Accepted papers shall be published as part of the “Proceedings of the AAAI Symposium Series” by the AAAI Library. Authors of accepted papers may be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue of the Neurosymbolic Artificial Intelligence journal.

  • Non-paper contributions: Journal article presentations allow researchers to present and discuss related, recently published, peer-reviewed journal articles. Posters enable sharing of early-stage work, preliminary results, or emerging ideas. Industry tutorials offer a venue for showcasing applied research contributions, systems, or demonstrations. Discussion proposals invite well-defined topics intended to stimulate focused debate or collaborative exploration. Non-paper contributions are submitted as an abstract (up to 2 pages including references) and will be reviewed by the organizing committee for topical fit.

AAAI Author Kit
AAAI EasyChair Submission

At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered and present the paper at the symposium that the publication will be part of the symposium proceedings.

1. Writing—Layout

All submissions must reflect the formatting instructions provided in the AAAI Author Kit.

2. Writing—Title and Metadata

The submission title must be in an emphasizing style. Information on correctly emphasizing titles in English is available in the Wiki of MusicBrainz. Alternatively, some online title capitalization tools, such as «The Capitalizer» (limited basic rules; ad-free) or the «Title Case Converter» (extensive rules; ads), may be used. The indication of whether the contribution is a position or not should not be part of the title; instead, this should be mentioned in the abstract or introductory section of the paper. The title and all further metadata, including all authors’s names and affiliations, must be correct and consistent with the entries in EasyChair.

3. Submission

All submissions must be submitted through EasyChair, including the correct and consistent names and affiliations of all authors.

4. Review

Full, position, and short papers will be peer-reviewed by the program committee to ensure academic integrity—the symposium chairs will disclose the decision and the reviews to the authors. All non-paper abstracts will be reviewed and selected by the organizing committee.

5. Reviewer’s Comments

Authors should address the reviewer’s comments as best as possible. However, it is not scientifically acceptable to add additional information and results to the paper, which would require a further review. Authors are advised to find the right balance by considering the comments of the reviewer and an appropriate number of modifications.

6. Camera-ready Version of Papers

Paper authors should expect to receive an email invitation to submit their AAAI Camera Ready Copy (CRC) files. The invitation email will include instructions specific to AAAI’s official publications.

7. Proceedings of Papers

Accepted papers shall be published as part of the “Proceedings of the AAAI Symposium Series” by the AAAI Library. The proceedings will be available after the conference.

8. Preprint Policy

Authors are allowed to publish preprints without the AAAI copyright notice (i.e., not the AAAI-endorsed version) to preprint servers such as arXiv. However, authors are NOT allowed to publish the AAAI-endorsed preprints (with the AAAI copyright notice) to preprint servers.
