Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with computing technologies that allow machines to see, hear, talk, think, learn, and solve problems even above the level of human beings. On the one hand it allows business decisions to be driven by real-time models that enable unprecedented levels of accuracy and efficiency. On the other hand it enables general and professional problem solving and knowledge discovery that cannot be easily done by humans. In addition, business-business, business-customer, and customer-customer may be interconnected in a revolutionary way to support new business models with elevated customer experiences.

​Artificial Intelligence for Industries 2019 (ai4i 2019), technically sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, is an international forum focusing on incorporating artificial intelligence into business products and services that may be brought to the market in the near future. An important mission of ai4i is to bridge problems and solutions in every industry segment. With such the conference invites academic researchers and industry practitioners to submit a 4-page (regular), 2-page (short), and 1-page (position) paper that addresses a specific problem, solution, or both. The conference also invites business practitioners to integrate problems and solutions into useful products and services.

​Another major function of ai4i is education. The ai4i conference provides tutorials to prepare and engage professionals of all industries. Yet another major function of ai4i is to establish a community to connect problems, solutions, and people that together can facilitate the transition of the world into a new era.

The conference addresses two dimensions, technology and industry, so that technologies can be mapped to applications in vertical as well as general industrial segments. The technology dimension includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Semantic and cognitive aspects in different industries
Innovative operations using artificial intelligence
Immersive environments
Multimodal interactions
Human/agent interactions
Domain specific problem solving
Machine and deep learning
Modelling of behaviour and activity generation
Big data and analytics
Dialogue modeling and generation
System components of intelligent platforms for industries
Robotic intelligence

​The application dimension consists of specific industries such as finance, service, trade, healthcare, education, entertainment, arts and humanities, media, manufacturing, transportation, construction, agriculture, etc.

The conference proceedings will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore® and/or IEEE Computer Society Press digital library. Distinguished quality papers presented at the conference will be selected for the best paper/poster awards and for publication in internationally renowned journals (SCI, EI, and/or Scoups indexed).
