CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

Artificial Intelligence and Theorem Proving
AITP 2021
September 5-10, 2021, Aussois and online, France

http://aitp-conference.org/2021

Deadline: May 5, 2021
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aitp20210

BACKGROUND
Large-scale semantic processing and strong computer assistance of mathematics 
and science is our inevitable future. New combinations of AI and reasoning 
methods and tools deployed over large mathematical and scientific corpora will 
be instrumental to this task. The AITP conference is the forum for discussing 
how to get there as soon as possible, and the force driving the progress 
towards that.

TOPICS
- AI, machine learning and big-data methods in theorem proving and mathematics.
- Collaboration between automated and interactive theorem proving, in 
  particular their AI/ML aspects.
- Common-sense reasoning and reasoning in science, relations to general AI.
- Alignment and joint processing of formal, semi-formal, and informal 
  libraries, Formal Abstracts.
- Methods for large-scale computer understanding of mathematics and science.
- Combinations of linguistic/learning-based and semantic/reasoning methods
- Formal verification of AI and machine learning algorithms, explainable AI .
 
SESSIONS

There will be several focused sessions on AI for ATP, ITP, mathematics, 
physics, relations to general AI, Formal Abstracts, linguistic processing of 
mathematics/science, modern AI and big-data methods, and several sessions with 
contributed talks. The focused sessions will be based on invited talks and 
discussion oriented. Most of the sessions will be scheduled in the afternoons 
to allow US participants.

LOCATION AND PRICE

The conference will take place from September 5 to September 10 2021 online 
and physically in the CNRS Paul-Langevin Conference Center 
(https://www.caes.cnrs.fr/sejours/centre-paul-langevin/) located in the 
mountain village of Aussois in Savoy. Dominated by the "Dent Parrachee", one 
of the highest peaks of La Vanoise, Aussois is located on a sunny plateau at 
1500 m altitude, offering a magnificent panorama of the surrounding mountains 
and a direct access to the park of La Vanoise in summer and downhill ski slopes 
or cross country slopes in winter. The total price for accommodation, food and 
registration for the five days will be around 600 EUR.

ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE

Aussois is less than 2h from the airports of Lyon, Geneve, Chambery, Annecy, 
Grenoble and Turin. There are trains and buses from these airports. Aussois is 
7km from the Modane TGV station with direct trains from/to Paris. We will 
organize a bus for the participants from there to Aussois. Further buses to
