Dear Members, The Japanese Society of Artificial Intelligence is opening its 33rd annual conference at Niigata, on 4th till 7th June, to the international society of AI. This conference has been a black box from the view of people outside of Japan because this was domestic. So far, only 4 percent were published in English, and they were presented in sessions where others mostly communicated in Japanese.
This was a loss of opportunity for researchers on AI outside of Japan, considering the scale and the content richness of JSAI --- we had 2500 participants in 2017, and exceeded 2600 in 2018. More importantly, this conference so far created a lot of activities such as projects to collect challenging topics toward realizing the near-future contribution to the society and businesses, organized sessions on proposed new frontiers of the basis and the applications of AI, and interactions of academia and business sections. >From JSAI2019, we open five sub-domains of AI to the international AI researchers, with including pure English sessions. Find the details at the CFP at http://www.ai-gakkai.or.jp/jsai2019/en . Please consider to submit, and also circulate this information to your colleagues. Selected excellent papers are planned to be published in post-proceedings from Springer Verlag, and some will be awarded. Sincerely, Yukio Ohsawa, Program Chair of JSAI2019 PhD, Professor, The University of Tokyo School of Engineering, Department of Systems Innovation 113-8656 Tokyo, Japan E-mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ uai mailing list [email protected] https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
