[DMANET] Next-Generation Models for Generative AI- DDP 2025- IEEE

CALL FOR PAPERS

Second Workshop on "Next-Generation Models for Generative AI"
(In conjunction with the Fifth International Conference on Digital Data Processing 2025-IEEE)
University of Bedfordshire, Luton. UK
August 18-20, 2025
(IEEE CPS will publish the proceedings, and papers should follow the IEEE template)

AI models use billions of parameters to detect and retrieve text and images. The currently available LL models are being tested for efficiency, while newer models are also being developed. There are many challenges associated with generative AI. The pre-training volume and efficiency are a focus. To leverage the training set with comprehensiveness and accuracy, billions of parameters are injected into the LLM. Current GPTs face criticism, and governments are cautious about their use.
The agenda for the future of Generative AI needs to be clarified. Improved generative tools should be capable of characterising extremist narratives in corpora to reveal different contexts, which may lead to building semantic-rich content for end-users. Evaluating the current models and their outcomes may inform future research. Considering these issues, we organised a workshop to address the theme of next-generation models. The workshop themes include, but are not limited to, the following.

Text, Image, Code, Video, 3D models
Domain-specific models
Impact of Generative AI on Teaching and Learning
Knowledge and Semantic Issues in Generative AI
Future LLM
AI Ethical Issues
AI and NLP
Embedding in AI
Reinforcement learning
Data Support and Datasets in AI
Standards and Benchmarks
Compositional generative models

[DMANET] [JAIR Special Track - 7th CFP] Integration of Logical Constraints in Deep Learning

(apologies for cross-posting)

======================================================================
Special Track on Integration of Logical Constraints in Deep Learning
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR)
Deadline extension: September 30, 2025
Info: https://www.jair.org/index.php/jair/SpecialTrack-LogicDL

Track Editors:

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

Overview:

Over the last few years, the integration of logical constraints in Deep Learning models has gained significant attention from research communities for its potential to enhance the interpretability, robustness, safety, and generalization capabilities of these models. This integration opens the possibility of incorporating prior knowledge, handling incomplete data, and combining symbolic and subsymbolic reasoning. Moreover, the use of logical constraints improves generalization, formal verification, and ethical decision-making. The versatility of logical constraint integration spans diverse domains, presenting both research challenges and opportunities. In recent times, there has been a growing trend in incorporating logical constraints into deep learning models, especially in safety-critical applications. Looking ahead, challenges in this field extend to the development of Machine Learning models that not only incorporate logical constraints but also provide robust assurances. This involves ensuring that AI systems adhere to specific (temporal) logical or ethical constraints, offering a level of guarantees in their behavior.

Thus, this special track seeks submissions on the integration of logical constraints into deep learning approaches. We are particularly interested in the following broad content areas.

- Formal verification of neural networks is an active area of research that has been proposing methods, tools, specification languages (e.g., VNNLIB), and annual competitions (e.g., VNN-COMP) devoted to verify that a neural network satisfies a certain property typically given in (a fragment) of first order logic.

- Synthesis aims at synthesizing neural networks that are compliant with some given constraint. Approaches to achieve this aim range from modifying the loss function in the training phase (i.e., soft constraint injection) to exploit counterexample guided inductive synthesis (CEGIS).

- Monitoring: Logical constraints can be used to mitigate and/or neutralize constraint violations of machine learning systems when formal verification and synthesis are not possible. Shielding techniques intervene by changing the output of the network when a constraint is being violated. Runtime monitoring can be used to anticipate failures of AI systems without modifying them.

- Explainability: Automated learning of formulae and logical constraints from past executions of the system provides natural explanations for neural network predictions and poses another avenue for future research. Formulae and constraints offer a high degree of explainability since they carry a precise syntax and semantics, and thus they can be "read" by humans more easily than other explainability methods.

This special track aims to explore and showcase recent advancements in the integration of logical constraints within deep learning models, spanning the spectrum of verification, synthesis, monitoring and explainability, by considering exact and approximate solutions, online and offline approaches. The focus will also extend to encompass innovative approaches that address the challenges associated with handling logical constraints in neural networks.

Submissions:

This special track seeks contributions that delve into various aspects of logic constraint integration in deep learning, including, but not limited to:

- Learning with logical constraints
- Enhancing neural network expressiveness for logical constraints
- Formal verification (certification) of neural networks
- Automated synthesis of certified neural networks, or of AI systems with neural nets
- Decision making: Strategy/policy synthesis for AI systems with neural networks
- Runtime monitoring of AI systems
- Learning of (temporal) logic formulae for explainable and interpretable AI
- Scalability challenges in neural networks with logical constraints
- Real-world applications of neural networks with logical constraints
- Enhancing model explainability via logical constraints
- Design of neural networks under temporal logical requirements

Pertinent review papers of exceptional quality may also be considered.

counterparts of real-world systems, when it is used together with
next-generation mobile communications (5G/6G), Virtual Reality (VR),
Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Transfer Learning
(TL), 3D models, Augmented Reality (AR), distributed computing and
intelligent health applications. The workshop will invite authors to submit
papers presenting new research on all aspects of DT networks, systems and
applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Data-driven and IoT-based DT networks for real-time communication
systems
• Real-time communication protocols for DT networks
• DT-enabled health applications
• Wireless communications for cyber-physical DT applications
• Security and privacy concepts in DT
• Trustworthy AI enabled DT applications
• DT-assisted AI applications for smart cities
• Communications protocols for enabling DT deployment in real-world
applications
• AI applications of DT systems
• DT in Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing
• DT for enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type
Communications (mMTC), and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications
(URLLC) applications
• DT for resource management and network optimization

[DMANET] Bulletin of the EATCS: Summer issue

Dear DMANET community,

the new Bulletin of the EATCS is now available:
https://www.eatcs.org/images/bulletin/beatcs146.pdf

In this edition:

- In the TCS on the Web column, Stefan Neumann interviews Tim
Roughgarden about the origins of his YouTube channel, the teaching
philosophy behind his videos, and how to make theoretical ideas accessible
to a broader audience.

- In the Distributed Computing column, Neil Giridharan surveys exciting
recent work on DAG Byzantine fault-tolerant protocols, including
Bullshark—the first partially synchronous DAG BFT protocol—and how newer
protocols like Shoal++ build upon it.

- In the Formal Language Theory column, Tim A. Hartmann explores
recursive naming procedures underlying generalized compass directions,
linking them to tabled Lindenmayer systems, which are typically used to
model plant growth.

- In the Education column, Ding and colleagues at ETH Zurich evaluate
the performance of GPT-4o and o1-preview in a proof-based university
course, under blind grading.

- In the Logic in Computer Science column, Yuri Gurevich presents a
thought-provoking dialogue on the axiomatization of interactive classical
algorithms.

You'll also find a report from the EATCS Japan Chapter in this issue.

Enjoy reading—and have a wonderful summer respectively winter, depending on
your hemisphere.

Best wishes!
Stefan

PS: As always, do not hesitate to contact me or any of our editors in case
you have suggestions for topics which should be covered in an upcoming
issue of the Bulletin!

[DMANET] Data Analytics in Biomedicine

Second International Workshop on Data Analytics in Biomedicine
held in conjunction with DDP2025 (IEEE)
Luton, UK
18-20 August 2025
https://socio.org.uk/ddp/workshopinter.php

CALL FOR PAPERS

The exponential growth of data generated from various textual sources presents both a challenge and a huge opportunity. A key challenge lies in effectively managing and extracting valuable insights from this vast amount of unstructured and heterogeneous data. To address this issue, advanced data analytics techniques, ranging from data and text mining to semantic network analysis and recent advancements in large language models (LLMs), have become indispensable tools for researchers and practitioners.
This is particularly relevant in the realm of biomedicine, where text mining has shown the ability to enable researchers to uncover hidden patterns, trends, and associations that would otherwise remain buried in the vast amount of health-related textual data, as research articles, clinical reports, and electronic health records (EHRs).

On the other hand, semantic network analysis, which focuses on understanding the structure and dynamics of networks formed by entities and their interconnections derived from text mining processes, can facilitate a deeper understanding of the complex interrelationships within biomedical data. By analyzing properties like centrality, modularity, and community structures, researchers can identify key nodes and critical pathways in biological networks, predict disease associations, and explore the functional organization of biological systems.
Integrating text mining, semantic network analysis, and large language models offers a powerful approach to enhance the ability to generate new hypotheses and insights and support the development of more effective diagnostics, treatments, and interventions.
The workshop represents an opportunity to explore the latest advancements in data analytics and text mining in biomedicine. Attendees will gain insights into developing more interpretable models, handling large-scale biomedical datasets, and implementing scalable solutions for real-world healthcare applications.

Moreover, the workshop is highly relevant because it has the potential to significantly improve the safety, effectiveness, and efficiency of biomedical interventions through advanced data analytics.

TOPIC OF INTEREST

We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
• Novel techniques and measures for assessing textual data quality and handling data integration.
• Advanced text-mining techniques for biomedical data
• Construction and analysis of semantic networks in biomedicine
• Case studies on integrated text mining and semantic network analysis
• Applications of LLMs in biomedicine
• Data analytics in precision medicine
• Text-driven approaches to drug discovery
• Interpretable or scalable data analytics approaches
• Application of data analytics and network science in narrative medicine
• Computational methods for disease modeling and prediction
• Ethical considerations in biomedical data analytics
• Multimodal biomedical data analytics
• Future trends and challenges in biomedical data analytics

Blockchain is a revolutionary technology in decentralized systems that
enables secure decentralized transaction processing while ensuring data
privacy and authenticity. It plays a significant role in several areas,
such as the Internet of Things, supply-chain management, manufacturing,
cyber-physical systems, healthcare systems, etc. Unlike centralized
transaction processing solutions, blockchain uses a distributed ledger
mechanism to record data transactions on multiple devices; this will
prevent data breaches, identity theft, and a plethora of cyber-related
attacks, leading to sustainability in data privacy and security. This
conference aims to attract the work of both researchers and practitioners
in the area of cyber-security to share and exchange their experiences and
research studies in both academia and industry in the field of blockchain.
