Analogy-ANGLE 2024: The First Workshop on Analogical Abstraction in Cognition, Perception, and Language Jeju, North Korea, August 3-4, 2024 |
Conference website | https://analogy-angle.github.io/ |
Submission deadline | May 3, 2024 |
Analogy-ANGLE is a new interdisciplinary workshop co-located with IJCAI 2024 on August 3rd or 4th, 2024 in Jeju, South Korea. Analogy-ANGLE aims to bring together researchers with an interest in analogical abstraction from natural language processing, cognitive psychology, computer vision, deep learning, and neuro-symbolic AI. This workshop will enable a common ground where the complementary perspectives from these fields can come together to form a comprehensive picture of the current landscape of analogical abstraction, and point to standing challenges, evaluation methodologies, and emerging techniques of interest. Thus, we organize this workshop at IJCAI where leading researchers from the focal areas are gathered. The multidisciplinary nature of the workshop is emphasized by the broad set of skills of the organization team and the program committee, and the diversity principle guiding the list of topics and the invited keynotes.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions can fall into one of the following categories:
- Full Research Papers (up to 7 pages plus 2 pages for references) - Papers with original research work which will be judged on their technical soundness and rigor, though allowances made for novel or experimental directions. We also welcome submissions reporting negative results and sharing experimental insights on the technical challenges and issues of analogical abstraction.
- Short Papers (up to 4 pages) - Position papers or reports of ongoing work on new research directions.
- Dissemination Papers - Already published papers from top AI venues such as IJCAI, NeurIPS, AAAI, ICML, ICLR, ACL, and EMNLP that are relevant to the workshop. Please upload the original submission and abstract to our submission site.
Full and short research papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers from the PC. Accepted full and short papers will be included in the proceedings of the workshop. Dissemination papers will go through a short review from the organizers, checking for their quality and relevance to the workshop. Dissemination papers will not be included in the workshop proceedings.
Submissions should be anonymized and the review will be double-blind. Preprints can be stored on arXiv.
