<h1 style="font-weight:bold">Call for Tutorials</h1>
<p align="justify">IJCAI-19 invites proposals for the Tutorial
Track. Tutorials will be held on August 10-12, 2019, immediately prior
to the technical conference. Tutorial attendance is complimentary for
all IJCAI-2019 conference registrants.</p>
<h2> Objectives </h2>
<p align="justify">Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:</p>
<ul><li> Introduce novices to major topics within Artificial Intelligence. </li><li> Introduce expert non-specialists to an AI subarea. </li><li> Motivate and explain a topic of emerging importance for AI. </li><li> Survey a mature area of AI research and/or practice. </li><li> Provide instruction in established but specialized AI methodologies. </li><li> Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AI work.</li><li> Introduce AI audiences to an external topic that can motivate or use AI research. </li><li> Mentor AI researchers (particularly, junior researchers) on a
broad AI-relevant non-technical topic (examples could be AI jobs, or
ethical issues in AI). </li></ul>
<p align="justify">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.</p>
