AIST 2024: Call for Papers

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to submit a paper to AIST’2024, a scientific conference on Analysis of Images, Social Networks, and Texts.

The conference is intended for researchers and practitioners interested in data science focusing on innovative applications of data analysis and machine learning techniques to image processing, analysis of network data, text processing, and other domains, such as economics or geographic information systems.

The conference is designed for computer scientists and practitioners whose research interests are related to data science. The eleven previous editions of the AIST conference held in 2012-2023 attracted a significant number of students, researchers, academics, and engineers working on the analysis of images, texts, and social networks.

The main volume of the conference proceedings will be published in Springer’s in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Venue

The conference will be held offline in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, from October 17-19, 2024, with support from Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University and The Cramer Project.
