About AUAI

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 39th conference, UAI-2023 held in Pittsburgh. 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 in the individual conference links and at arxiv.

• 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.
• Since 2020, the UAI proceedings have been published by Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR).

The UAI Mailing List

The UAI mailing list is for discussion of topics related to the representation and management of uncertain information, especially but not exclusively as these issues arise within the context of Artificial Intelligence. This list also serves as a primary e-mail forum for the UAI community, as represented by those attending the Uncertainty in AI conference series, and for discussion of organizational matters related to that conference and to the community.

Postings discussing various uncertainty formalisms, annoucements (and abstracts) of new tech-reports or journal articles, or announcements of new public domain software are all fair game for this mailing list.
