Abstract
Artificial Intelligence XLI comprises the refereed papers presented at the 44 SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intel- ligence, held in December 2024. It is published as two volumes containing papers for the technical stream and the application stream, respectively. The conference was organised by SGAI, the British Computer Society Specialist Group on Artificial Intelligence. This year 80 papers were submitted and all were single-blind peer reviewed by either 2 or 3 reviewers plus the expert members of the Executive Program Committee for each stream of the conference.
This year’s Donald Michie Memorial Award for the best refereed technical paper was won by a paper entitled ‘NER Explainability Framework: Utilizing LIME to Enhance Clarity and Robustness in Named Entity Recognition’ by Morten Grundetjern, Per-Arne Andersen, Morten Goodwin and Karl Audun Borgersen (University of Agder, Norway). This year’s Rob Milne Memorial Award for the best refereed application paper was won by a paper entitled ‘Adaptive CNN Method For Prostate MR Image Segmenta- tion Using Ensemble Learning’ by Lars Jacobson, Mohamed Bader-El-Den, Adrian Hopgood, Shamsul Masum, Vincenzo Tamma (University of Portsmouth, UK), David Prendergast (Innovative Physics Ltd., UK) and Peter Osborn (Portsmouth Hospitals,
University NHS Trust, UK).
The other technical stream full papers included are divided into sections on Neural Nets, Deep Learning, Large Language Models, Machine Learning, Evolutionary and Genetic Algorithms, and Knowledge Management. The other application stream full papers are divided into sections on Machine Vision, Evaluation of AI Systems, Appli- cations of Machine Learning and Other AI Applications. Both volumes also include the text of short papers presented as posters at the conference.
On behalf of the conference Organising Committee, we would like to thank all those who contributed to the organisation of this year’s programme, in particular the Program Committee members, the Executive Program Committees and our administrators Mandy Bauer and Bryony Bramer.
