primary goal of AISTATS has been to broaden research in these fields by
promoting the exchange of ideas among them. We encourage the submission of
all papers which are in keeping with this objective at AISTATS.

Current website: https://www.aistats.org/aistats2021/
Paper Submission:

Proceedings track: This is the standard AISTATS paper submission track.
Papers will be selected via a rigorous double-blind peer-review process.
All accepted papers will be presented at the Conference as contributed
talks or as posters and will be published in the Proceedings.

Solicited topics include, but are not limited to:

   -

   Models and estimation: graphical models, causality, Gaussian processes,
   approximate inference, kernel methods, nonparametric models, statistical
   and computational learning theory, manifolds and embedding, sparsity and

Formatting and Supplementary Material

Submissions are limited to 8 pages excluding references using the LaTeX
style file we provide. The number of pages containing citations alone is
not limited. You can also submit a single file of additional supplementary
material which may be either a pdf file (such as proof details) or a zip
file for other formats/more files (such as code or videos). Note that
reviewers are under no obligation to examine your supplementary material.
If you have only one supplementary pdf file, please upload it as is;
otherwise gather everything to the single zip file.

Submissions will be through CMT (
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/AISTATS2021) and *will be open a month*
before the abstract submission deadline.

Formatting information (including LaTeX style files) *will be made
available**.* We do not support submission in preparation systems other
than LaTeX. Please do not modify the layout given by the style file. If you
have questions about the style file or its usage, please contact the
publications chair.
Anonymization Requirements

The AISTATS review process is double-blind. Please remove all identifying
information from your submission, including author names, affiliations, and
any acknowledgments. Self-citations can present a special problem: we
recommend leaving in a moderate number of self-citations for published or
otherwise well-known work. For unpublished or less-well-known work, or for
large numbers of self-citations, it is up to the author's discretion how
best to preserve anonymity. Possibilities include leaving out a citation
altogether, including it but replacing the citation text with "removed for
anonymous submission," or leaving the citation as-is; authors should choose
for each citation the treatment which is least likely to reveal authorship.

Previous tech-report or workshop versions of a paper can similarly present
a problem for anonymization. We suggest leaving out any identifying
information for such versions, but bringing them to the attention of the
program committee via the submission page. Reviewers will be instructed
that tech reports (including reports on sites such as arXiv
) and papers in workshops without archival proceedings
do not count as prior publication.
Previous or Concurrent Submissions

Submitted manuscripts should not have been previously published in a
journal or in the proceedings of a conference, and should not be under
consideration for publication at another conference at any point during the
AISTATS review process. It is acceptable to have a substa

[UAI] ACM IUI 2021: Call for workshop proposals

[Axel Soto]

ACM IUI 2021 2nd CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

In conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Intelligent User  
Interfaces (IUI 2021)

College Station, TX, USA
April 13 - 17, 2021
http://iui.acm.org/

IUI 2021 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in  
conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a  
venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an  
informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Workshops  
will be held on the first day of the conference. We invite submissions of  
full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the  
conference topics (or related). This year we are particularly interested  
in workshops that have an interactive aspect.


Preference will be given to workshops with interactive and hands-on  
sessions where participants can team up or work together towards the  
common goal of the workshop. We encourage proposals for a wide range of  
workshops, including but not limited to:


- "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their  
own paper submission and review processes.
- "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter  
review process (e.g. based on abstracts only).
- "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to  
ask participants to submit a position statement.
- "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics  
with individual or team participation.


== PROPOSAL FORMAT ==

Note: One of the keys to a successful workshop submission is to CONTACT  
THE CHAIRS WITH YOUR IDEAS (workshops2...@iui.acm.org), and work together  
to prepare an exciting proposal!


Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the standard  
sigconf format, using one of the Interim ACM templates available at  
http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html


Please submit your proposal via the PCS 2.0 submission system  
(https://new.precisionconference.com).


The proposals should be organized as follows:
- Name and title: A one-word workshop acronym and a full title.
- Description of workshop topic and goal: This description should discuss  
the relevance of the suggested topic to the IUI audience. Include a brief  
discussion of why and for which audience the workshop is of particular  
interest.
- Organizers: Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the workshop  
organizers. This can be a single person or a group of people. Strong  
proposals normally include organizers who bring differing perspectives on  
the topic and are actively connected to the communities of potential  
participants. Please indicate the primary contact person and the  
organizers who plan to attend the workshop.
- Previous history: List of previous workshops that were held on the topic  
including the conferences that hosted past workshops and the number of  
participants. Also please provide the list of other workshops organized by  
workshop organizers in the past.
- Workshop program committee: Names and affiliation of the members of the  
(tentative) workshop program committee that will evaluate the workshop  
submissions.
- Participants: A statement saying how many participants you expect and  
how you plan to invite participants for the workshop. We recommend the  
proposal to include the names of at least 10 people who have expressed  
interest to participate in, or contribute a paper to, the workshop.
- Workshop format: A brief description of the workshop format regarding  
the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels,  
demonstrations, and general discussion.

- Length: Full-day or half-day.
- Proposal format: Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and  
follow the formatting instructions from (sigconf):  
http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html


Additional guidelines:
--

- Workshop proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop chairs.
- Organizers: We strongly encourage all of the workshop organizers to  
attend IUI and take part in their workshop. This can make the workshops  
more appealing for the participants and strengthen the discussion part.
- Workshop summary: An extended abstract with a summary of the workshop  
goals and an overview of the workshop topics will be included in the ACM  
Digital Library for IUI 2021.
- Workshop proceedings: At the convenience of the workshop organizers, we  
will arrange a joint volume of online proceedings for the workshop papers.  
Workshops should request the authors to submit papers in the ACM SIGCHI  
Paper Format.
- Cancellation: Workshops with few submissions by January 3 2021 may be  
cancelled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise  
restructured. This will be done in consultation between the IUI 2021  
workshop chairs and the workshop organizers.


Additionally, we strongly encourage to have
