Submissions are invited for the 33rd International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, which is planned to be held in Jeju Island, South Korea, from August 3rd to August 9th, 2024.  Since 1969, IJCAI has remained the premier conference bringing together the international AI community to communicate the advances and achievements of artificial intelligence research.

Submissions to IJCAI 2024 should report significant, original, and previously unpublished results on any aspect of artificial intelligence. Papers on novel AI research problems, AI techniques for novel application domains, and papers that cross discipline boundaries within AI are especially encouraged.

A selection of the best papers submitted to IJCAI 2024 will be invited for a fast track in the Artificial Intelligence Journal and/or the Journal of AI Research.

Summary

    Papers must be no longer than 9 pages in total: 7 pages for the body of the paper and 2 pages for references.
    All authors must provide author information. All authors are expected to be available to review.
    Two-phase reviewing:  Every paper will receive two reviews in Phase 1. Papers not rejected in Phase 1 will receive additional reviews in Phase 2 and will be able to provide an author’s response. 
    Supplementary material (e.g. appendices, data, source code, resubmission information) is due one week after the paper deadline.
    Paper resubmissions from other conferences are welcome but authors are required to provide resubmission information, as described below.

New in 2024

Generative AI models, including Chat-GPT, BARD,  LLaMA, or similar LLMs, do not satisfy the criteria for authorship of papers published in IJCAI 2024. If authors use an LLM  in any part of the paper-writing process they assume full responsibility for all content, including checking for plagiarism and correctness of all text. 

We encourage papers that describe research on or involving LLMs. Text generated by an LLM as part of the paper’s methodology or experimental analysis is allowed but needs to be properly documented and described in the paper. 
General Information

Page limit:  Papers must be no longer than 9 pages in total: 7 pages for the body of the paper and 2 pages for references; an optional ethics statement can be placed either in the body of the paper or in the reference pages.  For accepted papers, the last two pages can also contain acknowledgements and an optional contribution statement.

Authors commit to reviewing: By submitting to the conference, each author volunteers to be entered into the pool of potential PC members/reviewers for IJCAI 2024 and may be asked to review papers for the conference. This does not apply to authors who have already agreed to contribute to IJCAI 2024 in some capacity (e.g., as PC/SPC members of the main conference or special tracks, area chairs, or members of the organizing committee) and authors who are not qualified to be IJCAI PC members (e.g., undergraduate students, junior graduate students, or researchers with a limited track record in AI). This requirement may be waived in a limited range of exceptional circumstances (researchers leaving academia, parental leave, etc.)

Separate deadline for technical appendix and resubmission information: Authors are given one week after the submission deadline to update their technical appendix and resubmission information.

Simplified procedure for resubmission information: Authors must declare whether their paper has been rejected from another peer-reviewed conference in the last 12 months before the submission. They will be requested to upload the latest rejected version (anonymized if necessary) with the reviewer’s comments; a cover letter responding to the reviews is optional. To avoid bias, the resubmission information will only be made available to reviewers after they submit their reviews. The program committee reserves the right to reject papers that fail to report resubmission information. Further, reviewers will be encouraged to check whether the resubmission addresses factual issues pointed out in the reviews of the previous version (e.g., typos, incorrect attribution of results, etc.) and to reject submissions that fail to do so.

Contribution statement: For accepted papers, the authors can include contribution information, explicitly indicating the contribution of each co-author to the paper.
