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 42nd edition (UAI 2026) will be an in-person conference with virtual elements taking place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands from August 17th to August 21st, 2026.
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, whether claims are backed up convincingly, and clarity of writing. 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. All accepted papers will be published in a volume of Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR).
Papers should be submitted on the UAI 2026 OpenReview submission site. Please see the Submission Instructions for more details on how your manuscript should be formatted.
Note that we require having an OpenReview account to submit. It is strongly recommended that you sign-up for OpenReview with an institutional email address, so it can be activated immediately. If your institution email address is not recognized, please contact OpenReview support via their Feedback form.
We are looking forward to building an exciting program and we aim to make the most of the advantages that a hybrid conference can create.
