Papers on novel AI research problems, on AI techniques for novel application domains, and papers that cross discipline boundaries within AI are especially encouraged. Key novelties this year: * Two phase reviewing process. Only papers that receive two sufficiently positive reviews during the first phase will proceed to the second full reviewing phase. * The program committee consists of PC members (reviewers), Senior PC members (meta-reviewers) and Area Chairs (ACs). * The author response (for papers in the second phase only) will be accessible to PCs, SPCs, and ACs. * There are separate tracks for “AI for Good” <https://ijcai-22.org/calls-ai-for-good/> and “AI, the Arts and Creativity” <https://ijcai-22.org/calls-creativity/>. The authors of papers submitted to IJCAI-ECAI 2022 are expected to contribute a limited number of reviews, if asked to. Moreover, IJCAI-ECAI 2022 is trialing a light-weight ethics review policy. It is recommended that papers working with sensitive data or on sensitive tasks include an ethics statement. Reviewers will be asked to flag glaring violations of ethical principles. Such flagged submissions will be reviewed by the Ethics Chair.
