29th AIAI Irish Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science (AICS 2021)
December 9-10th 2020 University College Dublin (UCD) https://aics2021.ucd.ie/ =============== The 29th Irish Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science (AICS2021) will be hosted by the School of Computer Science of the University College Dublin (UCD). This year it will take place online from 9-10th December 2021. *** This year, we will also invite selected papers to be extended and submitted to a special issue in The Wiley Journal Expert Systems: The Journal of Knowledge Engineering. *** With regular conferences dating back to 1988, the AICS Conference is Ireland’s primary forum for researchers with interests in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. While once a niche area, the fields of Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, which encompass Data Analytics, Information Retrieval, and Machine Learning, are now at the forefront of Irish computing research and industry. =============== [Submissions] The Program Committee of AICS2021 invites submissions in the broad areas of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to: * Machine Learning: Supervised Learning, Ensemble methods, Meta Learning, Reinforcement Learning, etc. * Cognitive Science: Decision Making, Perception, Concept, Combination, Creative Cognition, etc. * Deep Learning: Network Architectures, Deep Generative Modelling, Graph Neural Networks, etc. * Applications: Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Speech Processing, Recommender Systems, etc. * AI Ethics: Fairness, Interpretability, Transparency, Explainability, Moral Judgement, etc. * Learning Theory: Optimisation, Bayesian Methods, Game Theory, Complexity Analysis, etc. * Semantic Web: Knowledge Graphs, Social Network Analysis, etc. We also seek papers which report on in-use experiences (design, engineering, deployment, utility, and challenges) of AI-based systems. Application-centric papers in related domains such as opinion mining, adaptive information systems, robotics, chatbots, game-playing, visual analytics, intelligent infrastructures, digital twins, and smart environments are welcome. We invite three types of submissions. All accepted submissions will appear in online proceedings published at www.ceur-ws.org. + Full Paper Track: Full paper submissions should consist of original contributions (describing either fundamental basic research, interesting applications, in-use experiences, or reviews of the field) not published in other forums. Papers should be of 6 to 12 pages in length in the Springer LNCS style. Accepted submissions will appear in online proceedings and authors will be invited for oral or poster presentation. + Student Track: This track is designed to facilitate students who have recently completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s programme with a dissertation component. Student track submissions should consist of original contributions (describing either basic research or interesting applications) and the first author must be the student upon whose dissertation the paper is based. Papers should be of 6 to 12 pages in length in the Springer LNCS style. Accepted submissions will appear in the online proceedings and authors will be invited for a poster presentation. + NECTAR Track: NECTAR track submissions should describe significant results previously published or disseminated no earlier than 2016 at a prestigious international conference or journal. Accepted submissions will be included in online proceedings as a single page abstract, and authors will be invited to present their work orally at AICS. All accepted submissions in Full Paper Track and Student Paper Track will appear in online proceedings published at www.ceur-ws.org. =============== [Publication and Instructions for Authors] All accepted submissions will be presented at the conference, either orally or as posters, and included in the online conference proceedings. At least one author of each submission will be required to register for, and attend, the conference. All submissions must be made via the EasyChair system online, available https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aics2021 . Full papers and student papers must be submitted in Springer LNCS format (single column proceedings) (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors), which is also the format required for the final camera-ready copy. A sample LaTeX document in this format is available here (https://aics2020.ucd.ie/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/aics-latex-sample.zip). All accepted submissions in Full Paper Track and Student Paper Track will appear in online proceedings published at www.ceur-ws.org. =============== [Journal Special Issue] Authors of a selection of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a dedicated special issue of The Wiley Journal Expert Systems: The Journal of Knowledge Engineering (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14680394). Dates and deadlines to be announced. =============== [Important Dates (extended)] Note that there will be no further extensions of the deadlines below. ** Paper Submission Deadline for all Tracks - 15st October 2021, 23:59 Irish time ** Acceptance Notification for all Papers - 12th November 2021 ** Camera Ready Submissions (all tracks) - 26th November 2021 =============== [Organisation] Arjun Pakrashi (University College Dublin) arjun.pakrashi@ucd.ie Ellen Rushe (University College Dublin) ellen.rushe@ucd.ie Mehran Hossein Zadeh Bazargani (University College Dublin) mehran.hosseinzadehbazargani@ucdconnect.ie Brian Mac Namee (University College Dublin) brian.macnamee.ucd.ie =============== [Contacts] Twitter: @AICSconference Website: https://aics2021.ucd.ie |
