  • Computational Intelligence 

  • Computer Vision 

  • Constraints, Satisfiability, and Optimization 

  • Games and Virtual Environments 

  • Heuristic Search 

  • Human Aspects in AI 

  • Human Computer Interaction 

  • Information Retrieval and Filtering 

  • Knowledge Representation and Reasoning 

  • Machine Learning 

  • Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications 

  • Natural Language Processing 

  • Planning and Scheduling 

  • Robotics 

  • Safe, Explainable, and Trustworthy AI 

  • Semantic Technologies 

  • Uncertainty in AI

The scientific program of AI Day 2025 is organized by the Finnish Artificial Intelligence Society FAIS (Suomen tekoälyseura STeS). 

IMPORTANT DATES

  • Submission deadline: September 5, 2025

  • Notifications: September 15, 2025

  • Registration for presenters: September 16 to October 5

  • AI Day: November 13, 2025

AUTHOR GUIDELINES

The focus of the scientific program is in communicating forefront research of the Finnish AI research community. Submissions from outside Finland are not considered. 

There are two submission categories:

  • Posters, submitted as a 1-page abstract (or a longer paper) 

  • Talks/Posters, submitted as a full paper that has been published in or submitted to, or will be submitted to an international conference in or after 2025. The program committee chooses a subset of the papers for presentation as a talk, and the rest of the accepted submissions will be presented as posters. 

As the submitted abstracts/papers will only be used in selecting the posters and the talks, the submissions can be in any paper style. The only accepted file format is PDF.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The submission deadline is September 5, 2025. Late submissions will not be considered. 

As there will be no published formal proceedings, submitting work for presentation at AI Day 2025 will not disqualify the work from being submitted and published at other forums.

WHERE AND HOW TO SUBMIT

Submissions are through the Microsoft CMT website. Register for Microsoft CMT and submit a single PDF file together with the required metadata by September 5.

  • Tapio Pahikkala, University of Turku 

  • Ilkka Pölönen, University of Jyväskylä 

  • Jussi Rintanen, Aalto University (Chair) 

  • Rebekah Rousi, University of Vaasa 

The submissions will be screened for suitability, with an emphasis on scientific relevance in terms of AI research and interest to the Finnish AI research community. A key aim in the selection of presentations is to obtain a balanced scientific program covering the various AI research directions pursued in Finland. 

Detailed instructions on the final form of scientific presentations will be later provided to authors of accepted presentations.
