Reports of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's 2024 Fall Symposium Series
The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's 2024 Fall Symposium Series was held at Westin Arlington Gateway, Arlington, Virginia, November 7-9, 2024. There were seven symposia in the fall program: AI Trustworthiness and Risk Assessment for Challenging Contexts (ATRACC), Artificial Intelligence for Aging in Place, Integrated Approaches to Computational Scientific Discovery, Large Language Models for Knowledge Graph and Ontology Engineering (LLMs for KG and OE), Machine Intelligence for Equitable Global Health (MI4EGH), Unifying Representations for Robot Application Development, Using AI to Build Secure and Resilient Agricultural Systems: Leveraging AI to mitigate Cyber, Climatic and Economic Threats in Food, Agricultural, and Water (FAW) Systems. This report contains summaries of the workshops, which were submitted by some, but not all, of the workshop chairs. The rapid embrace of AI-based critical systems introduces new dimensions of errors that induce increased levels of risk, limiting trustworthiness. Thus, AI-based critical systems must be assessed across many dimensions by different parties (researchers, developers, regulators, customers, insurance companies, end-users, etc.) for different reasons. Assessment of trustworthiness should be made at both the full system level and at the level of individual AI components. The focus of this symposium was on AI trustworthiness broadly and methods that help provide bounds for fairness, reproducibility, reliability, and accountability in the context of quantifying AI-system risk, spanning the entire AI lifecycle from theoretical research formulations all the way to system implementation, deployment, and operation. This first AAAI symposium on AI Trustworthiness and Risk Assessment in Challenging Contexts was triggered by two initiatives on responsible and trustworthy AI that came together thanks to encouragement given by AAAI: an international community (mostly European and Asia-South Pacific) around AI trustworthiness assessment for critical systems, already gathered at the AITA SSS Symposium in 2023; and a US-based community around University of West Florida, gathered about the question of AI risk assessment in challenging contexts e.g., for security or defense applications.

Reports of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's 2023 Fall Symposium Series
During the final half-day of the AI-HRI symposium, the community was joined by the Unifying Representations for Robot Application Development (UR-RAD) symposium attendees to discuss needs, expectations, and preferences for future gatherings like TAHRI to maintain the welcoming, inclusive, and close community that has persisted throughout the ten years of AI-HRI. The AAAI Fall Symposium Series provided an opportunity ten years ago for researchers at the intersection of the fields of AI and HRI to come together in an attempt to identify where they belong when neither field's venues seemed to provide the correct fit for their research contributions, serving as a bridge between the two areas of study. As the community met and learned from each other over the past ten iterations of the symposium, it became clearer that AI-HRI is a unique field of study that is equally important to both fields and their venues--more importantly, these gatherings fostered a strong, supportive community that recognizes the challenges that their colleagues face trying to understand AI problems in HRI domains, as well as HRI problems surfacing as AI becomes more ubiquitous in society. Everyone wanted more time in break-out discussions due to the wonderful, productive conversations and networking, which is a testament to the community's positive and comfortable engagement between both familiar and new faces. Although the tenth anniversary marked the last AI-HRI at the AAAI Fall Symposium Series, the opportunities that the venue offered have made this the beginning of a new community.

The symposium consisted of four keynote speakers with varying engagement with the idea of a distributed teaching collaborative. The symposium began with a keynote by Chad Jenkins, a professor of robotics at the University of Michigan. In his talk, he laid out the symposium's goal and the intent of the distributed teaching collaborative. He highlighted efforts to offer distributed classes between the University of Michigan and Barea College, Howard University, and Morehouse College. The second keynote was Dr. Talitha Washington the current director of the AUC data science initiative.

Reports of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's 2021 Fall Symposium Series
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Symposium has been a successful venue of discussion and collaboration since 2014. During that time, these symposia provided a fertile ground for numerous collaborations and pioneered many discussions revolving around HRI, XAI for HRI, service robots, interactive learning, and more. This unique intersection of expertise, along with the rising interest in robots in mixed human-robot environments, calls for an informed discussion about the future of AI-HRI as a united research community. As such, this year's symposium had no single theme and AI-HRI submissions were encouraged from across disciplines and research interests. Moreover, with the rising interest in AR and VR as part of an AI-HRI system, along with the difficulties in running physical experiments during the pandemic, this year we specifically encouraged researchers to submit works that do not include a physical robot in their evaluation, but promote HRI research in general.

Moreover, 2 keynote and 2 tutorial papers were invited. Most regular papers were presented in one of these tracks: Smart Contracts, Blockchain, and Rules, Constraint Handling Rules, Event Driven Architectures and Active Database Systems, Legal Rules and Reasoning, Rule-and Ontology-Based Data Access and Transformation, Rule Induction, and Learning. Following up on previous years, RuleML also hosted the 6th RuleML Doctoral Consortium and the 10th International Rule Challenge, which this year was dedicated to applications of rule-based reasoning, such as Rules in Retail, Rules in Tourism, Rules in Transportation, Rules in Geography, Rules in Location-Based Search, Rules in Insurance Regulation, Rules in Medicine, and Rules in Ecosystem Research. The 10th International Rule Challenge Awards went to Ingmar Dasseville, Laurent Janssens, Gerda Janssens, Jan Vanthienen, and Marc Denecker, for their paper Combining DMN and the Knowledge Base Paradigm for Flexible Decision Enactment, and Jacob Feldman for his paper What-If Analyzer for DMN-based Decision Models. As in previous years, RuleML 2016 was also a place for presentations and face-to-face meetings about rule technology standardizations, which this year Mark Your Calendars!
