The Know-Center, represented by Eduardo Veas and Cecilia di Sciascio as the authors of two papers accepted to the conference, will contribute to IJCAI.

The International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) is the main international gathering of researchers in AI worldwide.

It has been held biennially in odd-numbered years since 1969, with the major objective being the dissemination of information and cutting-edge research on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This year it will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from July 25th to July 31st, 2015.

The Know-Center, represented by Eduardo Veas and Cecilia di Sciascio as the authors of two papers accepted to the conference, will contribute by presenting two papers at the following workshops:

  • 2nd Workshop on Cognitive Computing and Applications for Augmented Human Intelligence.

The Know-Center paper titled “Interactive Topic Analysis with Visual Analytics and Recommender Systems”  describes  an approach to interactive topic analysis, as an information discovery conversation with a recommender system. A model is described supporting this approach, furthermore an evaluation comparing interactive topic analysis with state-of-the-art topic analysis methods is presented and discussed.

  • Workshop on Intelligent Personalization (IP’2015)

Here, Know-Center will present a paper titled “Interactive Preference Elicitation for Scientific and Cultural Recommendations” which is about a visual interface developed on the basis of control and transparency to elicit preferences in the scientific and cultural domain.  Within the paper, a collection of items is ranked with a controllable text analytics model using it as implicit preference for content based recommendations by integrating user feedback.
