Third International Workshop on Logics for New-Generation Artificial Intelligence (LNGAI 2023)
Hangzhou, China

ANNOUNCEMENT:
  • The deadline for submissions has been extended to June 3rd. (Please see all dates below.)
  • The workshop will be organised in hybrid mode, with all online talks scheduled in the same session
    • or day.

The Third International Workshop on Logics for New-Generation Artificial Intelligence (LNGAI 2023) will be held at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, 8th - 9th September 2023. While we encourage physical participation if possible, the workshop will be organized in a hybrid format, with both in-person and virtual participation options available. Participants can give or listen to talks on Zoom, enabling a wider range of attendees to join and engage with the community.

The workshop is associated with a national key project called “Research on Logics for New Generation Artificial Intelligence” (2021-2025), supported by the National Social Science Foundation of China. The main objectives of this project are to develop theories and techniques of non-monotonic logics and formal argumentation and apply them to causal reasoning, knowledge graph reasoning, and reasoning about norms and values, in an open, dynamic and real environment. Along with the project, we organize annual international workshops that aim at enabling efficient communication and collaboration between members of the project as well as other researchers who are interested in the topics of this project.
