AAAI Classic Paper award honors the author(s) of paper(s) deemed most influential, chosen from a specific conference year. Each year, the time period considered will advance by one year. The 2025 award will be given to the most influential paper(s) from the Twenty-Fourth Conference on Artificial Intelligence.</p> <p>Papers will be judged on the basis of impact, for example:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Started a new research (sub)area</li> <li>Led to important applications</li> <li>Answered a long-standing question/issue or clarified what had been murky</li> <li>Made a major advance that figures in the history of the subarea</li> <li>Has been picked up as important and used by other areas within (or outside of) AI</li> <li>Has been very heavily cited</li> </ul> <p>All members of the artificial intelligence community are encouraged to submit nominations for this award. Candidacy is not limited to AAAI members, nor to people still active in artificial intelligence. Posthumous awards will be considered.</p> <p>Nominations will be reviewed by the AAAI Awards Committee. Nominations are due September 20, 2024.</p> <p>The award will be presented at the AAAI-25 conference in Philadelphia, PA, USA. A total of $1,000 in travel support is available to enable the author(s) to travel to the conference to accept the award in person.</p> <p>For more information regarding these awards, please contact AAAI (<a href="mailto:awards@aaai.org">awards@aaai.org</a>).</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://aaaiforms.wufoo.com/forms/2025-aaai-classic-paper-award-nomination-form/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Classic Paper Award Nomination Form</a></li> </ul> </div></div> </div></div> <div class="wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-columns gb-layout-columns-1 one-column has-brand-color-5-background-color has-brand-color-6-color gb-columns-center alignfull" style="padding-top:2em;padding-right:2em;padding-bottom:4em;padding-left:2em"><div class="gb-layout-column-wrap gb-block-layout-column-gap-2 gb-is-responsive-column" style="max-width:1060px"> <div class="wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column"><div class="gb-block-layout-column-inner"> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2024</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><em>Classic Paper Recipients:</em> <strong>Brian Ziebart, Andrew Maas, Andrew Bagnell, Anind Dey</strong><br>Maximum Entropy Inverse Reinforcement Learning<br>For introducing entropy regularization to Reinforcement Learning that led to improvements in predictive accuracy of forecasting, imitation learning, decision making, and Human-AI alignment.</li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Past Recipients</h2> <p></p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2023</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><em>Classic Paper Recipients:</em> <strong>Kenny Daniel, Alex Nash, Sven Koenig, and Ariel Felner</strong><br>Theta*: Any-Angle Path Planning on Grids</li> </ul> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2022</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><em>Classic Paper Award Recipients:</em> <strong>Michael Montemerlo, Sebastian Thrun, Hendrik Dahlkamp, David Stavens, Sven Strohband</strong><br>Winning the DARPA Grand Challenge with an AI Robot presented at the Twenty-First National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, held in 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.<br>For breaking barriers in autonomous land vehicles through innovations in probabilistic reasoning to address sensor noise and path planning to control driving parameters.</li> <li><em>Classic Paper Honorable Mention Recipients:</em> <strong>Rada Mihalcea, Courtney Corley, and Carlo Strapparava</strong><br>Corpus-Based and Knowledge-Based Measures of Text Semantic Similarity presented at the Twenty-First National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, held in 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA<br>For pioneering work on using word semantics to assess text similarity.</li> </ul> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2021</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><em>Classic Paper Award Recipients:</em> <strong>Diego Calvanese, Giuseppe De Giacomo, Domenico Lembo, Maurizio Lenzerini, and Riccardo Rosati</strong><br>DL-Lite: Tractable Description Logics for Ontologies presented at the Twentieth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, held in 2005 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.<br>For proposing basic knowledge representation languages with low complexity of reasoning that have had significant impact beyond AI into semantic foundations for the Web.</li> </ul> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2020</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><em>Classic Paper Award Recipient:</em> <strong>Ulrich Junker</strong><br><a href="https://aaai.org/Papers/AAAI/2004/AAAI04-027.pdf">QUICKXPLAIN: Preferred Explanations and Relaxations for Over-Constrained Problems </a>resented at the Nineteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, held in 2004 in San Jose, California, USA.<br>For developing an influential approach for formalizing and efficiently computing user-preferred failure explanations in over-constrained problems.</li> </ul> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2019</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><em>Classic Paper Award Recipients:</em> <strong>Prem Melville, Raymond J.
