AutoAI-FM 2026
AutoAI Meets Foundation Models
The AutoAI-FM 2026 workshop explores the intersection of Automated Artificial Intelligence (AutoAI) and foundation models, including large language models (LLMs), aiming to foster research that integrates these two paradigms to enhance performance, efficiency, and safety in AI systems. It focuses on how AutoAI methods can optimize foundation models for tasks like fine-tuning, routing, and agentic systems, while also leveraging foundation models to advance AutoAI in areas such as in-context learning and benchmarking.

Policies worth checking twice
- The review process is single blind.
- Full papers are reviewed by at least three reviewers and evaluated based on technical soundness, readability, and novelty.
- Hot-off-the-press papers are evaluated based on relevance to the workshop and the quality of the original publication venue.
- Submissions are allowed to use LLMs for assistance in writing, but authors are responsible for all content.
- Hallucinated references and facts will lead to desk rejection.
- Papers must use the IJCAI author kit.
