International Workshop on AI & Mathematical Methods for Real‑world Impact (AI2M4RI’2026)

In conjunction with:
The 23rd International Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing
August 18-20, 2026, Athens, Greece


Description

Artificial Intelligence and mathematical modeling are increasingly driving breakthroughs in solving complex real‑world problems across health, environment, mobility, economics, and social systems. As data grows in scale and complexity, the integration of rigorous mathematical methods with modern AI becomes essential for building reliable, interpretable, and impactful solutions. This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners, and students working at the intersection of AI, machine learning, mathematics, and applied sciences to exchange ideas, present innovative methodologies, and showcase applications that deliver tangible real‑world benefits. It aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, highlight emerging challenges, and inspire new collaborations that push the boundaries of AI‑driven mathematical modeling.

We invite high‑quality submissions presenting novel models, theoretical insights, applied case studies, or interdisciplinary approaches that leverage AI and mathematical tools to address real‑world challenges.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Machine learning and statistical modeling for real‑world data
Integrating AI, ABM, and Mathematical Tools for Advances in Mining and Geology
Mathematical modeling, simulation, and dynamical systems
Explainable, interpretable, and trustworthy AI
Optimization, control, and decision‑making under uncertainty
Artificial Intelligence and Probabilistic Modeling for Sports Betting
AI for health, environment, climate, and public policy
Spatio‑temporal modeling, forecasting, and geospatial analytics
AI and mathematical tools for resource‑limited or data‑scarce settings
Hybrid AI–mathematics approaches (physics‑informed ML, model‑driven ML, etc.)
Case studies demonstrating real‑world impact
Probabilistic modeling, Bayesian inference, and uncertainty quantification
Numerical methods and scientific computing for AI systems
Graph theory, network science, and graph‑based machine learning
