The Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford has harvested a bumper crop of eleven accepted papers at this year's International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI). Held every other year, IJCAI is the premier international conference for artificial intelligence research. This year's conference, to be held in Beijing, China, in August 2013, attracted 1473 submissions, and after reviewing, only 413 of these (28%) were accepted for presentation and publication.

In more detail, Oxford's (co-)authored, accepted papers are as follows:
