Hi everyone,
We're organizing our third paperthon in January. A paperthon is a hackathon-style event designed to facilitate a more collaborative paper-writing experience. Participants brainstorm a paper idea, then work over 48 hours to come up with a 4-page paper draft, focusing in the ideas rather than the details. The idea is that working within a very tightly constrained time-frame will force you to make decisions and move your concepts forward, possibly taking risks but with only 2 days of your time at stake. :) Ideally, this can form the basis for a full paper for submission to an academic conference.
The announcement from the main organizer, Katherine Fennedy (SUTD), is attached below. Thank you to Dr. Kotaro Hara from SMU for providing the venue, and A/P Zhao Shengdong from NUS for the original idea for the paperthon format. For more information, see the Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/3083158281908576/.
Hope to see you there!
thanks,
Alex

🎉NEW YEAR, NEW GOALS 🎉
Looking for motivation to kickstart your paper-writing engine?
You are not alone my friend, Paperthon may be the solution for you.
What is a Paperthon?
Take the idea of a hackathon, and twist it with a paper-writing element. This is relevant especially when we could relate to how a research process can sometimes be solitary and lack the opportunity to brainstorm with others.
Who should participate?
This event is highly recommended for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers based in Singapore, regardless of levels of experience. From students to RAs/Post-Docs to Faculty, all are welcome.

This event is made possible by the collaboration between HCI researchers from NUS, SMU and SUTD.
