Scope

The special track is looking for contributions focusing on human interaction with AI that fundamentally challenges the concepts of mediation and control in generative models. Going beyond conditional learning or prompting strategies, co-creative AI requires intelligent bi-directional communication between human and AI. Such capability requires grounding AI representations in ways that correspond to human understanding, alignment of AI production with human intent and imagination, and finding ways to co-develop or co-instruct human and machine productions towards novel, meaningful and useful solutions.

Contributions dealing with, but not limited to, questions of representation, planning, fine-tuning, text-to-media (music, sound, video), or media-to-media generative guidance, editing and production from sketches and partial representation or specifications, group interaction and coordination for creative control, goal driven, intrinsic motivation models, and more, are welcome. Specific interest is in improvisation or game-like situations operating with generative AI for music, sound, video games and other multi-modal intelligent media. In addition to technical papers, we are also inviting submissions that explore practical applications and good practices of collaboration between generative AI and artists

Publication

All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer – LNICST series and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library: ArtsIT Conference Proceedings.

Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, such as Web of Science, Compendex, Scopus, DBLP, EU Digital Library, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Inspec, and Zentralblatt MATH.

Available Journals

All accepted authors are eligible to submit an extended version in a fast track of:

EAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies
EAI Endorsed Transactions on AI and Robotics
EAI Endorsed Transactions on Internet of Things(Scopus)

Additional publication opportunities:

EAI Transactions series (Open Access)
EAI/Springer Innovations in Communications and Computing Book Series
(titles in this series are indexed in Ei Compendex, Web of Science & Scopus)

Paper Submission

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

– Regular papers should be up to 12-15+ pages in length.
– Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length.

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.
