Call for Papers - International Workshop on Trustworthiness and Reliability in Neurosymbolic AI @ IJCNN2025
July 5th, 2025, Rome, Italy
https://sites.google.com/view/trns-ai
ABOUT
Neurosymbolic AI is a new growing trend that has been able to merge the recent advances in AI through deep learning with logic and rule-based methods. The application of neurosymbolic AI seems to be spreading across many contexts, from image classification to Visual Question Answering. It has an expressive and semantic power that is not usually provided by classical deep learning. In addition, it has great potential in explainability, due to the logic-based methodologies that are a strong component of this context. These capabilities are only a starting point in XAI, they need to be explored in detail to facilitate the interpretability of whole models, in any part of them and not only in terms of the natural relationships that can be discovered. This workshop will focus on two main aspects:
1. Gives the possibility to extend the exploration of the explainability in multiple contexts, developing and adapting techniques that can be useful to relate classical deep learning approaches to their symbolic extensions.
2. Opens to the possibility to extend the understanding of neurosymbolic models to deep
aspects of AI.
These two concepts lead to the trustworthiness and reliability of the new trend of Neurosymbolic AI, increasing the confidence of end-users in choosing and believing in these methodologies for computer-aided applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Soft Computing methodologies
* Symbolic and Neurosymbolic AI
* Logic and Rule-based methods
* AI methods for explainability, interpretrability and reliability
* Resilient AI models
* From wide to task-specific methodologies
* Machine Learning and Deep Learning based AI methodologies
* Data-driven decision-making
* Multimodal Learning strategies
* Scalability and optimization of intelligent systems
* Generative AI and applications
GREAT EVENT! XAI CHALLENGE FOR PASSIONATE!
The workshop is growing fast and organizers are happy to announce that a challenge has been launched for all passionate students and researchers! The topic is Explainable AI for Educational Question-Answering. All details can be found in the website challenge page.

*Abstract*
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of methods for detecting
changepoints (also known as breakpoints or structural breaks) in data
streams. This surge has been driven by the wide range of applications where
changepoint methods are needed, including genomics, neuroscience, climate
science, finance, and econometrics, among others. This course serves as an
introduction to multiple changepoint detection methods.
This course will first address the simpler task of detecting a single
changepoint in the mean of a univariate data stream. This is crucial for
understanding several state-of-the-art approaches designed for detecting
multiple changepoints. Subsequently, we will delve into the fundamentals of
two classical approaches for multiple changepoint detection: (1) binary
segmentation and (2) dynamic programming. We will review their statistical
and computational properties and explain some of their recent improvements.
We will illustrate the application of these approaches to genomic datasets
using the Python/R programming language.

changepoint detection and proposed inference procedures for these models
that are both statistically and algorithmically efficient. He has applied
those new tools in many interdisciplinary projects involving cancer and
plant biologists, bioinformaticians, and statisticians.

RELATORI: Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) e Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna)
TITOLO: Teorema del Limite Centrale superdiffusivo per l'equazione di Burgers stocastica alla dimensione critica
RIASSUNTO: L'equazione di Burgers Stocastica (EBS) è stata introdotta da van Beijren, Kutner and Spohn per modellizzare sistemi diffusivi asimmetrici con una singola quantità conservata (e.g. il modello di esclusione semplice asimmetrico). Nella dimensione sub-critica d=1, EBS coincide con la derivata dell'equazione KPZ il cui comportamento a grandi scale è superdiffusivo con crescita polinomiale e le cui fluttuazioni coincidono con il KPZ Fixed Point, mentre nelle dimensioni super-critiche d>2, è diffusivo e converge a un'equazione del calore stocastica anisotropica. Alla dimensione critica, è stato congetturato che la EBS sia superdiffusiva con crescita logaritmica con un esponente preciso ma ciò è stato mostrato solo modulo correzioni di ordine inferiore. Il presente seminario è basato su un lavoro assieme a Quentin Moulard https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.00344, in cui indentifichiamo la superdiffusività e deriviamo le asintotiche della matrice di diffusione in modo esatto. Inoltre, dimostriamo che nel limite di scala corretto, ovvero che tiene presente della crescita logaritmiche alla diffusività, la soluzione di EBS soddisfa un teorema del limite centrale. Il nostro è il primo limite di scala superdiffusivo per un'equazione alle derivate parziali stocastica critica, al di là dell'ambito di applicabilità della teoria delle strutture di regolarità di Hairer.

returning a significant surplus to the university.
As part of our campaign to avert these redundancies, we are now launching
an open letter which can be viewed here:
*https://tinyurl.com/2vjxurb9 <https://tinyurl.com/2vjxurb9>*
If you are supportive and would like to sign, please fill in this form:
