Advances in Artificial Intelligence

This book presents selected and extended papers from the largest conference on artificial intelligence in Japan, which was expanded into an internationalized event for the first time in 2019: the 33rd Annual Conference of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI 2019), held on June 4–June 7, 2019 at TOKI MESSE in Niigata, Japan.  The book’s content has been divided into six major sections, on (I) knowledge engineering, (II) agents, (III) education and culture, (IV) natural language processing, (V) machine learning and data mining, and (VI) cyber physics.  Given its scope, the book offers a valuable reference guide for professionals, undergraduate and graduate students engaged in disciplines, fields, technologies, or philosophies relevant to AI, e.g., computer/data science, robotics, linguistics, and physics, introducing them to recent advances in this area and discussing the human society of tomorrow.
