Preface

This volume contains the papers presented at the Thirty-First International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-31) held May 21–23, 2018, in Melbourne, Florida, USA. The call for papers attracted 150 paper submissions (61 to the general conference and 89 to the special tracks), and 27 poster abstracts. Special tracks are a vital part of the FLAIRS conferences, with 13 advertised, 12 with accepted papers. All papers were reviewed by at least three reviewers, and were coordinated by the program committees of the general conference and the special tracks.
