ACCEPTED PAPERS
SPEAKERS
TUTORIALS
The Association for Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence is a non-profit organization focused on organizing the annual Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI) and, more generally, on promoting research in pursuit of advances in knowledge representation, learning and reasoning under uncertainty. The most recent UAI conference was the 34th conference, UAI-2018 in Monterey, California, USA. Join our Facebook page or add yourself to the UAI Mailing list to keep updated on announcements and relevant AI news.
Principles and applications developed within the UAI community have been at the forefront of research in Artificial Intelligence. The UAI community and annual meeting have been primary sources of advances in graphical models for representing and reasoning with uncertainty.
Accessing Proceedings
The UAI conference has been held every year since 1985. Hardcopy versions of the proceedings can be purchased through Brightdoc.
Most UAI conference papers are available in electronic form at the online UAI proceedings archive.
- Collections of papers from the first six UAI conferences, 1985-1990, were published as edited books by North-Holland under the title Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (1-6).
- Between 1991 and 2003, proceedings were published by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and were distributed at the conference by Morgan Kaufmann.
- Since 2004, the UAI proceedings have been published by the AUAI Press, the Association for Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence’s own press.
