CPAIOR-22 is a conference that brings together researchers from Constraint Programming (CP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Operations Research (OR) to showcase how the integration of techniques from these fields advances the state-of-the-art in terms of techniques and challenging applications. Scholarships are available for students.
CPAIOR-22 starts with a one-day Master class on June 20 on the theme “Bridging the Gap between Machine Learning and Optimization,” where experts from universities and companies provide overviews of research in the field in tutorial-style lectures. The Master class is ideally suited for students and participants from academia and industry who want to familiarize themselves with the state-of-the-art in this exciting and quickly evolving area. The speakers are
- Brandon Amos (Facebook AI Research, USA)
- Priya Donti (Carnegie Mellon University, USA)
- Paul Grigas (University of California at Berkeley, USA)
- Tias Guns (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium)
- Bryan Wilder (Carnegie Mellon University and Harvard University, USA)
- Angela Zhou (UC Berkeley and University of Southern California, USA)
CPAIOR-22 continues with the presentations of the accepted papers and posters on June 21-23, supplemented by a social program (that includes an opening reception and a banquet) and three talks by invited speakers, namely
- Andre Cire (University of Toronto, Canada)
- Carla Gomes (Cornell University, USA)
- Vinod Nair (DeepMind, UK)
CPAIOR-22 is held on the smoke-free campus of the University of Southern California (USC), which is located next to Exposition Park, one of the major cultural centers of Los Angeles with several museums where one can, for example, experience the Space Shuttle Endeavour up close. USC is also just minutes away by public transportation from the center of Los Angeles with all its attractions.
For interested students, scholarships are available to cover part of the CPAIOR registration fee, travel costs, and accommodation costs, whether they just want to attend the Master class and/or conference or will present their research, including for students from underrepresented groups in computing and optimization, from small universities, and from countries with limited study or research opportunities. A limited number of dormitory rooms are available for CPAIOR-22 attendees on the USC campus, including shared and individual rooms, with preference given to students.
Attendees are strongly encouraged to attend in person to facilitate the exchange of ideas and social interactions. However, CPAIOR-22 also offers a virtual attendance option. It is expected that papers and posters will be presented in person. To register for CPAIOR-22 (and, for students, apply for a scholarship and the mentorship program), please visit
