The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) recently sponsored a Blue Sky Ideas Conference Track at the Thirty-Fourth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, February 7-12, 2020 in New York, NY.
The Blue Sky Ideas talk presentations were aimed at presenting ideas and visions that can stimulate the research community to pursue new directions, e.g., new problems, new application domains, or new methodologies that are likely to stimulate significant new research.
- First Place- Back to the Future for Dialogue Research (Phil Cohen)
- Second Place– AI for Explaining Decisions in Multi-Agent Environments (Sarit Kraus, Amos Azaria, Jelena Fiosina, Maike Greve, Noam Hazon, Lutz Kolbe, Tim-Benjamin Lembcke, Joerg P. Mueller, Soeren Schleibaum and Mark Vollrath)
- Third Place– Unveiling Hidden Intentions (Gerardo Ocampo Diaz and Vincent Ng)
