We are now inviting researchers to submit papers in all areas of Artificial Intelligence, either theoretical or applied, to the 38th Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence taking place in Calgary on May 26-29. 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.
Paper submissions are due by Thursday, Feb 20, 2025 (11:59 p.m. AoE time zone).

Conference proceedings will be published in PubPub open-access online format and submitted to be indexed/abstracted in leading indexing services such as DBLP, ACM, and Google Scholar.

**Submission details**

Canadian AI is accepting submissions of both long and short papers. Long papers must be no longer than 12 pages, and short papers must be no longer than 6 pages, including references. Submissions in both LaTeX and Word are accepted. More information and submission templates are available under Submission Details here:

Papers submitted to the conference must not have already been published, or accepted for publication, or be under review by a journal or another conference (preprint is acceptable if the title is different). Submissions will go through a double-blind review process by Program Committee members to assess originality, significance, technical merit, and clarity of presentation. As such, submissions must be anonymized, and papers that fail to do so will be desk rejected without a review.

**Topics of interest include:**
Agent Systems
AI Applications
Automated Reasoning
Case‐based Reasoning
Cognitive Models
Constraint Satisfaction
Data Mining
Deep Learning and Neural Models
E‐Commerce
Ethics in AI, AI for social good
Evolutionary Computation
Explainable AI

Games
Information Retrieval and Search
Knowledge Management
Knowledge Representation
Large Language Models
Machine Learning
Multimedia Processing

Web Mining and Applications

Authors of accepted long papers will be allotted time for an oral presentation during the conference. Accepted short papers will also be allotted time for a 5-minute oral presentation, followed by a poster session presentation. It is mandatory for at least one author of each accepted paper to attend the conference in person to present their work. Authors are expected to agree to this requirement before submitting their paper for review.

Furthermore, the corresponding author of each paper must complete and sign a copyright form on behalf of all authors associated with the paper. It is important that the corresponding author who signs the copyright form matches the corresponding author listed on the paper.

**Awards**

A Best Paper Award and a Best Student Paper Award will be given at the conference, respectively, to the authors of each best paper, as judged by the Best Paper Award Selection Committee. For the Best Student Paper Award, the first author must be a registered student at the time of submitting the paper.
