This book constitutes the proceedings of the 47th German Conference on AI, KI 2024, which was held in Würzburg, Germany, during September 25–27, 2024. The 19 full papers, 7 short papers and 5 other papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions. KI is one of the major European AI conferences and traditionally brings together academic and industrial researchers from all areas of AI, providing an ideal place for exchanging news and research results on theory and applications. The papers have been categorized into the following sections: full technical papers; technical communications; extended abstracts of papers from other AI conferences.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 43rd German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, KI 2020, held in Bamberg, Germany, in September 2020. The 16 full and 12 short papers presented together with 6 extended abstracts in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. As well-established annual conference series KI is dedicated to research on theory and applications across all methods and topic areas of AI research. KI 2020 had a special focus on human-centered AI with highlights on AI and education and explainable machine learning. Due to the Corona pandemic KI 2020 was held as a virtual event.

This book, through its various chapters presenting recent advances in Modern Artificial Intelligence and Data Science as well as their applications, aims to set up lasting and real applications necessary for both academics and professionals. By its proposals of new ideas, it serves as a real guide both to informed readers and to beginners in these specialized fields. It also covers applications that discuss how they can support societal challenges such as education, health, agriculture, clean energy, business, environment, and security. Readers will find here the fruit of many research ideas covering a wide range of application areas that can be explored for the advancement of their research or the development of their business. These ideas present new techniques and trends projected in various areas of daily life. This book is therefore intended for Designers, Developers, Decision-Makers, Consultants, Engineers, and of course Master's/Doctorate Students, Researchers, and Universities.

For many years, Arti?cial Intelligence technology has served in a great variety of successful applications. AI researchand researchershave contributed much to the vision of the so-called Information Society. As early as the 1980s, some of us imagined distributed knowledge bases containing the explicable knowledge of a company or any other organization. Today, such systems are becoming reality. In the process, other technologies have had to be developed and AI-technology has blended with them, and companies are now sensitive to this topic. TheInternetandWWWhaveprovidedtheglobalinfrastructure,whileatthe same time companies have become global in nearly every aspect of enterprise. This process has just started, a little experience has been gained, and therefore it is tempting to re?ect and try to forecast, what the next steps may be. This has given us one of the two main topics of the 23rd Annual German Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence (KI-99)held at the University of Bonn: The Knowledge Society. Two of our invited speakers, Helmut Willke, Bielefeld, and Hans-Peter Kriegel, Munich, dwell on di?erent aspects with di?erent perspectives. Helmut Willke deals with the concept of virtual organizations, while Hans-Peter Kriegel applies data mining concepts to pattern recognitiontasks.The three application forums are also part of the Knowledge Society topic: “IT-based innovation for environment and development”, “Knowledge management in enterprises”, and “Knowledgemanagementinvillageandcityplanningoftheinformationsociety”.
