Aim & Scope
The past year has thrust AI into the public eye. Without a
doubt, the top AI headline was IBM¡¦s Watson, a question answering system
which bested two top human champions on the TV game show Jeopardy! Watson
is indeed a stunning achievement, proving that state-of-the art AI techniques
can handle complex natural language with surprising ease, yet it represents
just one subfield of the diversely branched world of AI research. Another
recent headline grabber was Google¡¦s driverless car, whose AI brain pilots
the vehicle by analyzing a combination of Street-View data and remote-sensing
input. Cars equipped with the system have driven over 1,600 km without human
intervention. These stories represent just the most prominent headlines.
Advances continue in all subfields of AI and are increasingly finding application
in our day to day life, thanks, in part, to the growing ubiquity of smartphones
and other powerful mobile computers. Major players in the mobile communication
industry are integrating speech recognition and machine vision into more
devices and applications. In the subfield of data mining, AI is now being
used to mine and analyze ever growing online social networks, generating insights
into social relationships, behavior, and emerging trends. And the list goes
on. This special issue aims to provide an international forum for exchange
of ideas related to AI theory, application, and resources. The major topics
of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Topics
Autonomous Agents
Computer Games
Data Mining
Intelligent E-Learning
Logics in AI
Knowledge-Based Systems
Mobile Intelligence
Machine Learning
Natural Language Processing
Probabilistic and Uncertain Reasoning
Planning
Robotics
Semantic Web
Social Computing
Speech/Music Recognition and Synthesis
This special issue is meant primarily to contain papers presented
at the 2011 Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence (TAAI),
an international conference to be held 11-13 November 2011, in Chung-Li,
Taiwan. Nevertheless the special issue is also open to submission of papers
from other authors.
Submission Guidelines
In order to solicit papers, we will invite selected papers from TAAI
2011 (at least, be more than 30%~ qualitative updated relative to the conference
published proceedings). We will also invite prominent researchers who
have previously written high quality articles that fit to our special
issue to contribute their work. In addition to inviting high quality papers,
we will recruit highly qualified reviewers to provide high quality reviews
and feedback comments as well. Electronic paper submissions are sent to
taai2011.yzu@gmail.com. A
template of submitted paper can be found at
