The 20th edition of the Meetings of Young Researchers in Artificial Intelligence (RJCIA'2022) calls for contributions. It will take place on June 30 and July 1, 2022, the last days of the next edition of the Platform for Artificial Intelligence (PFIA'2022), which will be held from June 27 to July 1, 2022 in Saint-Etienne. The conference is supported by the AFIA Board of Directors. 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 (AI) in its various forms, to gather and grow the French AI community, and to ensure its visibility. As in previous years, it will organize "La Plate-Forme Intelligence Artificielle", 2022 edition in this case, (PFIA'2022) where researchers, industrialists and students will gather around conferences and workshops dedicated to Artificial Intelligence. This platform, which is aimed at the entire French-speaking community, will take place from June 27 to July 1, 2022. It is in this context that the last two days of the RJCIA will take place.

The RJCIA 2022

The RJCIA are intended for young researchers in AI, doctoral students or those who have received their doctorate less than a year ago. The objective of this event is twofold:
  • to allow young researchers preparing a thesis in Artificial Intelligence, or having recently defended it, to meet and present their work, and thus to form contacts with other young researchers and to broaden their perspectives by exchanging with specialists in other fields of artificial intelligence
  • train young researchers to prepare a paper, revise it to take into account the comments of the program committee, and present it to an audience of specialists, thus allowing them to obtain feedback from researchers in their field or in related fields

Conference themes

Any contribution related to Artificial Intelligence is welcome. The contributions can be part of the following indicative and non-exhaustive list of themes:
  • 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,
  • autonomous agents and multi-agent systems,
  • pattern recognition and computer vision,
  • automatic processing of natural languages,
  • interaction with humans,
  • robotics,
  • AI and web,
  • Human Learning Computing Environments and distance learning,
  • responsible AI,
  • explainability,
  • certification, ethics and AI.

Important dates

  • Paper submission: March 1st, 2022
  • Notification to authors: April 7, 2022
  • Receipt of final versions: May 5, 2022
  • Conference dates: June 30 and July 1, 2022

Submissions

Paper proposals may describe:
  • Research papers that make a new and significant contribution to the state of the art;
  • State of the art papers, which identify issues and/or propose initial avenues of work in a clearly established context.

Types of submissions

Two types of submissions are accepted:
  • long articles of 6 to 8 pages intended for oral presentation;
  • short articles of 2 pages intended to be used as support for posters or demonstrations.
Submissions are not subject to any exclusivity: papers submitted to international conferences or workshops may also be submitted to the RJCIA, especially for the purpose of getting more feedback. The official language of the conference is French, but submissions may be made in either French or English, provided the submission format is followed.

Submission format and procedure

Authors are invited to submit paper proposals in PDF format only, and conform to the PFIA 2022 double-column style:
  • Article style in LaTeX format,
  • Article style in Word format,
  • Example and instructions in PDF format.
Authors are invited to submit their proposals (pdf of maximum 8 pages) via EasyChair: https: //easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rjcia2022 Translated from Appel à Communication : Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs en Intelligence Artificielle (RJCIA'2022)

Our articles will then appear first in Google Top Stories.
