Artificial intelligence for human computer interaction

This special issue on Artificial Intelligence for Human Computer Interaction follows the positive experience of the AI*HCI workshop, which took place on 4th of December 2013 in Turin in conjunction with the XIII Conference of the Italian Association for Artifi- cial Intelligence (AI*IA 2013). The main aim of the special issue is to provide some answers on how Arti- ficial Intelligence (AI) can be profitably used in the context of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) by the research community. This issue presents six contributions that address how adaptation, personalization and recommendations have been investigated and applied to several domains such as tourism, personal information management, information scheduling, the provision of emotional support, and the modeling of videogame player engagement.
