ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The conference is intended for computer scientists and practitioners whose research interests are related to data science. The previous conferences in 2012-2016 attracted a significant number of students, researchers, academics and engineers working on analysis of images, texts, and social networks. The broad scope of AIST makes it an event where researchers from different domains, such as image and text processing, exploiting various data analysis techniques, can meet and exchange ideas. The conference allows specialists from different fields to meet each other, present their work, and discuss both theoretical and practical aspects of their data analysis problems. Another important aim of the conference is to stimulate scientists and people from the industry to benefit from the knowledge exchange and identify possible grounds for fruitful collaboration.

TOPICS

The scope of the conference includes the following topics:

- Social Network Analysis
- Natural Language Processing
- Recommender systems and collaborative technologies
- 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
