This book constitutes the proceedings of the 25th International Symposium on Foundations of Intelligent Systems, ISMIS 2020, held in Graz, Austria, in October 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 35 full and 8 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. Included is also one invited talk. The papers deal with topics such as natural language processing; deep learning and embeddings; digital signal processing; modelling and reasoning; and machine learning applications.

This book presents a selection of papers from the industrial track of ISMIS 2020. The selection emphasizes broad applicability of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in various industrial fields. The aim of the book is to fertilize preliminary ideas of readers on the application of AI by means of already successfully implemented application examples. Furthermore, the development of new ideas and concepts shall be motivated by the variety of different application examples. The spectrum of the presented contributions ranges from education and training, industrial applications in production and logistics to the development of new approaches in basic research, which will further expand the possibilities of future applications of AI in industrial settings. This broad spectrum gives readers working in the industrial as well as the academic field a good overview of the state of the art in the field of methodologies for intelligent systems.

This book discusses different aspects of group recommender systems, which are systems that help to identify recommendations for groups instead of single users. In this context, the authors present different related techniques and applications. The book includes in-depth summaries of group recommendation algorithms, related industrial applications, different aspects of preference construction and explanations, user interface aspects of group recommender systems, and related psychological aspects that play a crucial role in group decision scenarios.
