CALL FOR PAPERS

The ILP conference series, started in 1991, is the premier

international forum on learning from structured data. Originally

focusing on the induction of logic programs, it broadened its scope

and attracted a lot of attention and interest in recent years. Authors

are invited to submit papers presenting original results on all

aspects of learning in logic, multi-relational learning and data

mining, statistical relational learning, graph and tree mining,

relational reinforcement learning, and other forms of learning from

structured data.

Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest for submissions

include:

- theoretical aspects: learning scenarios, data/model representation

frameworks, their computational and/or statistical properties, etc.

- algorithmic and implementation aspects: sclability, efficiency,

parallelism, management of algorithms and/or discovered patterns,

discovery workflows, etc.

- applications of learning from relational data in areas of science

(bioinformatics, cheminformatics, medical informatics, etc.), natural

language processing (computational linguistics, text and web mining

etc.), engineering, the arts, etc.

We solicit three kinds of papers:

1) Long papers describing original mature work containing appropriate

experimental evaluation and/or representing a self-contained

theoretical contribution. Long papers will be reviewed by 3 members of

the program committee. Authors will be notified prior to the

conference on acceptance/rejection for the Springer post-conference

proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will be assigned a standard

time slot for presentation.

2) Short papers describing original work in progress, brief accounts

of original ideas without conclusive experimental evaluation, and

other relevant work of potentially high scientific interest but not

yet qualifying for the long paper category. The PC chairs will accept/

reject short papers on the grounds of relevance. Authors of accepted

short papers will be assigned a reduced time slot for presentation.

Each short paper will be reviewed by 3 members of the program

committee on the basis of both the manuscript and its presentation,

and the authors of selected papers will be invited to submit a long

version for the Springer post-conference proceedings; the paper will

be finally accepted if satisfactorily addressing the reviewer's

requirements.

3) Papers relevant to the conference topics and recently published or

accepted for publication by a first-class conference such as ECML/

PKDD, ICML, KDD, ICDM etc. or journal such as MLJ, DMKD, JMLR etc. The

PC chairs will accept/reject such papers on the grounds of relevance

and quality of the original publication venue. Authors of accepted

papers will be assigned a reduced time slot for presentation. These

papers will not appear in the Springer post-conference proceedings.

Submissions in category 1 or 2 must not have been published or be

under review for a journal or for another conference with published

proceedings. They should be submitted in the Springer LNCS format.

Long (short) papers must not exceed 12 (6) pages. Papers in category 3

should be submitted in their original format and the authors should

indicate the original publication venue.

A special issue of the Machine Learning journal is planned following

the conference, with papers selected by the PC from all the three

categories above, significantly revised and/or extended to meet the

MLJ criteria, and re-reviewed by the PC.
