   Artificial Intelligence and Theorem Proving
                     AITP 2020
        March 22-27, 2020, Aussois, France

            http://aitp-conference.org/2020

              Deadline: December 3, 2019
 https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aitp2020

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.
- 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 and mathematics, 
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.

LOCATION AND PRICE

The conference will take place from March 22 to March 27 2020 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 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
