Kommission Kartographie & KI (CartoAI)

About us

General activities of the commission:

  • Organizing a recurring, English-language conference on “CartoAI” is a central component of the commission’s activities. These conferences aim to cover a broad range of topics and bring together researchers from the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Cartography.
  • The work produced during the CartoAI conferences is intended to promote the commission’s publication efforts. The focus lies on increasing the visibility of research results in the field of Cartography and AI.

Topics:

The commission’s areas of interest are diverse and reflect current developments at the intersection of Cartography and Artificial Intelligence. The following list is dynamic and not exhaustive:

  • Novel deep learning techniques applied to maps or to cartographic data
  • AI techniques for map generalization, map schematization, text placement
  • Pattern recognition in maps
  • Cartographic style transfer
  • AI techniques for map vectorization and map label interpretation
  • Large language model for map interaction
  • Evaluation of AI techniques and results
  • Review of AI studies in cartography
  • Explainable AI (XAI) for AI in Cartography
