AI top-Level Meeting list

Commentary on meetings in the AI field
Note: This article is written by Daniel of Sayuri BBS
The first Class:
Today first talk about AI inside tier-1 conferences, in fact, basically is AI inside everyone more recognized top
Conference. Alphabetical order of the same points as below.


IJCAI (1+): Ai's best comprehensive conference, beginning in 1969, opens every two years, odd years. Because AI is really
, so although each session is basically able to record more than 100 (now to more than 200), but in each area of the few
, like machine learning, computer vision so big field every time probably also about 10 articles, so difficult
Very large. But from the hiring rate is not too low, basically about 20%, because the insiders will weigh weight, no hope
Don't waste reviewer time. Recent articles from the mainland of China to international conferences are like a tidal wave, and because the country
There are very few self-checking groups, so many meetings in complain say China's low-quality articles are a serious impediment to
PC's productivity. In this case, it is estimated that the recruitment rate for international conferences will be lowered in the years to come. In addition, the previous
IJCAI is not poster, in 03, in order to reduce the number of people killed by manslaughter, the increase of 2 pages of paper poster. Worth A
The IJCAI is made up of "Ijcai Inc.", which looks like a company. Sponsored (and of course not actually the company actually is
A few prizes at each meeting, the two most important of which are IJCAI excellence
Award and computer
& Thoughts Award, the former is a lifetime achievement award, one person at a time, basically the highest award of AI (interestingly, to
Of the 6 people who won the Turing Award for the main business, 2 have not yet received the award, and the latter was awarded to young scientists under the age of 35,
One person at a time. The award-winning speeches of these two prizes are a highlight of each ijcai. In addition, IJCAI's PC member
Equivalent to the other meeting area chair, the power is very large, because the PC member to find reviewer to judge, and not
PC member like the General Conference is actually reviewer. In order to restrict this power, IJCAI's peer review process is every
The article assigns 2-bit PC member, primary PC member to find 3-bit reviewer, second PC member to find a bit.


AAAI (1): Annual Meeting of the American Society of Artificial Intelligence aaai. is a good meeting, but its grade is unstable and can be given to
1+, can also give 1-or, in general, I give it "1". This is because its opening is entirely subject to IJCAI constraints: every year
Open, but if this year's IJCAI is held in North America, then it will be stopped. So, even years because there is no ijcai, it
Is the best AI comprehensive meeting, but because the appeal is after all smaller than IJCAI, especially the Europeans to hold AAAI field than
IJCAI much less (in fact Asians are also), so than IJCAI or a little weaker, basically between 1 and 1+; In the odd
For several years, if Ijcai were not in North America, AAAI would naturally become a lower-level conference than IJCAI (1-or so), for example, 2005
Both Ijcai and AAAI, two meetings were coordinated, so that IJCAI's hiring notice time than AAAI
Deadline a few days earlier, so IJCAI lost article can be cast to AAAI. IJCAI PC Chair during peer review also
In the urge, said everyone must be fast, because AAAI over there has been worried about IJCAI hiring notice late AAAI on the trouble
The.


COLT (1): This is the best meeting of computational Learning Theory, hosted by ACM, held annually. The theory of computational learning can basically
As a cross between theoretical computer science and machine learning, so this will be seen by some as a meeting of theoretical computer science
It's not the AI's. A friend of mine made a wonderful depiction of it in one sentence: "A small group of mathematicians in a meeting." Because
Colt's field is small, so the annual meeting is basically those people. Here's an interesting thing, because lately
There are too many meetings in the country, and many meetings are lncs/lnai out of the proceedings, Lncs/lnai has basically been engaged in
Smelly, but unfortunately, there are some good meetings in Lncs/lnai, such as Colt.


CVPR (1): One of the best meetings of computer vision and Pattern recognition, IEEE hosted, held annually. Although the topic
There is computer vision, but the individual thinks its pattern recognition tastes a bit heavier. In fact, it's supposed to be the best pattern recognition.
In computer vision, there is a ICCV equivalent. The IEEE has always had a tendency to make it a "grand event", a calendar
Some of the history has been a very good from the quality will become a "grand event". CVPR have to go this way. These years
There are quite a few articles on the record. Recently responsible for the CVPR conference TC chair wrote that for this community, let good
Is it worse to be killed by manslaughter than by bad people, so are we trying to reduce the chance of a good person being shot? So I guess it's clear
Years or the year after the CVPR will expand the Recruit.






ICCV (1): Introduced CVPR when said, computer vision is one of the best. IEEE sponsored, held annually.


ICML (1): One of the best sessions in machine learning. It is now hosted by IMLS and held annually. See the section on Nips
Shaoxing.


NIPS (1): One of the best sessions on Neural computing, hosted by NIPS, is held annually. It is worth noting that this will be every
The venue is the same, formerly the United States of Denver, is now Vancouver, Canada; And it's the end of the year meeting that will open
The 2nd year after the end of the proceedings, that is to say, NIPS ' 05 of the proceedings are 06 out. The name of the meeting was "advances
In Neural information processing Systems ", so, with ICML\ECML such as" Standard "machine science
Nips, there is a considerable amount of neuroscience in the school, and there is a certain distance from machine learning. But since the meeting
The main content is machine learning, or is closely related to machine learning, so many people regard nips as a machine learning party
One of the best meetings in the area. The meeting was largely controlled by Michael Jordan's grandchildren, so
People in Jordan, it is not difficult to send nips, some may not be very strong work can be sent up, but the circle of
People outside, it is very difficult to send an article, because the gap left to "outsiders" is very small. So, to people outside of the Jordan system,
said that the hair nips more difficult than ICML. Other words
ICML more open, the small circle of influence is not as large as nips, so North American and European people are recognized, and nips some people (
In particular, some Europeans, including some of you, are determined not to contribute. This is certainly not a good thing for the Conference itself, but because
Jordan is so powerful that it doesn't seem to care too much. Recently, IMLS (International Society for Machine Learning) re-elected, qualified
The nominees included people who had written articles in Icml\ecml\colt for nearly three years, while Nips was excluded. Anyway, this
is a very good meeting.


ACL (n): The best meeting of computational linguistics/Natural Language processing, ACL (Association of
Computational linguistics), held every year.


KR: One of the best meetings in knowledge representation and reasoning, and, in fact, the best of traditional AI (logic-based AI)
One of the meetings. KR INC, now it's even.


Sigir: The best conference on Information retrieval, hosted by ACM, opens every year. This is going to be a smaller circle now.
. Information retrieval should not be AI, but because there is a growing use of machine learning, in recent years even a little machine science
The taste of the application conference, so put it in the list.


SIGKDD: The best conference on data Mining, hosted by ACM, opens every year. This meeting is a short history, after all,
Compared with other fields, data mining is just a penis and even a small nephew. It was hard to put it in the tier-1 a few years ago.
Face, on the one hand is a reputation far less than other top conference loud, on the other hand is relatively easy to be hired. But now
It should be a matter of no doubt that it was listed in Tier-1. Another: See the introduction of Sir and Lucky.


Uai: The name is "uncertainty in artificial intelligence", involving many aspects of representation \ Reasoning \ Learning, Auai
(Association of UAI), held every year.






The Second Class:
Tier-2 's meetings are not complete, I am familiar with the areas of the whole.


Aamas: The best meeting of the agent. But now the agent is a general concept, almost all
AI-related meetings all have this content, so the trend of aamas decline is very obvious.


ECCV: Computer vision is second only to the ICCV conference, as this area is growing rapidly and may be upgraded to 1-
To.


ECML: Machine learning is second only to ICML, and Europeans are keen to cheer, some think it's 1.
. I keep it a little bit, and still put it in the. As machine learning developed rapidly, the reputation of this meeting rose very
Obvious.


ICDM: Data mining is second only to SIGKDD, and is now equivalent to SDM. This will be only 5 years old, on
The speed of the lift is amazing. A few years ago ICDM was not as good as PAKDD, and now it has opened up a great distance.


SDM: Data mining is second only to SIGKDD's conference, and ICDM is now comparable. The foundation of Siam is very thick, but in
The effect in CS is smaller than that of ACM and IEEE, and the SDM is seen to be icdm over, but at least it is still quite.


Icaps (2): The best meeting on AI planning is a merger of previous international and European planning conferences. Because
For this field gradually become deserted, the impact is smaller than before.


ICCBR (2): The best meeting of case-based reasoning. Because the field is not too big, and has been half cold not hot,
So always stay on the 2.


Colling (2): Computational linguistics/Natural Language processing is second only to ACL, but the gap with ACL is more than ICCV-ECCV
and ICML-ECML much bigger.


Ecai (2): European Artificial Intelligence Conference, a long history, but because of the ijcai/aaai pressure, it is difficult to go up
.


ALT (Colt): A bit like the version of Tier-2, but because there is not much to calculate the theory of learning, do a good number of
As for the group, basically to the colt, so there are a lot of Alt is not the content of computational learning theory.


EMNLP: A good meeting in computational linguistics/natural Language processing. Some people think that the colling is comparable, but
I think it's going to be a little weaker.


ILP (+): Inductive logic Program design best meeting. But because many other meetings have ILP content,
So it can only keep the 2-position.


PKDD (+): Data Mining conference in Europe, currently in the 4th row of Data Mining conference. The Europeans want to lift it up.
, so these years have been bundled with ECML, hoping to borrow ECML bring it up. But because of ICDM and SDM, this
It's not quite possible. So this year's PKDD and ECML, although still open together, but have been independently peer review (formerly can
At the same time cast two meeting, the author can declare priority by which will consider, if ECML can not also be pkdd accept).




The third Class:
The list is not complete. In addition, because the AI related meetings are very many, so can be listed in the tier-3 is good, basically can enter
To the top 30% of all AI conferences


ACCV: Asia's computer Vision Conference is good at the Asia-Pacific Conference.


DS: A Japanese-initiated conference that is close to data mining.


ECIR: The European Information Retrieval conference, a few years ago, was just a British information retrieval conference.


Ictai: IEEE's most important artificial intelligence conference, partial application, is a typical of the IEEE run rotten. of the previous
Quality is still good, but the longer the reputation is worse, the worse it seems to continue to decline, now its
It's not too much to live with.


PAKDD: Asia-Pacific Data Mining Conference, currently ranked 5th in the Data Mining conference.


ICANN: Europe's Neural network conference, from quality, is the best in neural networking meetings, but this field
People do not attach importance to the Conference, in this area it is less important than IJCNN.


Ajcai (3): Australia's comprehensive AI conference, at the national/regional level AI conference is good.


CAI (3): Canada's comprehensive AI conference is good at the national/regional AI Conference.


CEC (3): One of the most important conferences in evolutionary computing, the event type. Ijcnn/cec/fuzz-ieee these three meetings are counted
The most important meeting in terms of intelligence or soft computing, which often opens together, is called Wcci (world
Congress on Computational Intelligence). But this field is not quite the same as the other branches of CS, and
Similar to other disciplines, only pay attention to the journal, do not pay attention to the Conference, so the recruitment rate is often around 85%, the article recorded both
Quality is a very high paper, but also a beginner's work.


Fuzz-ieee (3): The most important meeting of the Blur, the event type, see the introduction of CEC.


GECCO (3): One of the most important conferences in evolutionary computing, comparable to the CEC, the event type.


ICASSP (3): One of the most important speech-related meetings, the people in this area are not very care meetings.


ICIP (3): One of the most famous conferences in image processing, the event type.


ICPR (3): One of the most famous meetings in pattern recognition, the event type.


Iea/aie (3): Artificial intelligence Application Conference. Usually only a few articles are nominated for a general meeting to nominate excellent papers.
is already a very high honor, this will be very interesting, each time 1, 20 of outstanding paper nominations, specifically engaged in a few
The session to be nominated paper report, it is very lively.


IJCNN (3): The most important meeting and event type of neural network, see the introduction of CEC.


IJNLP (3): A relatively famous conference in computational linguistics/natural Language processing.


Pricai (3): Asia-Pacific Integrated AI conference, although history is not short, but because it is better or more comprehensive
Meeting too many, so it's hard to rise.
