The Workshops of the Thirty-First AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence: Technical Reports WS-17-01 - WS-17-15

The Workshop Program of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence’s Thirty-First AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-17) was held at the beginning of the conference, February 4-5, 2017. Workshop participants met and discussed issues with a selected focus — providing an informal setting for active exchange among researchers, developers and users on topics of current interest. To foster interaction and exchange of ideas, the workshops were kept small, with 25-65 participants. Attendance was sometimes limited to active participants only, but most workshops also allowed general registration by other interested individuals.

The AAAI-17 Workshops covered a wide range of topics in AI, and were an excellent forum for exploring emerging approaches and task areas, for bridging the gaps between AI and other fields or between subfields of AI, for elucidating the results of exploratory research, or for critiquing existing approaches. The fifteen workshops included in this technical report are as follows:
