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.

This year AITP will be co-located with a meeting of WG5 of Cost Action European Research Network on Formal Proofs.

Topics

Sessions

There will be several focused sessions on AI for ATP, ITP, mathematics, relations to general AI (AGI), 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. Most of the sessions will be scheduled in the afternoons to allow US participants.

Location, Prices and Further Local Information

The conference will take place from September 4 to September 9 2022 in the CNRS Paul-Langevin Conference Center located in the mountain village of Aussois in Savoy. Dominated by the "Dent Parrachée", 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 and food for the five days will be around 500 EUR (600 EUR was planned, but thanks to the EPN support registration is free). Online participation will be most likely for free but may be limited to relevant participants.

Arrival/Departure:

Aussois is less than 2h from the airports of Lyon, Geneve, Chambery, Annecy, Grenoble and Turin. There are trains and buses to Modane from these airports. Aussois is 8km 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 these airports / station can be found here and it is easy to get a taxi from Modane to Aussois and back.

The first meal is dinner on September 4 and the last meal is lunch on Friday September 9 . The planned departure of our bus from Modane to Aussois is at around 19:15 pm on Sunday, September 4 . The bus will wait for the TGV train from Paris arriving to Modane at 18:46. The train starts at 14:43 in Paris Gare de Lyon, and it also stops in Lyon-St Exupery at 16:39 and in Chambery-Challes-E at 17:44. The distance from Modane to Aussois is 8km and there are taxis and alternative buses.

We have not yet set the time for the departure of the bus after lunch on September 9 . This will be optimized based on your departure flights during the conference (but taking taxi back to Modane is easy). The center will close after our last session on Friday. If you want to stay for the weekend, the center recommends Hotel des Mottets which is 5 minutes from the center and their prices are very reasonable: https://www.hotel-lesmottets.com/ . If you registered, please fill in this Google form to indicate if you plan to take our bus to Modane, your food preferences, whom you want to share a room with, if you plan to stay longer, etc.

Funding

The travel and accommodation of a number of participants (approximately 17) will be supported by the Cost Action CA20111 - European Research Network on Formal Proofs.

If you want to be funded, you need to:

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.

The details of the funding allocation are still being clarified.
