The Artificial Intelligence section of Lithuanian Computer Society (LIKS-AIS)

The Artificial Intelligence section of Lithuanian Computer Society (LIKS-AIS)

LIKS-AIS with international partners carried out the EU Erasmus+ project:

EurAiThe Artificial Intelligence section of Lithuanian Computer Society (LIKS-AIS) is a member of the European Association for Artifical Intelligence, EurAI
(so, LIKS-AIS members have the possibility to access full texts of papers of the “AI Communications” journal, etc.);

–

Lithuanian Computer Society with AI section (through the Technical committee “TK 4 Information technology” of Lithuanian Standards Board) is a member of the Int. Standardization Organization / Int. Electrotechnical Commission Joint Technical Committee 1 / Subcommittee 42 (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42) “Artificial Intelligence”.

–

Lithuanian Computer Society with AI section  is  a research partner of the International Artificial Intelligencen and Quantum Technology (INAIQT) Foundation.

–

And, LIKS-AIS is a supporter of
Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe (CLAIRE)

Artificial Intelligence section of Lithuanian Computer Society (LIKS-AIS) currently has about 20 members, mainly in Vilnius and Kaunas. LIKS-AIS is the main coordinating center for exchange of Artificial Intelligence related information through e-mail and at the seminars. At LIKS-AIS seminars Lithuanian (and invited foreign) specialists present their latest research results, practical experience and information from international conferences.

The main directions of Lithuanian Artificial Intelligence research are: Machine Learning, Ontological Engineering, Knowledge-Based Systems, Conceptual Modelling in Law, Applied Mathematical Logics, Artificial Neural Networks, Pattern Recognition, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, etc. The “Artificial Intelligence” topics are presented  and there are some doctoral students of AI-related subjects at Vilnius University, Vilnius Gediminas Technical Univesity, Kaunas University of Technology.

LIKS-AIS was founded on the same year as Lithuanian Computer Society: 1989. On the other hand, it continues the tradition of AI seminars, starded in the beginning of 1980-ies at the Institute of Cardiology in Kaunas (headed by Dr. Gediminas Šerksnys), and later at the Kaunas Faculty of Humanities of Vilnius University (headed by Dr. Eugenijus Telešius). During 1995-1996 the majority of LIKS-AIS members were the members of European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI) through the Finish Artificial Intelligence Society (FAIS).

Since 1997 LIKS-AIS is a member of EurAI [similarly, now 7 Estonian AI specialists are LIKS-AIS/EurAI members, too]. The members of LIKS AI section
– have organised EurAI’s Advanced Course on Artificial Intelligence ACAI-97 “Artificial Intelligence and Information Systems: Integration Aspects” in Vilnius, June 23–28, 1997;
– help organising International Conferences in Lithuania;
– co-operate organising International Conferences abroad:

  • Ai Everything Summit, October 17–21, 2021, Dubai, UAE;
    (previous: March 10–11, 2020 webinar;  April 30 – May 1, 2019, Dubai, UAE)
