<div style="font-size: 15px;">The special track aims to explore the multidisciplinary scientific contours and challenges of next-generation artificial
intelligence research and its applications in real-world contexts. The special track welcomes and aims to inspire a multifaceted perspective on approaching next-generation Human-Centric AI Research primarily, but not exclusively, at the confluence of formal,
computational, and cognitive aspects on the one hand, and social, cultural, and ethico-legal dimensions influencing AI development and their application on the other hand.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><i><br>
</i></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">The special track welcomes original research that:</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><b>·</b> Recognises and articulates a nuanced view of computational intelligence in relation to the depth, diversity and multi-faceted nature of `human intelligence’ in diverse naturalistic real-world problem solving, as well
as in everyday human activity and interaction contexts. We welcome demonstrated and systematically evaluated computational models of one or more aspects of human-intelligence, be it with or without the integration of diverse AI techniques/methods.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><b>·</b> Concretely addresses the practical `AI design implications’ emanating from the (human-centric) cognitive, social, ethical and legal dimensions driving AI/ML methodological developments. By design, implied are questions
pertaining to human-centric AI engineering, deployment, usability, evaluation, benchmarking, and standardization of AI/ML techniques. Such AI-design may be pursued, for instance, in the explicit backdrop of emerging AI regulation, or it may be conceptually
rooted (and `systematically’ justified) vis-à-vis social and ethical considerations identifiable in a specific task/context or application domain.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">Integrative research efforts combining computational methods with behavioural or empirical techniques aimed at exploiting synergies in the study of artificial and human intelligence are also welcome, as long as the technical novelty
from the viewpoint of AI method development is clearly articulated and evaluated, and constitutes the key aspect of the submitted work.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><br>

<div style="font-size: 17px;"><b>FOCUS / AI, Human Cognition, and Embodied Interaction.</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">The 2025 edition of the special track focusses (though not exclusively) on the role of `Human Cognition’ and `Embodied (Multimodal) Interaction’ in diverse naturalistic settings for the design and development of next-generation
foundational methods and techniques in AI and ML. By `Humans’ and `Human Cognition’, entailed are human behaviours, preferences and expectations, decision-making, multimodal interaction modalities, problem-solving skills (etc) as relevant from perspectives
such as (a) Human perception and cognition; (b) Society and culture; (c) Ethics and emerging AI-related regulatory compliance; and (d) Standardization. Here, the special track will particularly prioritise research focussed on human-behavioural studies involving
quantitative and/or qualitative empirical analyses of human-behaviour in naturalistic settings as a means to systematically influence the design of human-centred AI methods. Also in focus are specific technical implications for the (human-centric) design of
AI in applications relevant to, for instance:</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">· Human (in-the-loop) assistance and collaborative autonomy in everyday life and professional work contexts (e.g., autonomous and assisted driving, human-robot collaboration, social interaction between human and robots)</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">· Clinical or medical practice (e.g., involving cognitive diagnosis, rehabilitation, multimodal neurocognitive imaging, neuroethics)</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">· Collaborative problem-solving for engineering design synthesis, discovery, diagnostics, creativity etc. (e.g. architecture design, media design)</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">· Entertainment computing (e.g., AI-driven digital visuo-auditory media synthesis)</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">· Media (e.g., disinformation and fake news mitigation, AI in education)</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">The above application areas are merely indicative, and by no means exhaustive. We welcome all systematically investigated AI application contexts that have not been explicitly mentioned in this call.</div>
