Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence

The proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) provides an archival record of the annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, which serves as AAAI's primary conference. The meeting provides a forum that promotes theoretical and applied AI research as well as intellectual interchange among researchers and practitioners. The technical papers in the proceedings are selected through a rigorous, blind, peer-review process.

Proceedings of the AAAI Symposium Series

The AAAI Symposium Series, previously published as AAAI Technical Reports, are held three times a year (Spring, Summer, Fall) and are designed to bring colleagues together to share ideas and learn from each other’s artificial intelligence research. The series affords participants a smaller, more intimate setting where they can share ideas and learn from each other’s artificial intelligence research. Topics for the symposia change each year, and the limited seating capacity and relaxed atmosphere allow for workshop-like interaction. The format of the series allows participants to devote considerably more time to feedback and discussion than typical one-day workshops. It is an ideal venue for bringing together new communities in emerging fields.

The AAAI Spring Symposium Series is typically held during spring break (generally in March) on the west coast. The AAAI Summer Symposium Series is the newest in the annual set of meetings run in parallel at a common site. The inaugural 2023 Summer Symposium Series was held July 17-19, 2023, in Singapore. The AAAI Fall Symposium series is usually held on the east coast during late October or early November.

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment

The AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE) is intended to be the definitive point of interaction between entertainment software developers interested in AI and academic and industrial AI researchers. Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), the conference proceedings reflects the work of both the research and commercial communities, and promotes AI research and practice in the context of interactive digital entertainment systems with an emphasis on commercial computer and video games.

Proceedings of the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society

AIES is convened each year by program co-chairs from Computer Science, Law and Policy, the Social Sciences, Ethics and Philosophy. Our goal is to encourage talented scholars in these and related fields to submit their best work related to morality, law, policy, psychology, the other social sciences, and AI. Papers are tailored for a multi-disciplinary audience without sacrificing excellence. In addition to
the community of scholars who have participated in these discussions from the outset, we want to explicitly welcome disciplinary experts who are newer to this topic, and see ways to break new ground in their own fields by thinking about AI. Recognizing that a multiplicity of perspectives leads to stronger science, the conference organizers actively welcome and encourage people with differing identities, expertise, backgrounds, beliefs, or experiences to participate.

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing

The Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP) disseminates the latest research findings on human computation and crowdsourcing. While artificial intelligence (AI) and human-computer interaction (HCI) represent traditional mainstays, the papers in the HCOMP proceedings reflect the AAAI conference's broad, interdisciplinary research. The field is particularly unique in the diversity of disciplines it draws upon and contributes to, ranging from human-centered qualitative studies and HCI design, to computer science and artificial intelligence, to economics and the social sciences, all the way to digital humanities, policy, and ethics. The papers in the proceedings represent the exchange of advances in human computation and crowdsourcing not only among researchers, but also engineers and practitioners, thus encouraging dialogue across disciplines and communities of practice.

Proceedings of the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling

The annual ICAPS conference series was formed in 2003 through the merger of two preexisting biennial conferences, the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Planning and Scheduling (AIPS) and the European Conference on Planning (ECP). ICAPS continues the traditional high standards of AIPS and ECP as an archival forum for new research in the field of automated planning and scheduling. The Proceedings of the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling contains the annual, archival published work of the ICAPS conference.

Proceedings of the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media

The proceedings of the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM) provides an archival record of the ICWSM conference — a forum where researchers from multiple disciplines to come together to share knowledge, discuss ideas, exchange information, and learn about cutting-edge research in diverse fields with the common theme of online social media. This overall theme includes research in new perspectives in social theories, as well as computational algorithms for analyzing social media. ICWSM is a singularly fitting venue for research that blends social science and computational approaches to answer important and challenging questions about human social behavior through social media while advancing computational tools for vast and unstructured data.

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Combinatorial Search

Heuristic search and combinatorial optimization are currently very active areas of research. For example, researchers investigate how to search in real-time, how to search with limited (possibly external) memory, how to solve sequences of similar search problems faster than with isolated searches, how to improve the runtime of the searches over time, how to trade-off between the runtime and memory consumption of the search and the resulting solution quality, and how to focus the searches with sophisticated heuristics such as pattern databases. Their results are published in different conferences such as IJCAI, AAAI, ICAPS, NIPS, ICRA, and IROS. The International Symposium on Combinatorial Search (SoCS) is meant to bring these researchers together to exchange their ideas and cross-fertilize the field. Thus, in addition to seeking separate answers to questions like how to design more accurate memory-based heuristics, more I/O-efficient disk-based search algorithms, or more efficient clause-learning strategies, the symposium will stimulate thoughts on combining various techniques originated from different areas of search.
