Call for Papers @ AAAI-25 Workshop, MARW: Multi-Agent AI in the Real-World Workshop

[barund...@gmail.com]

We are excited to announce the first MARW: Multi-Agent AI in the Real-World Workshop at the 39th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-25) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. If you are interested in Multi-Agent AI, we invite you to submit your paper (short, long, special, and survey tracks) and share it with the AI Agents community.

Introduction
The advent of AI Agents in real-world decision making applications has made it important to ground the knowledge of AI Agents research focusing on Human-AI and AI-AI interaction. Such AI Agents can be personalized to assist humans in day-to-day tasks and can help improve planning, reasoning, navigation with AI models, especially large models to serve many use cases and are capable of taking actions in order to perform tasks aligned to humans’ goals.

Important Dates

• Paper Submission Deadline: November 25th, 2024 (Anywhere on Earth).
  
• Notification to Authors: December 12th, 2024.
  
• Date of Workshop: March 3rd, 2025.

Topics

The focus of this AAAI workshop is to highlight evolving AI Agents research based on many Machine Learning (ML), Game Theory (GT) and Operations Research (OR) paradigms such as:

1. Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning 
   
2. Multi-Agent Imitation Learning
   
3. Multi-Agent Meta Learning
   
4. Multi-Agent Self-Supervised Learning
   
5. Multi-Agent Semi-Supervised Learning
   
6. Game Theory
   
7. Computational Social Choice
   
8. Multi-Task Learning
   
9. Goal-Conditioned Learning 
   
10. Transfer Learning
    
11. Continual Learning and Open-Ended Learning
    
12. Curriculum Learning
    
13. Theoretical Research on AI Agents for real world deployment 
    
14. Any other ML/GT/OR agentic paradigms
    

Research papers at this AAAI workshop can highlight AI Agents research in real-world applications like:

1. Robotics 
   
2. Augmented Reality
   
3. Self-Driving Cars
   
4. Fitness 
   
5. Web Agents
   
6. Supply Chain Orchestration
   
7. Climate Conservation
   
8. Recommender Systems
   
9. E-Commerce and Advertising
   
10. Any other Agentic Applications in the real world

Submission

We welcome paper contributions for the following submission tracks:

• TRACK 1: Short Research Paper Track (4 pages)
  
• TRACK 2: Long Research Paper Track (8 pages)
  
• TRACK 3: Special Research Paper Track for Multimodal Agents in the Real World (4-8 pages)
  
• TRACK 4: Survey Paper Track (4-8 pages)
  

Accepted survey papers will be consolidated by the academic-research industry coalition of AI Agents researchers for a joint survey paper submission to JMLR.

There will be best paper awards in each track.

Papers must follow AAAI-25 formatting guidelines and can be submitted to our OpenReview site https://openreview.net/group?id=AAAI.org/2025/Workshop/MARW. More details can be found on the MARW website.

MARW is non-archival, so please feel free to submit papers that will be submitted to other conferences.

Publication and Attendance

Accepted papers will be posted on the website. The authors of each accepted paper will have an opportunity to showcase their research to the AI Agents community on Monday, March 3rd. At least one author from each accepted paper is expected to attend.

Details for AAAI-25 registration can be found at https://aaai.org/conference/aaai/aaai-25/registration.
