AIM AND SCOPE

AIST is a scientific conference on Analysis of Images, Social Networks, and Texts. The conference is intended for computer scientists and practitioners whose research interests involve Internet mathematics and other related fields of data science. Similar to the previous year, the conference will be focused on applications of data mining and machine learning techniques to various problem domains: image processing, analysis of social networks, and natural language processing. We hope that the participants will benefit from the interdisciplinary nature of the conference and exchange experience.

Publication of revised selected papers is performed as a post-proceedings in the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

If you did not participate before in the AIST conference you can take a look at the proceedings of the last three years to get an idea about which kind of papers are accepted and which kinds of topics are discussed at the conference:

Note that the proceedings of this year are published in the LNCS series, not the CCIS series as before.

PAPER TOPICS

The scope of the conference includes but not limited to the following topics: 

  • Social Network Analysis
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Recommender systems and collaborative technologies
  • Process mining
  • Analytics for geoinformation systems
  • Analysis of images and video
  • Discovering and analyzing processes using event data
  • Game analytics
  • Core Data Mining and Machine Learning techniques
  • Semantic Web and Ontologies
  • Educational Data Mining
  • ML & DM for Economics and Social Sciences

This year, we also have a separate track on analysis of dynamic behavior through event data. An analysis of big data, containing dynamic processes of systems’ executions and collaborations in a form of event logs, is a challenging research direction also known as process mining or business process intelligence. Techniques for constructing process models from event logs, finding log and model deviations, and enhancing pre-existing process models with additional information extracted from logs can significantly assist in understanding systems’ behavior. Papers presenting original process mining approaches as well as case studies in discovering and analyzing processes using event data are sought. The scope of the section includes but not limited to the following topics:

  • Algorithms and approaches for the discovery of process models from event logs;
  • Techniques for the discovery of social nets from communication logs;
  • Representation and visualization of models discovered from event logs;
  • Methods for finding deviations between real and expected system’s behavior;
  • Complex event processing to assist process intelligence;
  • Compliance management and conformance checking;
  • Applying process mining techniques in various domains, such as e-government, healthcare, banking, manufacturing, booking systems and others.
