The 33rd AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence , the 31st Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference, and the 9th Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence were held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Honolulu, Hawaii. I have one paper accepted by IAAI 2019 on Cleaning Noisy and Heterogeneous Metadata for Record Linking across Scholarly Big Datasets, coauthored with Athar Sefid (my student at PSU), Jing Zhao (my mentee at PSU), Lu Liu (a graduate student who published a Nature Letter), Cornelia Caragea (my collaborator at UIC), Prasenjit Mitra , and C. Lee Giles . This year, AAAI receives the greatest number of submissions -- 7095 which doubles the submission in 2018. There are 18191 reviews collected and over 95% papers have 3 reviews. There are 1147 papers accepted, which takes 16.2% of all submissions. This is the lowest acceptance rate in history. There are in total 122 technical sessions, 460 oral presentations (15 min talk) and
