The National Conferenceon Artificial Intelligence(CNIA), supported by the AFIA Board of Directors, is intended for the entire AI research community. It is a forum to strengthen the links and interactions between the different sub-disciplines of AI and the disciplines using AI. CNIA allows to present the latest advances in AI and will take place this year in Saint-Etienne from June 27 to 29, 2022, as part of the Platform Artificial Intelligence (PFIA). As such, CNIA encourages submissions at the frontier between AI sub-branches, as well as submissions at the frontier between AI and other disciplines. PFIA is a platform that hosts other specialized conferences on some of these topics as we discussed in a previous article on the RJCIA 2022. Any contribution that falls under one of these themes can be submitted to either the specialized conference or to CNIA, but not both.
As AI is now at the heart of many developments, it is important to have a forum that brings together all actors interested in AI. The objective of CNIA is to address both research issues, technological issues 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, ...).
CNIA also invites:
  • Submissions of articles presenting an overview or synthesis of a sufficiently recent field that is neither too narrow nor too broad;
  • Prospective papers presenting ideas and visions that encourage the community to pursue new avenues of research (new problems, new areas of application, new methodologies). Authors must be able to convince the audience that the topic is interesting and promising, and must relate it to the state of the art.
Important dates:
  • Paper submission: March 18, 2022
  • Notification to authors: April 29, 2022
  • Receipt of final drafts: May 20, 2022
  • Conference dates: June 27 - June 29, 2022
Finally, CNIA will host one or more "France@International" sessions that will be 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. AFIA/CNIA will contact directly the authors of these publications.
