The IJCAI Computer and Thought Award, the Research Excellence Award, and
the John McCarthy Award are among the highest recognitions any AI
researcher may receive. The call for the 2017 awards is now open, and
nominations are warmly welcomed.
AWARD FOR RESEARCH EXCELLENCE
The Research Excellence award is given to a scientist who has carried
out a program of research of consistently high quality throughout an
entire career yielding several substantial results. Past recipients of
this honor are the most illustrious group of scientists from the field
of Artificial Intelligence.
COMPUTERS AND THOUGHT AWARD
The Computers and Thought Award is presented at IJCAI conferences to
outstanding young scientists in artificial intelligence. The award was
established with royalties received from the book, Computers and
Thought, edited by Edward Feigenbaum and Julian Feldman. It is currently
supported by income from IJCAI funds. Candidates must be no more than 35
years old on January 1, 2017.
JOHN McCARTHY AWARD
This award is intended to recognize established mid-career researchers
that have built up a major track record of research excellence in
artificial intelligence. Recipients of the award will have made
significant contributions to the research agenda in their area and will
have a first-rate profile of influential research results. The award is
named for John McCarthy (1927-2011), who is widely recognized as one of
the founders of the field of artificial intelligence. As well as giving
the discipline its name, McCarthy made fundamental contributions of
lasting importance to computer science in general and artificial
intelligence in particular, including time-sharing operating systems,
the LISP programming languages, knowledge representation, common-sense
reasoning, and the logicist paradigm in artificial intelligence. The
award was established with the full support and encouragement of the
McCarthy family.
HOW TO NOMINATE
Nominations MUST be made online via ONLINE FORM. As in 2015/16, the
nominations process this year has been greatly simplified - details are
available at http://ijcai-awards.com. No self-nomination is accepted for
all three awards above. Qiang Yang ([email protected]) is chairing the
awards committee this year and is available to answer questions.
Nominations must be received no later than 1 December 2016.
