The National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (CNIA) is aimed at the entire AI research community. It aims to strengthen the links and interactions between the different sub-disciplines and disciplines using AI and also allows to share the latest advances in AI. This year, the CNIA will take place in Saint-Etienne from June 27 to 29, 2022, as part of the Platform for Artificial Intelligence (PFIA).
The French Association for Artificial Intelligence (AFIA), a non-profit association under the French Law of 1901, aims to promote and foster the development of artificial intelligence in its various forms, to bring together and grow the French AI community, and to ensure its visibility.
It has set up the Plate-Forme Intelligence Artificielle (PFIA) which aims to bring together researchers, industrialists and students around conferences and workshops dedicated to Artificial Intelligence. This event, originally organized every two years, alternating with the French-speaking congress on Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (RFIA) has taken place since 2017 each year in a different city. It will be organized by the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne, from June 27 to July 1, and will take place at the Convention Center of this city. It will host eight conferences including the CNIA during the first three days.
The National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (CNIA)
The CNIA aims to address research, technological and societal issues related to the use of AI, across all disciplines of AI:
- heuristic research and problem solving,
- uncertainty and artificial intelligence,
- logic, satisfiability and constraint satisfaction,
- machine learning,
- extraction, knowledge engineering and management,
- knowledge representation and reasoning,
- planning, control,
- decision support,
- causality,
- autonomous agents and multi-agent systems,
- pattern recognition and computer vision,
- automatic processing of natural languages and speech, information retrieval,
- interactions with humans,
- perception and robotics,
- AI and web,
- human learning computing environments and distance learning,
- responsible AI, trusted AI (including explicability, certification, fairness, …),
- ethics of AI,
- law and AI,
- AI and society,
- AI & X (X= health, environment, energy, transportation, defense, agriculture, materials, …).
It launched a call for papers at the beginning of the year on these themes, but other fields of research could also be considered. Submissions have been closed since May 20th and the selected papers will be presented during the event in Saint-Etienne, along with the latest advances of the AFIA.
In addition, CNIA will host one or more “France@International” sessions, dedicated to presentations of recent advances of the French community accepted in the major and general AI conferences that are AAAI 2022 and IJCAI-ECAI 2022.
