EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 15 December 2019

The 6th Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence (GCAI 2020) will be held in Hangzhou, China, 6-9 April 2020, as part of the Zhejiang Logic for AI Summit (ZjuLogAI 2020). With its special focus theme on “Explainable AI and Responsible AI”, the summit intends to promote the interplay between logical approaches and machine learning based approaches in order to make AI more transparent, responsible and accountable.

************************
Submission Guidelines
************************

GCAI 2020 accepts submissions of two types:

- Full paper submissions, which must be original and cannot be submitted simultaneously elsewhere. Full paper submissions must be at most 12 pages long, excluding references. Additional support material may be included in an appendix, which may be considered or ignored by the program committee.

- Extended abstract submissions, which report on ongoing or preliminary work, or on work that is central to symbolic reasoning and/or machine/deep learning applied to both software and robotic systems, but that has already been submitted or recently published elsewhere as a full paper (in the case of an already published paper, the full version has to be referenced explicitly). Extended abstract submissions must be at most 4 pages long, excluding references.

Both types of submissions must be prepared in LaTeX or Microsoft Word using the EasyChair templates, and uploaded in PDF format. Submissions not complying with these guidelines will be rejected at the discretion of the program committee.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. Abstracts are due on 23 November 2019, full papers and extended abstracts are due on 15 December 2019, and decisions will be made by 20 January 2020.

Submissions: via EasyChair

International Doctoral Symposium for Students of Artificial Intelligence
Hangzhou, China, 6 April 2020
http://www.xixilogic.org/events/gcai2020/doctoral_symposium/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first day of the conference GCAI 2020 has been set aside for tutorials and a doctoral symposium. The organizers are now calling for participation of PhD students at the doctoral symposium.

The goal of the International Doctoral Symposium for Students of Artificial Intelligence is twofold: On one hand, it offers training sessions on topics and skills that may be useful to future researchers and professionals of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, it aims to provide a chance to share research interests and results of PhD students in the area of artificial intelligence. To achieve these, one senior PhD supervisor will deliver a talk, sharing advice and experience of doing research in artificial intelligence. Each PhD student will then be given 5 minutes to give a short presentation introducing himself/herself and his/her research topic (no details of any work done – just the topic area and the problem being attacked). Then the students will then work in groups with similar interests, for round table discussion, followed by group presentations. Senior faculty will be there to provide feedback, to help students progress effectively with their research.

Presentations should be submitted by email to the following email address:

swchen at swjtu.edu.cn<mailto:swchen at swjtu.edu.cn>

and include the following information:

+ Name(s) and affiliation(s) of the PhD student(s)
+ Title/ topic of the presentation
+ Any special resources that would be needed
