Special Session
Artificial Intelligence and Digital Heritage: Challenges and Opportunities - 
ARTIDIGH 2020
22 - 24 February, 2020 - Valletta, Malta
Within the 12th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence 
- ICAART 2020
http://www.icaart.org/ARTIDIGH.aspx

SCOPE
With the help of artificial intelligence-powered services and tools the 
heritage sector is working towards the next level of access to and (re)use of 
digitized collections. In recent years libraries, archives and museums have 
started to apply machine learning and advanced knowledge bases to contextually 
enrich digitized objects, audio-visual content and texts and to make these 
retrievable in novel ways. In doing so institutions aim to increase the impact 
of their collections among a growing and diversifying audience. This special 
session welcomes papers that reflect upon, discuss and present the technical 
and societal challenges (e.g. labour to produce labeled datasets, heterogeneity 
of data, bias in training sets) digital heritage professionals and researchers 
are facing when trying to capitalise on the transformative power of artificial 
intelligence in the context of digital archive, image, and audio/visual 
collections. Next to position papers, we are also looking for papers in which 
project consortia discuss their approach and present first results.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Bias and digital collections
- Dealing with uncertainty, quality issues and collection gaps
- Multimodal collection access
- Geographic/spatial enrichment and access
- New ways of accessing collections such as associative and serendipitous search
- Network Analysis
- Natural Language Processing for the Heritage Domain
- Trend and change analysis
- Automatic collection provenance enrichment
- Reflections on the influence of AI on the heritage domain

REVIEW PROCESS
All reviews are based on submissions of full papers (not abstracts) following a 
double-blind process. All papers are subject to plagiarism analysis using a 
software tool prior to review.

All regular papers are reviewed by at least two reviewers, but usually by three 
or more, and rated considering their: Relevance, Originality, Technical 
Quality, Significance and Presentation;
The reviewers are also asked to answer a group of questions that may help the 
authors to improve the paper, should it be accepted, namely: Abstract and 
Introduction are adequate?, Needs more experimental results?, Needs comparative 
evaluation?, Improve critical discussion?, Figures are Adequate?, 
Conclusions/Future Work are convincing?, References are up-to-date and 
appropriate?, Paper formatting needs adjustment?, Improve English?

Finally, the reviewers can provide some free text observations which was given 
to the authors and also some free text private observations, made available 
only to the program chair. Conflicting reviews may require assignment of a new 
reviewer. In the end the program chairs decide. The author has a period for 
rebuttal, which triggers a workflow involving the chairs and the reviewers if 
necessary. All rebuttals are answered but decisions are final.

Position papers follow a similar process but the criteria used for 
classification are slightly different in order to account for the nature of 
these papers, i.e. speculative ideas and/or ongoing work not yet fully 
validated.

Authors can submit their work in the form of a Regular Paper, representing 
completed and validated research, or as a Position Paper, portraying work in 
progress or an arguable opinion about an issue.

Regular Papers
Submission: It is recommended that Regular Papers are submitted for review with 
around 8 to 10 pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including 
references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less than 4 
pages or more than 13 pages will be automatically rejected.


Position Papers
Submission: Position Papers should be submitted for review with around 6 or 7 
pages, with the appropriate font size and page format, including references, 
tables, graphs, images and appendices. Submissions with less than 4 pages or 
more than 9 pages will be automatically rejected.
