Call for Tutorials IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 invites proposals for the Tutorial Track. Tutorials will be held on July 11-13, immediately prior to the technical conference. Tutorial attendance is complimentary for all IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 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. However, we strongly encourage tutorials with a hands-on component or other interactive elements. We also particularly welcome tutorials on socially and/or industrially relevant topics in relation with AI such as privacy, security, fairness or ethics.
