Conference History

IJCLR was initiated in 2021 through the amalgamation of:

• the International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP)
• the International Workshop on Approaches and Applications of Inductive Programming (AAIP)
• the International Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning (NeSy)
• the International Workshop on Statistical Relational AI (StarAI)
• the International Workshop on Cognitive AI (CogAI, joined from 2023)

Transformation

Commencing in 2024, IJCLR has evolved from an aggregation of distinct workshops into a cohesive conference entity. This transformation encompasses the amalgamation of various topics of interest within the domains of learning and reasoning in artificial intelligence into a singular, integrated program.

Furthermore, the conference now boasts a unified and extensive proceeding that serves as the official record for publications in this area. The ILP, AAIP, and CogAI have been integrated into the IJCLR program, signifying a consolidation of these areas under the IJCLR umbrella. Concurrently, NeSy and StarAI maintain their distinct conferences/workshops, focusing on their respective specialized topics. Despite this, they persist as pivotal components within the IJCLR framework, embodying two of the primary research domains. Their contribution to the IJCLR is further evidenced by the inclusion of dedicated area chairs and reviewers from both fields, underscoring their integral role in shaping the conference’s comprehensive academic direction and ensuring its high quality.

Special Journal Issue

A Machine Learning Journal Special Issue is planned for IJCLR 2025. Submissions to the Journal Special Issue are by invitation only and from the papers submitted to the conference. Please see Call for Paper for more information.
