3rd Italian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Cultural Heritage (IAICH24)
Special track: Data for cultural Heritage
Workshop website: https://ai4ch.di.unito.it
Co-located with the 23rd International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2024)
https://aixia2024.events.unibz.it/
November 25 – November 28, 2024, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Bolzano (Italy)
Abstract
In the last two decades, the advent of digital technologies on large scale has paved the way to the application of Artificial Intelligence technologies to the study, preservation and accessibility of cultural heritage. On the one side, the availability of digital data can push forward the study of heritage, improving our understanding of the past, and our capability to preserve and transmit it to new generations; on the other side, it can reduce the gap between heritage and its audiences, leading heritage to the role of engine of cultural and societal progress envisaged by the FARO Convention since 2005.
In cultural heritage, the development of applications usually requires the involvement of an interdisciplinary team, and is often constrained to standard formats and frameworks elaborated by national and international institutions. This multidisciplinary approach represents, at the same time, a challenge and an opportunity for Artificial intelligence, since it calls for the elaboration and formalization of original models and the refinement of existing tools and technologies, and the creation of novel ones.

Authors should clearly indicate the topic/s and the type of the contribution.
Submissions should be single blinded, i.e. authors names should be included in the submissions.
All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee and evaluated on the basis of relevance, originality, significance, soundness, and clarity. Papers that exceed the page limits or formatting guidelines will be returned without review. Final copies of papers for inclusion to the conference proceedings will be published on CEUR in the AI*IA series (Scopus indexed). At least one author must attend the conference to present the paper.
Special track: Data for Cultural Heritage
We are excited to announce the Datasets for Cultural Heritage Special Track. This track highlights the crucial role of data in advancing AI within the cultural heritage field and aims to encourage valuable contributions and discussions on this key aspect. Data serves as a vital bridge between cultural heritage experts—such as archaeologists, art historians, and museum curators—and AI practitioners. Therefore, it is essential to provide high-quality, accessible datasets.
A data-centric approach to cultural heritage faces several specific challenges, including delays in digitization, a lack of data literacy among many institutions, and the absence of standardized metadata schemas. Additionally, data scientists, machine learning practitioners, and computer scientists often do not engage sufficiently with subject matter experts in a truly interdisciplinary manner. This track seeks to address and mitigate these issues by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and dialogue.
We envision submissions that exemplify these goals and look forward to your contributions.
- New datasets
- Curated datasets based on previously available data (e.g., a collection of landscapes from artworks)
- CH-specific classification, labeling, and metadata schemas aimed at facilitating interdisciplinary research
- Methodological discussions and frameworks that address the specific challenges insisting on data collection and curation for CH
- Audits and discussions of existing datasets, analyzing issues, and putting forth proposals for their improvement
- All submissions should ensure compliance with current ethical and legal standards and frameworks.
Data papers should comply with the following requirements:
- 6-8 pages
- Motivations for the data collection
- Description of format and schema
- Clear statement about the availability of the dataset
- Discussion of the ethical issues, if any
- DRM schema adopted
- Contributors and responsibility
- FAIRness discussion
