AIML: The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Advances in AI and Machine Learning: Research & Practice

Call for Papers

After decades of generous promises and several frustrating disappointments, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is finally starting to deliver real benefits, and early adopters in business and industry are embracing its promise reaping benefits. We’re now witnessing rapid advances in AI and ML – in research, development, application and commercialization. To lay better foundation for the future – to make the connected, smartening world more smarter and to embrace AI for good for benefit of society, advances in AI and ML, their new innovative applications, and challenges and lessons learned need to be shared and discussed.

This workshop will facilitate much needed interaction and information exchange among AI researchers, practitioners and business executives. It will provide an interactive forum for discussion on recent and ongoing developments, key issues and challenges, and practices related to AI applications. It will also provide a platform to demonstrate applications and software tools, and present case studies and application experience. Researchers and practitioners from all over the world, from academia, industry, and government are invited to present their work and perspectives and participate in the workshop.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Advances in AI and machine learning, deep learning, cognitive computing, intelligent agent, chatbot
• AI strategy for business and industry
• AI applications in industry, business, healthcare, and education and training
• AI in legal practice
