UAI is more like machine learning (at least these days? or is it all changing again?)
I gathered the numbers for UAI and it is not in the same equivalence class as the other two by selectivity or number of submissions (consistently >30% acceptance rate).
AAMAS is quite a big conference and I see that the acceptance rates (as listed here - http://www.adaptivebox.net/CILib/CICON_stat.html) are consistently below 25%.
I also consider size (# of submissions) and impact factors. AAMAS and UAI are not in the same equivalence class as IJACI and AAAI -- those conferences are 5x to 6x larger (by # of submissions).
IJCAI '16: 2294 papers submitted, 551 accepted (24%) (see http://www.ijcai.org/Proceedings/16/Papers/001.pdf)
AAAI '17: 2590 submissions, 638 accepted (25%)
AAMAS '16: 411 submissions, 109 accepted (25%) http://www.ifaamas.org/Proceedings/aamas2016/pdfs/welcome.pdf
UAI '16: 275 submissions, 85 accepted (30%) http://auai.org/uai2016/proceedings/uai-2016-proceedings.pdf
There are currently two, so there is room for one more. Proposed candidates include AAMAS, ICAPS, KR, UAI, SOCS, CP.
