It is a high-level peer-reviewed international conference covering all areas of Artificial Intelligence, traditionally held in Mexico. The conference is organized by the Sociedad Mexicana de Inteligencia Artificial (SMIA) and hosted by Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Aplicadas y en Sistemas (IIMAS). The scientific program includes keynote lectures, paper presentations, tutorials, panels, and workshops. This year the MICAI´s conference will be placed at Mérida, Yucatán.

All previous editions of MICAI were published in Springer LNAI (WoS, Scopus, EI). At past MICAI events, extended versions of a considerable number of the LNAI papers were invited to special issues of journals, including ISI JCR-indexed journals. Recent MICAI events received over 300–400 submissions from over 40 countries each, with acceptance rate around 25% for the main session.

Publication: Papers accepted for long oral presentation will be published by Springer in a volume of the series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI). Best papers awards will be granted to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Special issues of journals are anticipated for best papers. Extended versions of selected papers are expected to be invited to special issues of journals, including ISI JCR-indexed journals. Traditionally at MICAI, the results of the SMIA Best Thesis in Artificial Intelligence Contest are announced.

The registration fee includes one paper only (in any of the proceedings volumes or journal issues derived from the conference). If one author has more than one accepted paper, in order for the papers to be published the fee is to be paid for each of them independently. If you pay via bank transfer or PayPal, you should add the bank fees, so the amount that you will pay will be higher.

Note that the page limit for Springer LNAI and RCS publication options is 12 pages; for each additional page a small fee is to be paid. We encourage you to pay this small fee and not to sacrifice the quality of your paper by shortening it. If paying this small additional fee is a problem for you (why?), please contact us. For other journal (other than LNAI or RCS) publication options, there is no page limit (within reasonable), so no additional fee is to be paid.

Payment options: Bank transfer (preferred for Mexican authors)
Please transfer the fee to any of the following accounts in Mexican pesos:
Bank: BBVA Bancomer, Account: 0194625285, CLABE: 012180001946252858,
Beneficiary: Sociedad Mexicana de Inteligencia Artificial, A.C.
Credit card or PayPal payment (from abroad)

See a description here. If you pay from abroad, please make sure that the complete fee is deposited to our account; i.e., if there is any transfer fee, please add it to your payment.

Call for papers

Original research papers written in english are requested. The submissions must not have been previously published or be under review for another conference or journal. Only complete and finished papers will be reviewed, not abstracts. After your paper is accepted you will have a chance to improve it according the comments of the reviewers, but the reviewers will assume that the text that they are reading is the text that is to be published, with the only changes they explicitly request (as opposed to reviewing a draft or abstract). In particular, the papers must be submitted in the required format. We reserve the right to reject without review the submissions that do not follow the format guidelines.

Guide for authors

Submissions are received electronically. The submission and reviewing procedure are handled by the CMT system. To submit a paper:

Submit here

Submission of the paper assumes that at least one author will register at the conference and present an accepted paper or poster. Full registration fee should be paid for each accepted paper.

Templates. Please see the guidelines for a detailed list of requirements.

Size. Registration fee for authors includes publication of a paper of up to 12 pages, though more pages can be used for a small additional fee. We strongly encourage authors to use as many pages as really necessary for an excellent paper: longer papers have better impact and receive more citations. Do not sacrifice the quality of your paper to squeeze it into the page limit.

For each page that exceeds this limit small extra fee of USD 10 will be charged. If your page exceeds 20 pages, please contact the organizers first. The additional fee is charged for the pages exceeding the page limit in either the version submitted for review or in the camera-ready version, whichever is greater. In particular, you must not shorten the camera-ready version in comparison with the version submitted for review unless the reviewers required this (contact us if you feel you should do shorten it; in any case this would not reduce the fee). However, we encourage you to use as many pages as you really need for an excellent paper, even if you will pay a very small fee for it -- that it, we recommend you not to sacrifice clarity and completeness of your paper for the page limit.

Double blind review policy. The review procedure is double blind. Thus the papers submitted for review must not contain the authors' names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose the authors' identity (this information is to be restored in the camera-ready version upon acceptance). In particular, in the version submitted for review please avoid explicit auto-references, such as "in [1] we show" -- consider "in [1] it is shown". I.e., you may cite your own previous works provided that it is not deducible from the text that the cited work belongs to the authors. When citing your own previous work, please keep the names, but use third person (or no mention of the authors) in the reference:

Incorrect: In [1] we have shown …
[1] , Automatic Syntactic Analysis Based on Selectional Preferences, Springer, 2018.

Correct: In [1] it was shown …
[1] A. Gelbukh, H. Calvo. Automatic Syntactic Analysis Based on Selectional Preferences, Springer, 2018.

The Mexican Society on Artificial Intelligence (SMIA) invites Mexican students presently enrolled in doctorate programs either in Mexico or abroad to participate in the Doctoral Consortium at the 22th edition of the Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (MICAI 2023, [1]), to be held on November 13 to 18, 2023 in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.

The consortium offers a limited number of students the opportunity of presenting their work advances to receive evaluation and feedback from notorious researchers (advisers) and fellow participating students. The main objective of this forum is to allow the students to benefit from evaluations and discussions related to their particular research projects. This forum will also allow the students to know more about the research community on Artificial Intelligence in Mexico and identify the different research areas in order to promote scientific collaboration in a new generation of researchers. Finally, the consortium will enable communication and knowledge interchange between the Mexican industry and the research community.

The invitation is open to all doctorate program students with an approved research topic in Computer Science and with enough time to obtain the degree in order to be able to benefit from feedback. Interested students must send by e-mail to either Doctoral Consortium chairs the following information in a single PDF file:
