  • Machine learning
  • Preference
  • Uncertain inference
  • History of these topics with a clear relevance for ongoing work

Progic 2021 is particularly interested in inductive logic and entropy with respect to foundations, applications and theory.

Submissions consist of an extended abstract (ca. 1000 words, pdf format) uploaded at easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=progic2021. The submissions page will also ask for a short abstract and keywords to sort submissions for review.
