your work in progress at ICGI in Rabat, Morocco, July 10-13th. Extended abstracts of work in progress will not appear in the proceedings (as they will not be formally peer reviewed), but will be available on the website. Deadline: June 10th, 2023.
