Daniela Lopez de Luise The deadline for submission to Canadian AI 2020 is only *ten* days away (Jan. 17).
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
Canadian AI 2020 – 13-15 May 2020 in Ottawa
https://www.caiac.ca/en/conferences/canadianai-2020
The 33rd Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence (Canadian AI 2020)
will take place in Ottawa, Ontario, 12 May to 15 May, 2020. The event is
collocated with the Computer and Robot Vision (CRV) conference. These
events (AI·CRV 2020) will bring together hundreds of leaders in research,
industry, and government, as well as Canada's most accomplished students.
They showcase Canada's ingenuity, innovation and leadership in intelligent
systems and advanced information and communications technology.
We invite papers that present original work in all areas of Artificial
Intelligence, either theoretical or applied. Canadian AI 2020 welcomes
submissions on topics including (but not limited to) search, planning,
knowledge representation, reasoning, natural language processing, robotics
and perception, multiagent systems, statistical learning, and deep learning.
We expressly encourage work that cuts across technical areas or applies
AI techniques in the context of important domains such as e-commerce,
games, healthcare, sustainability, and transportation.
We also welcome the submission of position papers, which present
evidence-based arguments for a particular point of view without necessarily
presenting a new system. There will be an option during the submission
process to indicate that a paper is a position paper.
As in previous years, accepted papers will be published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series.
We are glad to announce that Canadian AI 2020 has the following confirmed
keynote speakers:
* Giuseppe Carenini (University of British Columbia),
* Pascal Poupart (University of Waterloo), and
* Csaba Szepesvari (University of Alberta),
as well as a tutorial by Pierre-Luc Bacon from Université de Montréal.
*** Important dates ***
Submission deadline: January 17th, 2020
(Note: We are running on a tight schedule this year, significant extension
is unlikely.)
Author notification: February 21st, 2020
Final papers due: March 7th, 2020
Conference: May 13-15th, 2020
*** Submissions details ***
We invite submissions of both long and short papers. Long papers must be no
longer than 12 pages, including references, formatted using the Springer
LNCS/LNAI style. Short papers must be no longer than 6 pages, including
references, in the LNAI style. We provide a sample, but authors should
consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates,
