The Senior Member Presentation Track (SMPT) provides an opportunity for established researchers in the AI community to give a broad talk on a well-developed body of research, an important new research area, or a promising new topic. These presentations provide a big picture view, in contrast to regular papers, which may focus on a specific contribution. Senior members of AI are researchers who are well established in their research area.
Accepted presentations for AAAI-21 include the following:
