Welcome to Canadian AI 2023
The 36th Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence (CANAI) took place in-person at McGill University (Montreal, Canada) from June 5 to 9, 2023.
Several awards were given to highly deserving candidates at this conference after careful scrutiny by members of the awards committees. Richard Zemel (Columbia University) received the Lifetime Achievement Award, Xin Wang (University of Calgary) received the Distinguished Service Award, Sriram Ganapathi Subramanian (University of Waterloo) received the Ph.D. Dissertation Award and Puyuan Liu (University of Alberta) received the MSc Thesis Award. Based on the reviewers’ comments and careful consideration of the paper's quality and contributions, the Best Student Paper Award was given to David Beauchemin and Richard Khoury for their paper titled RISC: Generating Realistic Synthetic Bilingual Insurance Contract. The Best Paper Award went to Paritosh Goyal, Chenyang Huang, Amine Trabelsi, and Osmar Zaïane for their paper titled Exploring Preferential Label Smoothing for Neural Network-based Classifiers.
We congratulate all the award winners for their outstanding contributions to AI research and knowledge dissemination.
Program
The full program is available here.
The event is collocated with the Computer and Robot Vision and CSCan conferences. These events (AI·CRV 2023) will bring together hundreds of leaders in research, industry, and government, as well as Canada's most accomplished students. They showcase Canada's ingenuity, innovation and leadership in intelligent systems and advanced information and communications technology. A single registration lets you attend any session in the colocated conferences, which are scheduled in parallel tracks.
Proceedings
The conference proceedings are published on PubPub, an open-source, privacy-respecting, and open access online platform. They are submitted to be indexed and abstracted in leading indexing services such as DBLP, ACM, Google Scholar.
