📢 Call for Contributions

This joint workshop brings together researchers and practitioners working on the intersections of language models, knowledge representation, reasoning, ethics, and statistics. We encourage submissions that discuss novel techniques, approaches, and innovative ideas related to these topics.

Workshop Scope

This workshop merges three previously separate workshops:

  • NeLaMKRR: Next-Generation Language Models for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
  • ReLLM: Reasoning and Ethics in Large Language Models
  • SKILL: Statistics and Knowledge Integration for Logic and Learning

Topics of Interest

  • Language models’ reasoning abilities
  • KR-style reasoning in LLMs
  • Ethical deployment and bias mitigation
  • Integration of symbolic and statistical methods
  • Neurosymbolic approaches
  • Domain-specific applications (medicine, law, science)
  • Chain of thought and prompting studies
  • Evaluation of reasoning accuracy

Submission Details

Submissions can be:

  • Long papers: up to 12 pages, excluding references and appendices
  • Short/position papers: up to 6 pages, excluding references and appendices
  • Extended abstracts: up to 2 pages, excluding references and appendices. They can be used to present works already published or accepted for publication in other venues.

Papers must be submitted to one of the following tracks:

  • NeLaMKRR, dedicated to representation and reasoning with large language models
  • ReLLM, dedicated to ethical aspects of large language models
  • SKILL, dedicated to the integration of statistical learning and symbolic reasoning in neuro-symbolic systems

The review process is double-blind. Authors are responsible for anonymising their submission. In particular, author names or affiliations must be removed as well as any other identifying information. Acknowledgements of funding or assistance should also be omitted at the submission stage. All identifying information can be added to the final camera-ready version of accepted papers. The authors should also remove identifying information from the PDF metadata. Submissions that violate anonymity will be rejected without further review.

Camera-ready Submission

Accepted papers will be published in a CEUR workshop proceedings volume. To prepare your camera ready version, you should:

  1. Format the paper according to CEUR-ART style for typesetting papers: chose the ONE COLUMN style, the page limit is 12 pages, plus references

Overleaf users can clone the style from https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-workshop-proceedings-ceur-ws-dot-org/wqyfdgftmcfw Offline versions for LaTeX and DOCX are available from https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip

  1. Leave the default copyright information, by supplying the \copyrightyear and \copyrightclause commands of LaTeX:

\copyrightyear{2026} \copyrightclause{Copyright for this paper by its authors. Use permitted under Creative Commons License Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).}

  1. Include the following conference information in a footnote on the title page of the camera-ready version of your paper, by supplying the conference note in the \conference command of LaTeX:

\conference{Joint Workshop on Statistics and Knowledge Integration for Logic, Learning, Ethical Decisions, and LLMs (SKILLED-LLMs 2026), co-located with FLoC 2026, Lisbon, Portugal}

  1. Prepare a signed and scanned copyright form, where either of these two variants applies:

In either variant of the copyright form, please include the following general information:

  • Name and year of the event: Joint Workshop on Statistics and Knowledge Integration for Logic, Learning, Ethical Decisions, and LLMs (SKILLED-LLMs 2026)
  • Editors of the proceedings (editors): see here DO NOT sign the form digitally (e.g. through Adobe Reader) BUT print, sign, and scan then form INSTEAD
  1. Prepare a zip archive containing:
  • the LaTeX source(s) required to produce your paper: the archive should contain all non-standard or locally used LaTeX packages, images, etc. The main LaTeX file must be in the top directory of the archive. Other files may be put in either the top directory or subdirectories of the archive;
  • the final PDF of your paper;
  • the copyright form.
  1. Please upload your updated paper to the Drive folder linked below, placing it in a sub-folder named ‘paperX’, where X should be replaced with your paper number. If such a sub-folder does not yet exist, kindly create one using the paper number assigned to your submission.

SKILLED-LLMs CR folder

The folder is password protected. You should have received the password via email in the camera-ready instructions. If you have not received the password, please contact the workshop organizers.
