                     CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

   Artificial Intelligence and Theorem Proving,
                            AITP 2018
                 March 25-30, 2018, Aussois, France

                 Deadline: December 3, 2017
      https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aitp2018

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.
    - Common-sense reasoning and reasoning in science.
    - Alignment and joint processing of formal, semi-formal, 
       and informal libraries.
    - 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 and
mathematics, modern AI and big-data methods, and several sessions with
contributed talks. The focused sessions will be based on invited talks
and discussion oriented.

CONTRIBUTED TALKS
We solicit contributed talks. Selection of those will be based on
extended abstracts/short papers of 2 pages formatted with easychair.cls.
Submission is via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aitp2018).

DATES
Submission deadline: December 3, 2017
Author notification: January 10, 2018

LOCATION AND PRICE
The conference will take place from March 25 to March 30 2018 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
Parrachée", 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 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.
