IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 Call for Doctoral Consortium

Students are invited to apply for admission to the doctoral
consortium to be held at the IJCAI-PRICAI conference in Yokohama,
Japan on July 11-17, 2020.

The doctoral consortium provides an opportunity for
Ph.D. students to discuss their research interests and career
objectives with established researchers in AI, network with other
participants, and receive mentoring about career planning and
career options. The doctoral consortium will expose students to
different areas of research within AI and help build professional
connections within the international community of AI researchers.


Important Dates:

Deadline for applications: March 9, 2020
Notification of acceptance: April 19, 2020


Applicants should submit (as a single pdf file) the following:

1. a two-page extended abstract that summarizes the research
problem being investigated, the specific contributions made, and
directions for the remaining work. In particular, please write
about how the research you are trying to do is done today;
what are its limits; what is new in your approach; why do you
think it will be successful; if successful, what difference will
it make; and the evaluations to check for success. The extended
abstract has to be formatted using the IJCAI 2-column
format (downloadable here: https://www.ijcai.org/authors_kit),
and is strictly limited to 2 pages, including
references. Submissions are not double blind, which means the
author name and affiliation should be included. When writing it,
remember that the audience is knowledgeable about AI, but not
necessarily in the narrow topic of your thesis. Be sure to
introduce the content at a level that the general IJCAI audience
can understand it, but also include enough low-level details for
the expert s to understand your unique contributions.

Accepted extended abstracts will be published in the IJCAI
Proceedings and be presented briefly at the doctoral consortium.

2. a curriculum vitae (2 pages) with background (name,
university), education (degree sought, year/status in degree,
previous degrees), employment, and relevant experience in
research (publications, presentations, conferences attended,
etc).

3. a personal statement (1-2 pages) with answers to the following
questions:

  a. Have you attended the IJCAI DC previously? If not, have you
     attended other DC? Please say which one(s) and what was most
     useful to you?

  b. Have you submitted an article to the main IJCAI 2019
     conference and/or an IJCAI 2019 workshop?

  c. When do you expect to graduate?

  d. What type of job do you desire after graduation (research,
     teaching, development, etc) and what do you envision doing
     for the next five years after graduation?
