Introduction

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on the intersections of language models, knowledge representation, and reasoning, particularly, but not exclusively, in medical, law, and science domains. We encourage submissions that discuss novel techniques, approaches, and innovative ideas related to this topic. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Language models' reasoning abilities and knowledge representation analysis
• Infusing KR-style reasoning into language models
• Knowledge injection and extraction mechanisms in language models
• Qualitative assessment of reasoning accuracy in language models
• Techniques for enhancing language model reasoning predictability
• Formalizing language models' reasoning types
• Reasoning applications in medicine, law, and science domains
• Ethics and limitations of reasoning in language models
• Language model reasoning categories: Deductive, Inductive, Abductive
• Formal vs. informal 'common sense' reasoning comparison
• Chain of thought prompting investigation
• Prompting and in-context learning examination
• Problem decomposition strategies exploration
• Rationale engineering studies
• Bootstrapping and self-improvement methods evaluation
• Language models integration with knowledge graphs
• Unstructured data conversion to knowledge graphs
• Domain-specific language models development
• Research on neurosymbolic knowledge representation models

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• Regular papers up to 9 pages
• Position papers up to 5 pages
