This is to invite you to submit high-quality research papers for the 34th Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AJCAI). The AJCAI is the flagship conference for Australasian AI community and will take place in Sydney on 1-3 December 2021. AJCAI will be in a hybrid mode this year, combining a physical event with an online component that will be streamed in real time.



We encourage cutting-edge works contributing to the theory and practice of AI. Novel application domains including cybersecurity, healthcare, IoT, social media, and big data real-world applications are highly welcome.
