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

In a world in which ever more information systems drawing upon machine learning 
techniques and optimization algorithms become part of everyday life, machine 
learning contributes to interaction design and execution, often by focusing on 
specific user behaviors; the aim is to create new systems based on Artificial 
Intelligence: the AI-s. With respect to users that already have a clear 
understanding of the functionality and the outputs of traditional systems, a 
user, interacting with an AI-s, could be different expectations of what the 
system actually offers. AI-s usually have dynamic behaviors, which often 
confound users until users prefer to substitute the system or in some cases to 
refuse them. AI-s often has a tendency to sudden changes of attitude or 
behavior: they vary in capabilities and interaction paradigms, impacting user 
engagement and usability. It is not difficult finding examples of AI-s failures 
that damage users, ranging from "soft" (e.g., autocompletion errors) to "hard" 
situations in which users cannot effectively understand or control an AI-s 
(e.g., collaboration with semi-autonomous cars). Successful AI-s strengthen the 
tie to Human Computer Interaction (HCI) by creating a demand for new and better 
interaction. Usable AI-s might be realized by teams composed of HCI researchers 
employing AI techniques as well as AI researchers applying HCI methodologies, 
and not only! Despite the acknowledgment of equal importance of the usage of AI 
techniques and HCI methodologies, their balance in the realization of AI-s is 
more ideal than practice, since traditionally both AI techniques and HCI 
methodologies have been addressed by two distinct communities – Human-Computer 
Interaction and Artificial intelligence – using different processes, methods, 
and tools. Also, in recent years we have witnessed the emergence of new 
research topics in the borders between HCI and AI, such as Human-Based 
Computation (HBC) and Augmented Intelligence, i.e., problems in which humans 
and machines work together towards solving a common goal, either where the 
machine is assisted by humans (HBC) or the humans are assisted by the machines 
(Augmented Intelligence). Also, the intersection of HCI and AI is an emerging 
field of research, devoted mostly to Intelligent User Interfaces, i.e., 
interfaces developed using the approaches from HCI and the tools from AI, most 
notably Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. This track aims to 
bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars 
to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of 
the usage of HCI and AI within the realization of AI-s, as well as experiences 
in related field in between, such as HBC or Augmented Intelligence. It also 
provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and 
educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and 
concerns as well as practical challenges encountered within the realization of 
AI-s, in order to identify shared purposes and improving a mutual understanding 
for the next generation of researchers and system builders in the growing field 
of HCI&AI.

================================================
Submission guidelines
================================================
Submissions will be evaluated through a double-blind peer-review process. Track 
chairs will select reviewers and ensure the anonymity of the review process.
Authors are encouraged to seek guidance from Track Chairs prior submitting the 
paper. We encourage authors to submit an abstract (no more than 2000 words, 
providing information about the research aim, the theoretical framework and/or 
theories applied, the research methods, and the main/expected findings with 
potential implications, including a few references) to receive feedbacks by the 
Track Chairs before full paper submission.
The page limit for a full paper (where the abstract in this case needs to 
include no more than 250 words) is equal to 12 pages (excluding references)
