Fifth Tutorial and Workshop on Generative AI for Semantic Computing Applications (GASC 2027)
Part of IEEE ICSC 2027
Generative AI and applications of AI automation has gained elevated acceptance in all industries. This has brought AI into a new era of disruptive technology where every traditional skill set is likely to be questioned. This has included even high technology roles such as software development and AI model generation. To those with an open mind, this technology represents much more opportunities than disadvantages including the realization of higher acceptance and applications than seen prior.
This workshop presents a tutorial that includes hands on programming of generative AI tools and techniques specifically for the ideation, design, implementation, testing and maintenance of Semantic Computing based applications. This year’s workshop will have increased concentration on LLM model validation, finetuning, RAG, consensus-based modeling and (feedback-based) prompt engineering. Additional concentrations will also include localized LLM implementations and integration with ‘classic’ expert system - based modeling among other techniques for improved explainability. The emphasis is to work towards the (more pragmatic) concept of AI Engineering as opposed to complete Agent-Based implementation allowing for improved acceptance and integration of the latest AI technologies.
We invite you to submit extended abstracts (two pages, excluding references) in PDF format through this link by December 10, 2026.
Contributions will be reviewed for quality and relevance to the workshop’s theme. Theoretical and applied papers and papers that capture best practices and lessons learned from field studies are encouraged. Submission of preliminary results would also be considered.
Authors of accepted abstracts will present their work at the workshop either as regular talks or as posters.
The workshop organizers plan to invite the authors of distinguished extended abstracts to submit a full paper of their work in internationally renowned journals (SCI, EI, and/or Scopus indexed).
