The 31st Irish Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science (AICS 2023) will be hosted by Atlantic Technological University (ATU) in collaboration with Ulster University. The conference will be held in-person at the Letterkenny campus of ATU Donegal. We are also honoured that IEEE UK and Ireland Computational Intelligence Chapter will provide technical sponsorship of the conference.
With regular conferences dating back to 1988, the AICS Conference is Ireland’s primary forum bringing together researchers in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. The fields of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science, encompassing areas such as; Data Analytics, Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, and Machine Learning, are now at the forefront of Irish computing research and industry. The AICS 2023 program will include presentations of high-quality theoretical and applied scientific papers and tutorials. Invited talks will describe important topics relevant to the field.
