3 Preface The Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (MICAI) is a yearly international conference series organized by the Mexican Society of Artificial Intelligence (SMIA) since MICAI is a major international AI forum and the main event in the academic life of the country s growing AI community. MICAI conferences publish high-quality papers in all areas of artificial intelligence and its applications. The proceedings of the previous MICAI events have been published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series, vol. 1793, 2313, 2972, 3789, 4293, 4827, 5317, 5845, 6437, 6438, 7094, and Since its foundation in 2000, the conference has been growing in popularity and improving in quality. The proceedings of MICAI 2012 have been published in two volumes. The first volume, Advances in Artificial Intelligence, contains 40 papers structured into five sections: Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition Computer Vision and Image Processing Robotics Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and Scheduling Medical Applications of Artificial Intelligence The second volume, Advances in Computational Intelligence, contains 40 papers structured into four sections: Natural Language Processing Evolutionary and Nature-Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithms Neural Networks and Hybrid Intelligent Systems Fuzzy Systems and Probabilistic Models in Decision Making Both books will be of interest for researchers in all fields of AI, students specializing in related topics and for general public interested in recent developments in AI. The conference received for evaluation 224 submissions by 461 authors from 28 countries: Algeria, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Cuba, Czech Rep., France, Hungary, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Russia, Spain, Tunisia, UK, and USA. Of those submissions, 77 papers were selected for publication in these two volumes after peer-reviewing process carried out by the international Program Committee. In particular, the acceptance rate was 34.3%. MICAI 2012 was honored by the presence of such renowned experts as Ulises Cortés of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain; Joydeep Ghosh of the University of Texas, US; Jixin Ma of the Greenwich College, UK; Roy A. Maxion of the Carnegie Mellon University, US; Grigori Sidorov of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Mexico; and Ian Witten of the University of Waikato, New Zealand, who

4 gave excellent keynote lectures. The technical program of the conference also featured nine tutorials presented by Ulises Cortes, Alexander Gelbukh, Jean Bernard Hayet, Sergio Ledezma, Jixin Ma, Roy A. Maxion, Horacio Rostro González, Grigori Sidorov, and Ian Witten. Two workshops were held jointly with the conference: the Fifth Workshop on Intelligent Learning Environments and the Fifth Workshop on Hybrid Intelligent Systems. In particular, in addition to regular papers, the volumes contain three invited papers by keynote speakers and their collaborators: Empirical Study of Machine Learning Based Approach for Opinion Mining in Tweets, by Grigori Sidorov, Sabino Miranda-Jiménez, Francisco Viveros- Jiménez, Alexander Gelbukh, Noé Castro-Sánchez, Francisco Velásquez, Ismael Díaz-Rangel, Sergio Suárez-Guerra, Alejandro Treviño, and Juan Gordon AI based fall management services.
