ILP 2018 Joint Call for Papers

September 2nd - 4th, Ferrara, Italy
http://ilp2018.unife.it/

----------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to the usual conference track, this year ILP offers a Journal Track.

JOURNAL TRACK
--------------
We are delighted to introduce a Journal Track whose accepted papers
will be published in the Machine Learning Journal Special Issue on
Inductive Logic Programming - ILP 2017 and 2018, collecting the best
papers coming from ILP 2017 and ILP 2018.

Submission:
Papers for the Special Issue are solicited in all areas of learning in
logic, multi-relational data mining, statistical relational learning,
learning in other (non-propositional) logic-based knowledge
representation frameworks, exploring intersections to ILP and other
machine learning approaches are invited. However, given the special
nature of the journal track, only papers that satisfy the quality
criteria of journal papers and at the same time lend themselves to
conference talks will be considered.

The journal track allows continuous submissions from October 2017 to
the beginning of February 2018. Papers will be processed and sent out
for review after each of the following three cutoff dates:

* 17th November 2017
* 29th December 2017
* 5th February 2018

The deadline on each of these dates is midnight, Central European Time.

Papers rejected at this track are welcome to the conference track.

Additional information about the submission guidelines is available at
