Submission

Paper Submission

Papers must be formatted in Springer's Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) camera-ready style template; see the Springer's author instructions page for details.

Submitted papers cannot exceed:

• 12 pages (including references) for regular papers
• 6 pages (including references) for short papers

Please do not include any information that possibly reveals the author's information in your submission due to blind review. Please also refer to the instructions on how to prepare your paper for blind review.

Submission System

All papers must be submitted electronically through the PRICAI-2025 paper submission system (will open soon), by the paper submission deadline listed above. We cannot accept submissions by e-mail or fax.

Authors will receive confirmation of receipt of their papers, including an ID number, shortly after submission. We will contact authors again only if problems are encountered with papers.

Use of AI Tools

"Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, do not currently satisfy Springer authorship criteria (imprint editorial policy link). Notably an attribution of authorship carries with it accountability for the work, which cannot be effectively applied to LLMs. Use of an LLM should be properly documented in the Methods section (and if a Methods section is not available, in a suitable alternative part) of the manuscript.

The use of an LLM (or other AI-tool) for "AI assisted copy editing" purposes does not need to be declared. In this context, we define the term "AI assisted copy editing" as AI-assisted improvements to human-generated texts for readability and style, and to ensure that the texts are free of errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation and tone. These AI-assisted improvements may include wording and formatting changes to the texts, but do not include generative editorial work and autonomous content creation. In all cases, there must be human accountability for the final version of the text and agreement from the authors that the edits reflect their original work."

Blind Review Instructions

Reviewing for the PRICAI Conference is blind to the identities of the authors. The first page, on which the paper body begins, should include the title and abstract, but not the acknowledgments and names or affiliations of the authors. The references should include all published literature relevant to the paper, including previous works of the authors, but should not include unpublished works.

When referring to one's own work, use the third person, rather than the first person. For example, say "Previously, Walsh [2] has shown that...," rather than "In our previous work [2] we have shown that...." Try to avoid including any information in the body of the paper or references that would identify the authors or their institutions. Such information may be added to the final camera-ready version for publication.

Policy Concerning Submissions to Other Conferences or Journals

PRICAI-2025 will not accept any paper that, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference. Authors are also required not to submit their papers elsewhere during PRICAI-2025's review period.

These restrictions apply only to journals and conferences, not to workshops and similar specialized presentations with a limited audience and without archival proceedings. The restrictions also do not apply to preprints posted only on arXiv. Authors will be required to confirm that their submissions conform to these requirements at the time of submission.

Review Process

Program committee members will identify papers they are qualified to review based on the information submitted electronically (the paper's title, keywords, and abstract). Their reviewing will be done blind to the identities of the authors and their institutions. The program committee's reviews will make recommendations to the program co-chairs. The program co-chairs will make all final decisions.

Publication

Accepted papers will be allocated 12 pages for regular papers, and 6 pages for short papers. See the camera-ready copy instructions above for the correct page limit. Final papers found to exceed page limits and or otherwise violating the instructions to authors will not be included in the proceedings. Authors will be required to transfer copyright of their paper to Springer.
