日本データベース学会の皆様、 関西学院大学の土方です．IUI2018のGeneral chairを務めさせていただいております。 国際会議ACM IUI 2018 (Annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community ) の参加募集をお送りします．IUIは来年23回目を迎える人工知能とヒューマンインタフェース の境界領域の研究について議論するトップカンファレンスです．近年流行りの機械学習や 自然言語処理を応用したインタフェースだけでなく，心理学，行動科学，認知科学やデザイン， アートなどの観点から，人間とコンピュータのインタラクションを向上させるような研究も 発表されます． 今回，初めてIUIを日本開催で誘致することに成功しました．日本の得意な，センサーやデバイス， ロボットなどを用い，これまでにない知的なインタフェースやインタラクションデザインについて 議論できればと考えております．さらに同時期に開催される日本最大規模のユーザインタフェースに 関するシンポジウムである「インタラクション2018」ともインタラクティブセッションにおいて 連携いたします．これまでIUIに参加したことがない方も，ぜひご参加ください． 詳細はこちらをご覧下さい． http://iui.acm.org/2018/ なお，早期割り引きの締め切りが ＊＊＊ 2018年2月7日 ＊＊＊ となっております． また、情報処理学会 インタラクション2018と両方に参加される場合は、IUIの参加費が お安くなります。 みなさまのご参加をお待ちしております． 会議日程：2018年3月7日ー11日 会議場所：学術総合センター内一橋講堂 ** Call for Participation *** 23rd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces, IUI 2018 Tokyo, Japan March 7-11, 2018 http://iui.acm.org/2018 IUI 2018 is the 23rd annual meeting of the Intelligent User Interfaces community and serves as a premier international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. IUI is the conference where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. The conference brings together participants from academia, industry, and non-profit organizations, and gives them the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. It is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels, and student consortium sessions. IUI 2018 will be held in the Central Tokyo. Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the largest metropolitan area in the world. Central Tokyo offers a wide range of accommodation options and tourism attractions within short walking distance from the conference venue. Tokyo is served by two airports, Haneda and Narita, which can be reached by direct flights from more than 150 cities all over the world. Both airports are served by express trains that reach Central Tokyo in 35 and 55 minutes, respectively. The program of IUI 2018 can be found at http://iui.acm.org/2018/program.html and the list of accepted papers is at http://iui.acm.org/2018/accepted_papers.html. The conference program will include technical presentations, poster and demo sessions, student consortium, and 7 workshops. It will also feature 3 keynotes from distinguished researchers: James A. Landay (Stanford University), Masataka Goto (AIST), and Jennifer Golbeck (University of Maryland). The conference will be co-located with the domestic IPSJ Interaction conference and the program will be complemented by social events, including a welcome reception and a conference dinner at a traditional Japanese restaurant. We cordially invite you to participate in IUI 2018 and co-located workshops. Conference registration is already open at http://iui.acm.org/2018/registration.html.
