AAAI-MAKE 2021 brings together practitioners and researchers from various companies, research centers, and academia of machine learning and knowledge engineering working together on joint AI that is being explainable and grounded in domain knowledge.

Topics

• Enterprise AI
• Machine Learning
• Knowledge Engineering and Management
• Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
• Hybrid AI
• Explainable AI
• Conversational AI
• Deep Learning and Neural Networks
• Rule-based Systems
• Recommender Systems
• Scene Interpretation Systems
• Ontologies and Semantic Web
• Data Science

Use cases, application scenarios, and requirements from the industry would be highly beneficial and most welcome. Since AAAI-MAKE is a dedicated symposium on the combination of machine learning and knowledge engineering, the contributions shall address both AI domains. For more details, see the following webpage: https://www.aaai-make.info.

Submission

We solicit papers that can include recent or ongoing research, business cases, application scenarios, and surveys. Furthermore, proposals for industrial side-tutorial events, demonstrations, and (panel) discussions are very welcome too.

• Position/full papers (5 to 12 pages) and short papers (2 to 4 pages) will be peer-reviewed by the program committee to ensure academic integrity.
• Industrial side-tutorial event or demonstration proposals (1 to 2 pages) should have a focus on business or research related to the symposium topics excluding undesired extensive product advertising.
• Discussion proposals (1 to 2 pages) should contain a description of the specific topic.

Please submit through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sss21).

All submissions must reflect the formatting instructions provided in the Author Kit (https://www.aaai-make.info/authors) and be submitted through EasyChair. Accepted and camera-ready papers shall be published on the established open-access proceedings site CEUR-WS.
