Call for Papers - International Workshop on Trustworthiness and Reliability in Neurosymbolic AI @ IJCNN2025 July 5th, 2025, Rome, Italy

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.
