CALL FOR PAPERS: The Second Workshop on Analogical Abstraction in Cognition, Perception, and Language (Analogy-Angle II)

Our 2nd workshop on ANALOGY-ANGLE will take place at ACL 2025 (July 31st/August 1st 2025) in Vienna.
https://analogy-angle.github.io/

Analogy-Angle II is a multidisciplinary workshop to advance research on analogical abstraction by bridging the fields of computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, and cognitive psychology. This workshop seeks to foster collaboration among researchers by providing a platform for sharing novel insights, benchmarks, methodologies, and analogy applications across disciplines. Analogy-Angle II welcomes diverse contributions, including original research, reviews, and previously accepted papers from leading conferences. Analogy-Angle I was co-located with IJCAI 2024.
