StarAI 2016 - Sixth International Workshop on Statistical Relational AI

The purpose of the Statistical Relational AI (StarAI) workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from two fields: logical (or relational) AI and probabilistic (or statistical) AI. These fields share many key features and often solve similar problems and tasks. Until recently, however, research in them has progressed independently with little or no interaction. The fields often use different terminology for the same concepts and, as a result, keeping-up and understanding the results in the other field is cumbersome, thus slowing down research. Our long term goal is to change this by achieving a synergy between logical and statistical AI. As a stepping stone towards realizing this big picture view on AI, we are organizing the Sixth International Workshop on Statistical Relational AI at the 25th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) in New York City, on July 9th-11th 2016.
