The International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) continues to be a premier venue for research in reasoning, planning, and knowledge representation, with the upcoming IJCAI-ECAI 2026 conference showcasing a strong focus on these areas. Analysis of accepted papers reveals that symbolic AI, particularly in reasoning and planning, remains robust and is being revitalized by integration with large language models (LLMs). Notable research includes novel methods for making Answer Set Programming (ASP) differentiable for neural integration and using LLMs to evolve high-performance SAT solvers, demonstrating a trend towards neuro-symbolic AI.
