27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2024)

The field of AI has grown enormously since 1974, when a summer conference on Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour was held in Brighton, UK. This milestone in the history of AI has since come to be thought of as the 1st European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI). This book presents the proceedings of ECAI-2024, the 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence. This 50th-anniversary edition of the conference, with the theme of celebrating the past and inspiring the future, was held from 19 to 24 October 2024 in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Included here are 544 Main Track papers (selected from 2,344 submissions, acceptance rate 23%), and 18 Demo Track papers (57 submissions, acceptance rate 32%). These cover all areas of AI, including planning, search, constraints, satisfiability, knowledge representation, uncertainty, data mining, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, multiagent systems, and robotics. Multi-disciplinary aspects such as the interplay between humans and machines, fairness, ethics, and trust are also covered. Also included in the book are eight invited papers on Frontiers in AI and the abstracts of 14 recently-published journal papers not previously presented at a conference with archival proceedings. ECAI-2024 was held concurrently with PAIS-2024, the 13th edition of the Conference on Prestigious Applications of Intelligent Systems, and the peer reviewed papers accepted for presentation at PAIS (35 papers from 71 submissions, acceptance rate 49%) also form part of this book. Offering a comprehensive overview of recent research and developments in AI, the book will be of interest to all those working in the field.
