The 33rd Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence (Canadian AI 2020) will take place in Ottawa, Ontario, 13 May to 15 May, 2020. The event is collocated with the Computer and Robot Vision (CRV) conference. These events (AI.CRV 2020) will bring together hundreds of leaders in research, industry, and government, as well as Canada's most accomplished students. They showcase Canada's ingenuity, innovation and leadership in intelligent systems and advanced information and communications technology.
We invite papers that present original work in all areas of Artificial Intelligence, either theoretical or applied. Canadian AI 2020 welcomes submissions on topics including (but not limited to) search, planning, knowledge representation, reasoning, natural language processing, robotics and perception, multiagent systems, statistical learning, and deep learning. We expressly encourage work that cuts across technical areas or applies AI techniques in the context of important domains such as e-commerce, games, healthcare, sustainability, and transportation.
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. There will be an option during the submission process to indicate that a paper is a position paper.
Submission Guidelines
We invite submissions of both long and short papers. Long papers must be no longer than 12 pages, including references, formatted using the Springer LNCS/LNAI style. Short papers must be no longer than 6 pages, including references, in the LNAI style. We provide a sample, but encourage the use of the most up-to-date LaTeX2e style file available from Springer.
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. 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 rejected without review. 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.
- Long papers, up to 12 pages including references
- Short papers, up to 6 pages including references
- Position papers presenting evidence-based arguments for a particular point of view without necessarily presenting a new system.

Canadian AI is organized as part of the AI.CRV 2020 event.
Publication
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI). A paper will be accepted either as a long or as a short paper. Long papers will be allocated 12 pages while short papers will be allocated 6 pages in the proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will be allocated time for an oral presentation at the conference and will have the opportunity to present their work in a poster session. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference to present the work. The authors must agree to this requirement prior to submitting their paper for review.
Contact
All questions about submissions should be adressed to the conference co-chairs.
