16 September 2025, 11th Workshop on Formal and Cognitive Reasoning (FCR 2025), Potsdam, Germany
In real-life AI applications, information is usually pervaded by uncertainty and subject to change, and thus requires non-classical systems. At the same time, psychological findings indicate that human reasoning cannot be completely described by classical logical systems. Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or inconsistencies. A wide range of reasoning mechanisms, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning, have to be considered, possibly in combination with machine learning methods. The field of knowledge representation and reasoning offers a rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning, both to describe human reasoning and to model AI approaches.
This series of workshops aims to address recent challenges and to present novel approaches to uncertain reasoning and belief change in their broad senses, and in particular, provide a forum for research work linking different paradigms of reasoning. A special focus is on papers that provide a base for connecting formal-logical models of knowledge representation and cognitive models of reasoning and learning, addressing formal and experimental or heuristic issues. FCR'25 will be co-located with the 48th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI 2025).
We welcome papers on the following and any related topics: Action and change Agents and multi-agent systems, Analogical reasoning, Argumentation theories, Belief change and belief merging, Cognitive modelling and empirical data, Common sense and defeasible reasoning, Computational thinking, Decision theory and preferences, Inductive reasoning and cognition, Knowledge representation in theory and practice, Learning and knowledge discovery in data, Neuro-symbolic AI, Nonmonotonic and uncertain reasoning, Ontologies and description logics, Probabilistic approaches of reasoning, and Syllogistic reasoning.
Long technical papers as well as short position papers and abstracts of published works are welcome. Papers should be formatted in CEUR style (1-column style) without enabled header and footer. The length of each paper is limited to 20 pages (including references and acknowledgements). - All papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format via the EasyChair system. One of the authors is expected to participate in the workshop and present their paper.
