         SECOND CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

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

            http://aitp-conference.org/2018

             Deadline: December 3, 2017

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 and machine learning for ATP, 
SMT, ITP and mathematics, a session on ATP/ITP Hammers, session on Formal 
Abstracts and natural language processing of mathematics, and several 
sessions with contributed talks. The focused sessions will be based on 
invited talks and discussion oriented.

Parrachée", one of the highest peaks of La Vanoise, Aussois is located
on a sunny plateau at 1500m 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.
