Inference series, held every two years.

The conference will be held at Delft University of Technology; in Delft, the
Netherlands, from October 5-7, 2016. Delft is one of the most beautiful and
historic cities in the world, situated in the central (western) part of the

Camera-ready copy: August 28, 2016.
Conference: October 5-7, 2016.

Areas of Interest:

The conference is on grammatical inference. The conference seeks to provide a
forum for presentation and discussion of original research papers on all
aspects of grammatical inference including, but not limited to:
- Theoretical aspects of grammatical inference
- Theoretical and experimental analysis of different grammatical inference
approaches
- Algorithms and frameworks for learning models representing language classes
inside and outside the Chomsky hierarchy
- Learning models with additional, sometimes numeric, inputs/outputs
- Active learning of these and other languages
- Methods for estimating probability distributions over strings, trees,
graphs, or any data used as input for symbolic models
- Combinations of grammatical inference with related fields
- Novel approaches to grammatical inference
- Successful applications of grammatical inference to tasks

Author Guidelines:

We invite three types of papers:
- Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical,
methodological or conceptual) in the field of grammatical inference.
- Exploratory papers can describe completely new research positions or
approaches.
- Tool papers describing a new tool for grammatical inference.
There are no restrictions on the domain of application as long as the paper
provides sufficient background information.

Conference Format:

The conference will include plenary and invited talks, tool demonstrations,
and poster presentations of accepted papers.

Submission of Papers:

Prospective authors are invited to submit a draft paper that represents
original and previously unpublished work. Simultaneous submission to other
conferences with published proceedings is not allowed.

All papers should be submitted electronically by May 29, 2016 AOE; the
submission URL is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icgi2016.

Each paper should contain title, authors and affiliation, mailing address, a
brief abstract describing the work and at least three keywords that describe
the contents of the work.

Papers must be submitted in pdf format. The total length of the paper should
not exceed 12 pages on A4-size paper. The use of LaTeX is strongly encouraged.
Prospective authors are strongly recommended to use the JMLR style file for
LaTeX available here:
http://www.jmlr.org/format/format.html.

We are looking forward to your submissions.
