[UAI] IUI 2019 Student Consortium Call for Papers
IUI 2019 Student Consortium Call for Papers Overview The IUI 2019 Student Consortium is intended to provide an opportunity for Doctoral and advanced Masters students to present and receive feedback about their research in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of mentors selected from senior people in the field. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their research to use this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. The consortium will be organized with 8 to 12 presentations by the students, whose applications have been selected by the Student Consortium chairs and potentially other reviewers. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress, but who are not so far along in their research that they can no longer make changes. The final version of accepted SC submissions will be included in the main conference proceedings published in the ACM DL. Complimentary/reduced conference registration will be available for students. Student Consortium participants will also be given high priority when applying for the student travel awards. Moreover, we are working to provide partial reimbursement of travel/accommodation expenses specifically for the participants of the Student Consortium. More information will come soon. Objectives The objectives of the student consortium are to: 1- Serve as a supportive setting to provide/receive feedback on students' current doctoral and masters' research and guidance on future research directions 2- Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from researchers and students outside of their own institution 3- Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research 4- Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events Submission Instructions To apply for the Student Consortium, please submit to the URL below a single PDF containing the following (in order): 1- A brief cover letter containing your full name, contact details, affiliation, web page, expected graduation date and target degree, the name of your thesis advisor, gender (optional), home country (optional), and whether you are a member of an underrepresented minority group (optional) - one page maximum. 2- Your SC submission: a document describing your thesis/dissertation research plan and your progress thus far and should be no more than two pages long, including references. Key points the submission should include: Motivation for your dissertation research, goal and research questions, related work that frames your research, methods/approach to reach the goal, results if any, and next steps for your research. 3- Submissions should follow the standard SigCHI format, using one of the following templates: - Microsoft Word Template for Papers - LaTeX Template for Papers - PDF Example for Papers 4- Your CV (maximum two pages). Submit your single PDF (containing cover letter and SC submission) to https://new.precisionconference.com by November 9th, 2018. In addition, a letter of recommendation from your thesis or doctoral advisor should be sent separately by email to the Student Consortium co-Chairs at sc-iui2...@acm.org.

[UAI] Call for Papers: Special Issue on Autonomous Agents Modelling Other Agents
*Special Issue on Autonomous Agents Modelling Other Agents* To be published in Artificial Intelligence https://www.journals.elsevier.com/artificial-intelligence/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-autonomous-agents-modelling-other-agents Dear Colleagues, We invite you to contribute to a new special issue on the topic of Autonomous Agents Modelling Other Agents, to be published in the journal Artificial Intelligence. Much research in artificial intelligence (AI) is concerned with enabling autonomous agents to model various aspects of other agents, such as their beliefs, intentions, plans, goals, and decision making. A recent survey published in AIJ (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.artint.2018.01.002) discusses the major modelling methods that have been developed in AI research and highlights open problems. The survey shows that this is a large area of research with a history going back several decades. However, it also shows that the area is fractured into many sub-communities with little interaction, including work in game playing, computer poker, automated negotiation, simulated robot soccer, human user modelling, human-robot interaction, commercial video games, trust and reputation, and multi-agent learning. The purpose of this special issue is to provide a venue for new technical contributions addressing open problems in this area (including those highlighted in the survey), as well as to ! complement the survey via research perspectives which may include historical accounts, a description of recent developments and applications, and personal views about current limitations and future directions. The following is a non-exclusive list of topics relevant to the special issue: Learning and using models of other agents' decision making processes Opponent modelling in games Methods for goal/intent/plan recognition Theory of mind, recursive reasoning, epistemic planning Implicit agent modelling Modelling humans Modelling other agents under partial observability Modelling teams/groups of agents Teammate modelling for ad hoc teamwork Robust decision making with agent models Reasoning about utilities and preferences of other agents Modelling other agents in open multi-agent systems Modelling changing behaviours of other agents Safe exploration of agent model spaces Misspecified agent models and model revision Graphical representations of agent models Innovative applications of agents modelling other agents Historical accounts, current limitations, and future directions of agent modelling Submissions will be open from June 2018 until December 31, 2018 and can be made using the EVISE system: http://www.evise.com/evise/faces/pages/navigation/NavController.jspx?JRNL_ACR=ARTINT. Authors should select when they reach the âArticle Typeâ step in the submission process. All submitted articles will go through a peer-review process. Reviewing of submitted articles begins immediately after submission, with first decisions (accept, reject, revisions) made within three months. Accepted articles will be published immediately online on the AIJ website and will also be included in the special issue.
