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
- AI and big-data methods in theorem proving and mathematics
- Collaboration between automated and interactive theorem proving, in particular their AI/ML aspects
- Common-sense reasoning and reasoning in science
- Alignment and joint processing of formal, semi-formal, and informal libraries, Formal Abstracts
- 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 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:
- Register REGISTRATION CLOSED
- Check the eligibility rules to know whether you can be funded.
- Register to EuroProofNet if not already done.
- until June 30 2022, 23:59 AoE email us (cezary.kaliszyk at uibk.ac.at) with the dates you will be attending, a quote of your flight/train/bus (screen capture is fine), the total cost of your flight/train/bus trip in Euros. Please include the information about your age, gender, university/laboratory/team, and position (student/PhD student/researcher) so we can take these into account according to the COST criteria.
- Notifications will be sent in the next 3 days. Members who will be funded will be chosen by taking into account the following criteria in order: importance wrt the research coordination objectives; inclusive target countries; age; gender; team with low resources; balance over the action life time between people, teams, countries and working groups.
- After the meeting, and within 2 weeks, upload on e-cost a copy of your flight/train tickets. Note, that the selected participants will have 2 weeks to accept the invitation sent from e-cost. If you do not accept the invitation on e-cost within the 2 weeks, you will not be able to be reimbursed.
- The support will be a flat rate of a little bit more than n*100 where n <= 5 is the number of nights.
- See also the EPN Reimbursement Rules.
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.
