Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence


The Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence is the name of an annual conference covering all areas of Artificial Intelligence, held in Mexico. The first MICAI conference was held in 2000. The conference is attended every year by about two hundred of AI researchers and PhD students and 500−1000 local graduate students.

Overview

MICAI is a high-level peer-reviewed international conference covering all areas of Artificial Intelligence. All editions of MICAI have been published in Springer Springer LNAI. Recent MICAI events received over 300 submissions from over 40 countries each. The conference's scientific program includes keynote lectures, paper presentations, tutorials, panels, posters, and workshops. MICAI is organized by the Mexican Society for Artificial Intelligence in cooperation with various national institutions.
