The 20th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME 2022)

Dear users of the Linked Open Data mailing list,

I would like to draw your attention to the AIME 2022 conference, which targets AI-related work applied to healthcare – this includes work that utilizes Linked Open Data. See below for the call:

===================================================================================
The 20th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME 2022)

June 14-17 2022, Halifax NS, Canada

URL: https://aime22.aimedicine.info/

===================================================================================


The AIME 2022 conference (https://aime22.aimedicine.info) invites all interested researchers to submit original contributions regarding the development of theory, methods, systems, and applications of Artificial Intelligence in biomedicine, including the application of AI approaches in biomedical informatics, healthcare organisation and molecular medicine. The AIME 2022 conference will be hosted **in person** by Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada from June 14-17 2022.

AIME 2022 will include invited speakers, long and short presentations, poster sessions, demos, tutorials, workshops and a doctoral consortium.

We kindly invite interested parties to submit a workshop or tutorial proposal (https://aime20.aimedicine.info/index.php/tutorials-and-workshops). Furthermore, there will be opportunities for presenting software demos (http://aime22.aimedicine.info/index.php/call-for-submissions/demos).

== Scope ===

Contributions to theory and methods should present or analyze novel AI theories or methodologies for solving problems in the biomedical field. They may propose new theories and methods or extensions of existing ones. In both cases, the work should demonstrate its utility for solving biomedical problems and highlight its contribution to the underlying theoretical basis. In addition, it should discuss assumptions, limitations and novelty with respect to the state of the art.

Contributions addressing systems and applications should describe the development, implementation or evaluation of innovative, AI-based tools and systems in the biomedical application domain. These papers should both link the work to underlying theory, and either analyze the potential benefits to solve biomedical problems or present empirical evidence of benefits in clinical practice.

The scope of the conference includes the following areas:

    Machine learning and big data analytics,
    Knowledge discovery and data mining,
    Biomedical ontologies and terminologies,
    Biomedical knowledge acquisition and representation,
    Knowledge-based reasoning in biomedicine,
    Natural language processing,
    Biomedical image processing,
    Document classification and information retrieval,
    Bayesian networks, fuzzy logic and reasoning under uncertainty,
    Temporal and spatial representation and reasoning,
    Healthcare processes and workflow management,
    Computerized clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and protocols,
    Signal processing,
    Visual analytics in biomedicine,
    Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs),
    Patient engagement support (personal healthcare record),
    Explainable AI (XAI) for health,
    Precision medicine and health,
    AI solutions for ambient assisted living, telemedicine, and e-health.


=== Clinical Relevance ===

Since the healthcare domain is motivated by value creation for the patient, provider, and institution, this year a special focus will be given to demonstrating clinical relevance. Please write a subsection in the evaluation section that describes the value created by your submitted work.

=== Submission ===

We refer to the call page (http://aime22.aimedicine.info/index.php/call-for-submissions) for more information on paper submission.

Authors of the best submissions will be invited to expand and refine their papers for possible publication in the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine journal (Elsevier).
