IJCAI-ECAI-18 Call for TutorialsIJCAI-ECAI-18 invites proposals for the Tutorial Track. Tutorials will be held on July 13-15, 2018, immediately prior to the technical conference. Tutorial attendance is complimentary for all IJCAI-ECAI-18 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 audiences 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-ECAI-18's theme of the Evolution of the Contours of AI.
