In recent years, the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of cartography has been truly inspiring. AI technology has demonstrated immense potential in areas such as map generalization, automated map-making, map design, user interaction, and many more. With these advancements, cartography is undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
Following a successful CartoAI Workshop in 2023, this workshop seeks to gather the researchers working on AI techniques applied to cartography. For this workshop, contributions on all AI-related techniques are welcome. The workshop will give the participants the opportunity to give short presentations on recent and ongoing research. It also includes a keynote and time for discussions.
The following topics are welcome:
- Novel deep-learning techniques applied to maps or 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
Submission
You are invited to submit a 2-page abstract, following the general guidelines of the ICA conference abstracts. The proceedings of the workshop will be published on the website of the ICA Commission on Generalisation and Multiple Representation.
Abstracts should be submitted to EasyChair. Please click “New Submission” to open the new page of “New Submission for AGILE 2025 (2nd Workshop on CartoAI: AI for Cartography)”.
