Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at AI*CH 20171 , the 11th Workshop
on Artificial Intelligence for Cultural Heritage co-located with 16th International
Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA 20172 ),
held in Bari, Italy, on November 14, 2017.
    The research paths of Cultural Heritage (CH) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
have increasingly found shared interests, leading to a fruitful fusion of these
two disciplines. In fact, it requires sophisticated representation methods to
formalise the intricate knowledge present in this domain, for exploring all levels
of patrimonial knowledge, whether it is a work of art, an architectural artefact or
a complex system like an area of the city. In this context, AI is the key discipline
as it is an important promoter for the development of innovative technologies,
tools and applications in most of the humanities area. In this moment, AI is
providing into this domain a lot of new innovative services for documenting,
managing, and visiting cultural heritage.
    During the AI*CH workshop, academic and industrial results in the appli-
cation of AI methods and techniques in the domain of Cultural Heritage were
presented. In particular, the papers were related to the topics such as val-
orization, conservation, promotion and gamification. Each proposal has been
reviewed by members of the Program Committee of the Workshop, and on the
basis of their recommendations 5 documents have been selected for publication
and presentation at AI*CH 2017. We would like to thank all the members of
the Program Committee, and all authors of accepted papers for making AI*CH
2017 possible.
