IJCAI-17 Call for Tutorials MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA, 19-25 AUGUST 2017 ijcai-17.org
IJCAI-17 invites proposals for the Tutorial Track. Tutorials will be held on August 19-21, immediately prior to the technical conference. Tutorial attendance is complimentary for all IJCAI-17 conference registrants. == Objectives: * Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives: * Introduce novices to major topics within Artificial Intelligence. * Introduce expert non-specialists to an AI subarea. * Motivate and explain a topic of emerging importance for AI. * Survey a mature area of AI research and/or practice. * Provide instruction in established but specialized AI methodologies. * Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AI work. * Introduce AI audience to an external topic that can motivate or use AI research. * Mentor AI researchers (particularly, junior researchers) on a broad AI-relevant non-technical topic (examples could be AI jobs, or ethical issues in AI). Tutorials are intended to cover reasonably well-established information in a balanced way. Tutorials should not be used to advocate a single avenue of research, nor should they promote a product. We encourage tutorials with a hands-on component or other interactive element. We also welcome tutorials with explicit ties to IJCAI-2017’s theme of AI and Autonomy. == Key dates: * Proposal Submission Deadline: November 22nd, 2016 * Acceptance Notification: January 9th, 2017 * Title, Abstract, and Speaker Biography Deadline: March 6th, 2017 * Syllabus and Course Handouts Posted: June 12th, 2017 * IJCAI-17 Tutorials: August 19-21 == Submission Instructions: Tutorial proposals should be submitted here: https://ijcai-tutorials.confmaster.net/ Proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file containing the following information: * A two-sentence description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure. * A two-paragraph description of the tutorial, suitable for a web page overview. * Proposed length of the tutorial: 1/4 or 1/2 day (one or two 1:45h slots respectively) * A detailed, point-form outline of the tutorial. * A brief characterization of the potential target audience for the tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge. * A brief description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a substantial part of the IJCAI audience, and which of the above objectives are best served by the tutorial. * A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include: ** Name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address ** Background in the tutorial area, including a list of publications/presentations ** Citation to an available example of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article or presentation materials on the subject) ** Evidence of teaching experience (courses taught or references) ** Evidence of scholarship in AI or Computer Science Any questions about the tutorial program should be directed to the tutorial chairs, Andreas Krause (https://las.inf.ethz.ch/krausea) and Kevin Leyton-Brown (http://cs.ubc.ca/~kevinlb). _______________________________________________ uai mailing list [email protected] https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
