The 32nd Irish Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive
Science (AICS2024) will be hosted by the School of Computer Science at
University College Dublin (UCD) and will take place from 9th to 10th
December 2024.

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.

Submissions
-------------------
The Program Committee of AICS2024 invites submissions in the broad
areas of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. Areas of
interest include, but are not restricted to:

*Machine Learning (supervised/semi-supervised/unsupervised learning,
meta-learning, ensemble learning etc.)
*Cognitive Science (Decision making, perception, concept combination,
creative cognition etc.)
*Applications (Computer Vision, speech/audio processing, natural
language processing, ML for medicine, recommender systems etc. )
*Deep Learning (Network architectures, deep generative models, graph
neural networks, foundation models etc.)
*AI Ethics (Fairness, interpretability, transparency, explainability,
environmental impact of AI etc.)
*Datasets (Novel datasets, benchmarks, dataset audits, dataset design etc. )
*Machine Learning Testing (Safety, evaluation metrics,  robustness etc. )
*Learning Theory (Optimisation, Bayesian Methods, Game Theory,
Complexity Analysis etc. )
*Semantic Web (Knowledge Graphs, Social Network Analysis etc.)


We invite three types of submissions:
--------------------------------------
*Full Paper Track: Full paper submissions should consist of original
contributions (describing either fundamental research, interesting
applications, in-use experiences, or reviews of the field) not
published in other forums. Papers should be 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
presentations.

*Student Track: This track is designed to facilitate students who have
recently completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s program. Student track
submissions should consist of original contributions (describing
either basic research or interesting applications) and the first
author must be a student. Papers should be 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 2022 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 (TBA).

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 at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aics20240

Full papers and student papers must be submitted in Springer LNCS
format (single column proceedings), which is also the format required
for the final camera-ready copy. A sample LaTeX document in this
format is available here.

NECTAR track submissions should consist of a single page with an
abstract and reference to the original publication. A sample NECTAR
track submission is available here.
