Conceptual Knowledge Acquisition: Challenges, Opportunities, and Use Cases

Workshop at the 1st International Joint Conference on
Conceptual Knowledge Structures (CONCEPTS 2024)

September 9–13 2024, Cádiz, Spain

================================================================

Formal concept analysis (FCA) can help make sense of data and the underlying 
domain --- provided the data is not too big, not too noisy, representative of 
the domain, and if there is data in the first place. What if you don’t have such 
data readily available but are prepared to invest in collecting it and have 
access to domain experts or other reliable queryable sources of information? 
Conceptual exploration comes to the rescue!

Conceptual exploration is a family of knowledge-acquisition techniques within 
FCA. The goal is to build a complete implicational theory of a domain (with 
respect to a fixed language) by posing queries to a domain expert. When properly 
implemented, it is a great tool that can help organize the process of scientific 
discovery.

Unfortunately, proper implementations are scarce and success stories of using 
conceptual exploration are somewhat rare and limited in scope. With this 
workshop, we intend to analyze the situation and, maybe, find a solution. If

- you succeeded in acquiring new knowledge about or building a satisfying 
conceptual representation of some domain with conceptual exploration before;
- you attempted conceptual exploration in application to your problem but failed 
miserably;
- you want to use conceptual exploration to analyze some domain, but you don’t 
know where and how to start;
- you are aware of alternatives to conceptual exploration;

then come to the workshop to share your experiences, insights, ideas, and 
concerns with us!

Duration, Format, and Dates
=========================

We invite contributions in the form of an extended abstract of up to two pages. 
In addition, supplementary material, such as data sets, detailed descriptions, 
or visualizations, may be submitted.

The workshop is planned for half a day within the conference dates and at the 
same venue. It will consist of several short presentations each followed by a 
plenary discussion.

Please send your contributions until *July 10, 2024* to 
tom.hanika at uni-hildesheim.de. If you are not sure whether your contribution 
matches the topics or the format of the workshop, you are welcome to contact the 
organizers prior to submitting the abstract. An acceptance notification will be 
sent within two weeks upon receiving the submission.
