Preface
This volume contains selected research results on intelligent information technology presented at the 17th and the 18th Annual Conferences of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI 2003 and JSAI 2004) and at other colocated international JSAI 2004 workshops. Intelligent information technology is progressing year by year around the world. Japan is no exception, where researchers and engineers have long been enchanted by intelligent behavior of humans, as observed from wooden mechanical robots of the Edo era, among other things. The current interests of researchers in the field range from mathematical foundation to engineering realization, from cognitive science to robot behaviors, from language origin to document processing, from communicative mechanisms to the Internet, and so forth, as demonstrated by the fields cove
