The Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI) is one of the premier international conferences on research related to learning and reasoning in the presence of uncertainty. The conference has been held every year since 1985. The upcoming 38th edition (UAI 2022) will be an in-person conference with virtual elements taking place in Eindhoven, The Netherlands from 1 to 5 August 2022.

We invite papers that describe novel theory, methodology and applications related to artificial intelligence, machine learning and statistics. Papers will be assessed in a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, based on the criteria of technical correctness, novelty, clarity of writing, and potential impact. Authors are strongly encouraged to make code and data available.

All accepted papers will be presented in poster sessions and spotlight presentations (physically or remotely). Selected papers will have longer presentations and an assigned discussant to foster debate. All accepted papers will be published in a volume of Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR).
