[agents] Call for papers: International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI)

[Pernisch, R.]

Call for papers
Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI)
June 13-17 2022, Amsterdam


Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI) is the first international 
conference
focusing on the study of Artificial Intelligent systems that cooperate 
synergistically,
proactively and purposefully with humans, amplifying instead of 
replacing human intelligence.
HHAI aims for AI systems that assist humans and vice versa, emphasizing 
the need for adaptive,
collaborative, responsible, interactive and human-centered intelligent 
systems that leverage
human strengths and compensate for human weaknesses, while taking into 
account social, ethical
and legal considerations. This field of study is driven by current 
developments in AI, but
also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions. In addition, 
we need collaboration
with areas such as HCI, cognitive and social sciences, philosophy & 
ethics, complex systems,
and others. In this first international conference, we invite scholars 
from these fields to
submit their best original, new as well as in progress, visionary and 
existing work on
Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence.

We welcome research on the different challenges in Hybrid 
Human-Artificial Intelligence. The
following list of topics is illustrative, not exhaustive.

* Human-AI interaction and collaboration
* Adaptive human-AI co-learning and co-creation
* Learning, reasoning and planning with humans and machines in the loop
* User modelling and personalisation
* Integration of learning and reasoning
* Transparent, explainable and accountable AI
* Fair, ethical, responsible and trustworthy AI
* Societal awareness of AI
* Multimodal machine perception of real world settings
* Social signal processing

We welcome contributions about all types of technology, from robots and 
conversational agents
to multi-agent systems and machine learning models.

This first edition of Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence is organized 
by the Hybrid Intelligence
Centre (https://www.hybrid-intelligence-centre.nl/ ) and the Humane-AI 
European Network
(https://www.humane-ai.eu/ ) .

Paper types

In this conference, we wish to stimulate the exchange of novel ideas and 
interdisciplinary
perspectives. To do this, we will accept three different types of papers:

* Full papers present original, impactful work (12 pages excluding 
references)
* Working papers present work in progress or new and visionary ideas (8 
pages excluding. references)
* Extended abstracts present existing, pre-published work (4 pages 
excluding references)

Accepted full papers will be published in the Proceedings of the First 
International Conference on
Hybrid Human-Machine Intelligence, in the Frontiers of AI series by IOS 
Press. Abstracts of working
papers and existing work can be included in these proceedings, unless 
the authors request the
abstracts to remain unpublished.

All accepted papers will receive a minimum slot for oral presentation of 
15 minutes. Depending on
the content and quality of the work, some papers will be selected for 
longer presentations.

Location

This will be an in-person, single-track conference, held in Amsterdam, 
the Netherlands. Pending local
and global Covid measures at the time of the conference, we will provide 
options to attend virtually.

The conference will be hosted at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Reviewing process & Submission guidelines

Reviewing will be single anonymized, as we are welcoming existing work 
and references to previous work
from the submitting authors.

Submissions of full and working papers should be original work and ideas 
without substantial overlap
with pre-published papers. Extended abstracts can present previously 
published work.

On acceptance, at least 1 author should attend the conference. A 
significant contribution is expected
from all authors. A justification of contributions in the paper is 
appreciated.

All studies involving human participants should have received 
human-research ethics consent from the
relevant institutions and mention this in the paper.

All submissions should adhere to IOS formatting guidelines. A template 
for LateX can be found here,
and for Word here. Papers should be written in English.

Work should be submitted in .pdf format via easychair:
