Workshops

The third JSAI International Symposia on AI (JSAI-isAI) will take place in Takamatsu on December 1st (Thursday) and 2nd (Friday), 2011. JSAI-isAI is an event that hosts several international workshops at the same location. This is in succession to the international workshops co-located with JSAI annual conferences since 2001. The JSAI-isAI 2011 committee has selected the following five outstanding workshops. For those who are interested in participating and attending one of those workshops, please visit the web page of each workshop and contact the organizer(s). We are looking forward to meeting you all at JSAI-isAI 2011.

Workshop 1
8th International Workshop on Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics (LENLS 8)
Workshop 2
Curation and Communication
Workshop 3
Fifth International Workshop on Juris-informatics (JURISIN 2011)
Workshop 4
Second International Workshop on Algorithms for Large-Scale Information Processing in Knowledge Discovery (ALSIP 2011)
Workshop 5
Coordination of multimodality in multispace interaction (MiMI)

Workshop 1: 8th International Workshop on Logic and Engineering of Natural Language Semantics (LENLS 8)

LENLS is an annual international workshop focusing on formal semantics and pragmatics. We invite submissions to this year's workshop on topics in formal semantics and pragmatics, and related fields, including but in no way limited to the following:

Workshop 2:Curation and Communication

This workshop aims to discuss an effective strategy for curation and communication. Traditionally, curation is not only concerned with long-term care of books, paintings or other artefacts. However, we propse a new type of curation as is in recent curational fashion. That is, we add a more active action to chance discovery, which curators usually struggle to explicitly or implicitly express extended or hidden meanings (values) to potential audiences. In additon, by curation we will focus active communication in which users can discover novel or rare events or matters which may have a significant impact on human decision making. Such communication might be achieved in advertisement communication, but for chance discovery we can add more active but implicit communication strategy.

Workshop 3:Fifth International Workshop on Juris-informatics (JURISIN 2011)

Aims and scope: Juris-informatics is a new research area which studies legal issues from the perspective of informatics. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss both the fundamental and practical issues for juris-informatics among people from the various backgrounds such as law, social science, information and intelligent technology, logic and philosophy, including the conventional "AI and law" area. Topics: Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Workshop 4:Second International Workshop on Algorithms for Large-Scale Information Processing in Knowledge Discovery (ALSIP 2011)

Information created by people has increased rapidly in these score of years and now we are facing the information-explosion era. To cope with such a large-scale information space, novel algorithms and data structures are desired for solving various problems in the area of knowledge discovery. This workshop aims to exchange fresh ideas on large-scale data processing in the problems such as data mining, clustering, machine learning, statistical analysis, and other computational aspect of knowledge discovery problems.

Workshop 5: International Workshop on Multimodality in Multispace Interaction (MiMI)

In the last couple of decades, there has been a growing interest in complex ways in which multimodality including vocal, visual, aural, and gestural apparatus of speaking is played out in seemingly simple activities such as an everyday conversation between two people. In this workshop, we discuss how multispace is managed in socially, temporally, and sequentially complex environments. Our foci on multispace include, but are not limited to computer-mediated interactions, media-mediated interaction, longitudinally established interactional spaces, and multiple cognitive images within a speakerfs viewpoints for producing language and gesture. We hope that the reconsideration of theoretical frameworks discussed in our workshop contributes to recent interdisciplinary attentions to, among other things, human communication in artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, humanoid robotics, human-agent interaction with distance.
