Fwd: CFP - Canadian AI-2015 Graduate Student Symposium (GSS-2015)

[Marina Sokolova]

Please forward to all AI graduate students and supervisors that you may know …

The 28th Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence, invites graduate students to submit summary (abstract) papers of their thesis research for possible inclusion in the AI 2015 Graduate Student Symposium (GSS-2015) and the AI 2015 proceedings published by Springer Verlag in the LNAI series. The Symposium provides an opportunity for Master’s and PhD students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives with their peers and with a panel of established researchers in Artificial Intelligence, helping to develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research.

The symposium will be a pre- AI/GI/CRV-2015 conference event, on June 2 from 12:00-6:00pm, where students of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a presentation on their thesis work before a group of peers as well as a small team of recognized AI researchers who will offer a critique of each presentation and provide support, advice, and mentoring. The top 20 submissions will also be invited to participate a poster session on the evening of June 2 during the AI 2015 main conference reception. This will be a great opportunity to present and discuss your work with others.

Graduate students are invited to submit a 4-page summary of their on-going thesis work from all areas of Artificial Intelligence. All submissions must be written in English. The paper should clearly state the research problem, the proposed solution and approach and the description of the progress to date, including significant results. Program committee members will review each submission. Presenting students will be selected based on clarity of the submission, difficulty of the problem, novelty of the solution, quality of the research, and evidence of promise such as published papers or technical reports.

Partial financial assistance for travel and accommodations will be available to students presenting at the Symposium, as funding allows.
