SLATE2020: Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies

Barcelos, Portugal, July 13-14, 2020
http://slate-conf.org
————————————————————————-

We often use languages. Earlier, to communicate between ourselves. Later,
to communicate with computers. And more recently, with the advent of
networks, we found a way to make computers communicate between themselves.
All these different forms of communication use languages, different
languages, but that still share many similarities. In SLATE, we are
interested in discussing these languages, organized in three main tracks:

* HHL Track:
Processing Human-Human Languages, dedicated to the presentation and
discussion of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools and applications.

* HCL Track:
Processing Human-Computer Languages, where researchers, developers,
and educators exchange ideas and information on the latest academic
or industrial work on the design, processing, assessment, and
applications of programming languages.

* CCL Track:
Processing Computer-Computer Languages, broad space for discussing
(mark-up) languages for communication between computers, including
those used for visualization and presentation of information to the
end-user.

*********************************************************

Call for Participation

Students Session

Winter School on Artificial Intelligence for Games

http://ai4g.ipca.pt/2020/

*********************************************************

The fourth edition of the Winter School on Artificial Intelligence for Games will take place in IPCA, Barcelos, Portugal, from 2nd to 3rd April, 2020.

Together with the standard sessions (full schedule will be made available soon), there will take place a students session.

For this session all students from any institution, working on projects related to artificial intelligence and games, are invited to talk for about 10 minutes to present their work. This is an unique opportunity to have senior AI specialists to comment and give insights on your work.

Interested students (from Bachelor up to PhD) should contact the organization through the email ‘asimoes@ipca.pt‘.

*********** CALL FOR PAPERS ***********

Artificial Intelligence for Games (AI4G’19) Track of EPIA’19

AI4G 2019 will be held at the 18th Portuguese Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (EPIA 2019) taking place at Vila Real,Portugal, from

3rd to 6th September, 2019. The call for papers of EPIA’19 and all information

about other tracks can be found at the EPIA URL:

– TRACK DESCRIPTION

Playing games has been considered a relevant task for AI research since

the very inception of the field. Some of the AI accomplishments have been

based on solving Games like Checkers, Chess and Go. Often, competitions

based on games are organized to foster the research on AI and define

frameworks for comparison of work. One example is the General Game Playing

that challenges AI players to play and win games they do not know beforehand.

Games can also be the base of research on computational creativity. The procedural

design of new levels for games or the design of complete games with novel gameplay

has been an interesting challenge. The generation of game content has been

addressed in the sense of story creation and interactive storytelling as well, which is

one of the very promising fields of research on AI for games, and one that attracts the

interest of the game development industry. Finally, the social nature of games, and in

particular of videogames, present good scenarios for exploring the social skills of AI

agents, in particular by interacting with humans. This thematic track brings together leading researchers to discuss recent advances and explore future directions in the applied field of

Artificial Intelligence for Games.
