CfP special issue of IJAR on logics for the new AI spring

We invite submissions for a Special Issue on Logics for the new AI Spring, to be published with the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning.

The development of logics capable of representing human-like reasoning has always been one of the central objectives of logic-based Artificial Intelligence. In addition to providing very successful tools for knowledge representation and reasoning, logic-based AI is now facing the new and pressing challenge related to the integration of symbolic and sub-symbolic AI. In pursuing it, logic can once again shape significantly the future developments of AI. The primary goal of this special issue is to gather cutting-edge contributions which will jointly provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art in the subject.

To achieve this, the scope of the special issue focuses on, but is not limited to, the following topics: (1) Logical methods in symbolic AI; (2) Logical methods in machine learning; (3) Machine learning in a logical setting; (4) Reasoning and (interactive) decision making under uncertainty.
