The 2nd international conference on human-centered artificial intelligence (Computing4Human) will be held in Danang, Vietnam (and virtual conference), which is organized by the University of Da Nang. Computing4Human begun initially under the name of the international workshop on computational humanities and social sciences in 2020. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and their applications has remarkably changed how we live and how our societies operate. On the last event, we have focused on these changes in the humanities and social sciences fields. The last event covered embracing domain knowledge of humanities and social sciences fields into AI methodologies, solving research issues in these fields by employing AI techniques, and social and humane issues caused by the novel AI techniques and applications. However, the influence of AI's advent is not easy to be investigated by only perspectives adopted from the humanities and social sciences. For example, we need city planning experts to discuss further research directions of smart infrastructure or data-driven city planning, and smart healthcare research is difficult to be conducted without comments from medical doctors.

Therefore, this year, we aim at gathering scholars who deal with AI techniques in various domains. We remove boundaries of the area of interest of this conference and extend the area to artificial intelligence methodologies for every user-intimate (human-centered) application and novel issues caused by the advent of AI techniques in every domain. The main purpose of Computing4Human 2021 is to search for unexplored areas of human-centered AI applications and develop advanced methodologies for these areas by encouraging open discussions between scholars in AI and researchers with domain expertise. We founded the regular tracks to cover the various domains of human-centered AI applications. Although the tracks merely present recently popular issues, we do not restrict topics of potential submissions.

Important Dates

• Submission deadline: July 2nd, 2021

• Acceptance Notification: August 15th, 2021

• Final manuscript due: September 17th, 2021

• Conference: October 28th - 29th, 2021

Submission Guidelines

We invite the following two kinds of papers:

■ Research papers (Maximum 7 pages excluding references)

■ Position papers and demos (Maximum 5 pages excluding references)

All manuscripts have to be formatted according to the LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) template.

All the manuscripts must be submitted in PDF files through the EasyChair system.

Also, authors have to annotate tracks that they aim at on the keyword list in the EasyChair system (not on keywords in manuscripts), e.g., '[Smart Healthcare]' and so on.

Publication

All papers will be fully refereed and undergo a single-blind review process by at least two reviewers. All accepted papers will be published through the CEUR Workshop Proceeding (as with the last event), which is indexed in Scopus and Google Scholar. Extended versions of selected papers will be published in special issues of several international journals (SCI(E)-indexed).
