The works hop brings together established leaders and promis ing young scientists in the fields of neural compu tation, logic and artificial intelligence, knowled ge representation, natural language understanding, machine learning, cognitive science and computati onal neuroscience. Invited lectures by senior rese archers will be complemented with presentations ba sed on contributed papers reporting recent work (f ollowing an open call for papers) and a poster ses sion, giving ample opportunity for participants to interact and discuss the complementary perspectiv es and emerging approaches.
\n\nThe worksh op targets a single broad theme of general interes t to the vast majority of the NIPS community, name ly translations between connectionist models and s ymbolic knowledge representation and reasoning for the purpose of achieving an effective integration of neural learning and cognitive reasoning, calle d neural-symbolic computing. The study of neural-s ymbolic computing is now an established topic of w ider interest to NIPS with topics that are relevan t to almost everyone studying neural information p rocessing.
\nWe invite submis sion of papers dealing with topics related to the research questions discussed in the workshop. The reported work can range from theoretical/foundatio nal research to reports on applications and/or imp lemented systems. We explicitly also encourage the submission of more controversial papers which can serve as basis for open discussions during the ev ent. Deadline for paper submission: October 10, 20 16.
