AIST is a scientific conference on Analysis of Images, Social Networks, and Texts. The conference is intended for computer scientists and practitioners whose research interests involve Internet mathematics and other related fields of data science. Similar to the previous year, the conference will be focused on applications of data mining and machine learning techniques to various problem domains: image processing, analysis of social networks, and natural language processing. We hope that the participants will benefit from the interdisciplinary nature of the conference and exchange experience.

Publication of revised selected papers is performed as a post-proceedings in the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

The scope of the conference includes but not limited to the following topics:
Social Network Analysis
Natural Language Processing
Recommender systems and collaborative technologies
Process mining
Analytics for geoinformation systems
Analysis of images and video
Discovering and analyzing processes using event data
Game analytics
Core Data Mining and Machine Learning techniques
Semantic Web and Ontologies
Educational Data Mining
ML & DM for Economics and Social Sciences

This year, we also have a separate track on analysis of dynamic behavior through event data. An analysis of big data, containing dynamic processes of systems’ executions and collaborations in a form of event logs, is a challenging research direction also known as process mining or business process intelligence. Techniques for constructing process models from event logs, finding log and model deviations, and enhancing pre-existing process models with additional information extracted from logs can significantly assist in understanding systems’ behavior. Papers presenting original process mining approaches as well as case studies in discovering and analyzing processes using event data are sought. The scope of the section includes but not limited to the following topics:

Algorithms and approaches for the discovery of process models from event logs;
Techniques for the discovery of social nets from communication logs;
Representation and visualization of models discovered from event logs;
Methods for finding deviations between real and expected system’s behavior;
Complex event processing to assist process intelligence;
Compliance management and conformance checking;
Applying process mining techniques in various domains, such as e-government, healthcare, banking, manufacturing, booking systems and others.
