[CfP] TGDK special issue on Neuro-Symbolic Modeling for Human-Centric AI

[Stefano De Giorgis]

[Apologies for potential cross-posting.]
Less than one moth to submit to our special issue on Neuro-Symbolic Modeling for Human-Centric AI at TGDK - Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge.

This special issue welcomes contributions on the development of graph-based abstractions and implementations of graph-based approaches for human-centered AI. It welcomes hybrid neuro-symbolic and graph-based approaches focused on knowledge reasoning for learning, and learning approaches for reasoning, as well as the design and curation of graph-based data and semantic models to explore the inclusion and representation of human identities in AI systems.

Scope

This special issue solicits submissions of research, resource and survey articles that conform to the scope of TGDK on the following specific topics:

• Ontology modeling and knowledge representation for Human-Centric AI
  • Knowledge representation for reducing bias in AI
  • Ontologies of identity dimensions and psychology for AI
  • Ontologies of sociological and communication theories for AI
  • Linked Data approaches for Human-Centric AI
• Data quality, integration and provenance for Human-Centric AI
  • FAIR and CARE principles for AI models
  • Graph-based provenance approaches for AI models
  • Incorporating cultural metadata into AI workflows
  • KG-driven approaches for bias detection and mitigation in archives
• LLM integration with graph-structured knowledge for the design of fair AI technologies
  • Question answering with LLMs and graph-structured knowledge
  • Reducing LLM hallucinations with graph-structured knowledge
  • Injecting graph-structured knowledge into LLMs
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation using graph-structured knowledge
  • Enhancing graph-structured knowledge using LLMs
• Logic and reasoning for Explainable AI
  • Logic-based methods for governance of AI
  • Logic-based methods for ethical AI frameworks
  • Logic-based methods for legal compliance of AI
  • Extraction of logic-based representations for explainable AI
