PAIR 2021 Call for Papers AAAI-21 Workshop on Plan Activity and Intent Recognition (PAIR 2021) held at the Thirty-Fifth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
February 8 or 9, Virtual Conference Website: http://www.planrec.org/PAIR/Resources.html --------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions due: November 9, 2020 CFP website (EasyChair): https://easychair.org/cfp/PAIR2021 Submission website (EasyChair): https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=pair21 Notification: November 30, 2020 Plan recognition, activity recognition, and intent recognition all involve making inferences about other actors from observations of their behavior, i.e., their interaction with the environment and with each other. The observed actors may be software agents, robots, or humans. This synergistic area of research combines and unifies techniques from user modeling, machine vision, intelligent user interfaces, human/computer interaction, autonomous and multi-agent systems, natural language understanding, and machine learning. It plays a crucial role in a wide variety of applications including: -Assistive technology -Software assistants -Computer and network security -Behavior recognition -Coordination in robots and software agents -E-commerce and collaborative filtering This wide-spread diversity of applications and disciplines, while producing a wealth of ideas and results, has contributed to fragmentation in the field, as researchers publish relevant results in a wide spectrum of journals and conferences. As there is no commonly accepted conference for this work, the workshop we propose will provide a valuable place to discuss, standardize and improve past work of this sub-field. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds, to share ideas and recent results. It will aim to identify important research directions, opportunities for synthesis and unification of representations and algorithms for recognition. Contributions of research results are sought in the following areas of: -Plan, activity, intent, or behavior recognition -Adversarial planning, opponent modeling -Modeling multiple agents, modeling teams -User modeling on the web and in intelligent user interfaces -Acquaintance models -Plan recognition and user modeling in marketplaces and e-commerce -Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) -Machine learning for plan recognition and user modeling -Personal software assistants -Social network learning and analysis -Monitoring agent conversations (overhearing) -Observation-based coordination and collaboration (teamwork) -Multi-agent plan recognition -Observation-based failure detection -Monitoring multi-agent interactions -Uncertainty reasoning for plan recognition -Commercial applications of user modeling and plan recognition -Representations for agent modeling -Modeling social interactions -Inferring emotional states -Reverse engineering and program recognition -Programming by demonstration -Imitation Due to the diversity of disciplines engaging in this area, related contributions in other fields, are also welcome. Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All submissions must be original. If a work is under submission to the main conference or to a different conference, it should be clearly mentioned in the submitted file. Papers must be in trouble-free, high-resolution PDF format, formatted for US Letter (8.5" x 11") paper, using Type 1 or TrueType fonts. Submissions are anonymous, and must conform to the AAAI-21 instructions for double-blind review. Full Papers: ------------ We accept full paper submissions. Papers must be formatted in AAAI two-column, camera-ready style; see the 2021 author kit for details: http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit21.zip Submissions may have up to 9 pages with pages 8 and 9 containing nothing but references. Demo Track: ----------- This year the PAIR workshop will include an online demo track. Authors are required to submit two items: (1) a 2-page short paper describing their system, formatted in AAAI two-column style, and (2) a video (of duration up to 10 minutes) of the proposed demonstration. Slides are also permitted in lieu of video, but greater weight will be given to submissions accompanied by videos. The paper must present the technical details of the demonstration, discuss related work, and describe the significance of the demonstration. We welcome submission of demos submitted to the demo session of the main conference. Please upload the video and share the link to its location in the paper you are submitting. The demo track will be chaired by Ramon Fraga Pereira and Christabel Wayllace. Questions regarding demos should be referred to [email protected] or [email protected].
