Call for Doctoral Consortium Papers: AIME 2021
*******EXTENDED DEADLINE*******
Important Dates
Submission deadline: April 12, 2021
Notification of acceptance: April 28, 2021
Camera-ready submission deadline: May 21, 2021
Doctoral Consortium: June 16, 2021
The 9th Doctoral Consortium in conjunction with the AIME 2021 conference will
provide an opportunity for PhD students to present their research plans or
their preliminary work in an informal and supportive atmosphere. The PhD
students will be able to discuss their plans, preliminary results (optional),
and the specific problems they are encountering. They will get feedback and
advice from the Academic Panel including a number of prominent academic
researchers with substantial experience in the field who will actively give
constructive feedback and advice and contribute to the discussions.
The Doctoral Consortium will host the presentations by at most 6 PhD students
who will be selected by the Doctoral Consortium chair. It will also include a
short intensive tutorial on structuring a research paper (and the corresponding
work) on different topics and with different perspectives (theoretical,
methodological, experimental, application-oriented), and will be concluded with
a general discussion and evaluation.
Submission
Unlike other conference submissions, a Doctoral Consortium submission pertains
specifically to the PhD thesis as a whole or part thereof (thereafter both will
be termed the research work). Submissions should describe (in 2000-2500 words,
approx. 4-5 pages) a research plan on a topic related to AI in medicine and
include the following elements:
Title and author,
The problem, with an argument of why it is important,
The goal and the research questions,
The planned approach and methods for solving the problem
An outline of what is already known about the research problem
The expected results from the research work like overviews, algorithms,
better understanding of a concept, a pilot, model or system,
Any questions you might have or problems you encounter for which you
specifically would like feedback on such as:
Do I need to write a systematic review before I start?
How should I proceed?
Where should I consider publishing?
How should I evaluate my work?
Which courses would suit me best to carry out the work?
Is it normal to meet my supervisor once a week/month/year?
Submissions be formatted according to the Springer’s LNCS format (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and send by e-mail in PDF format
to David Riaño with the subject line AIME19 Doctoral Consortium submission.
(Note: Each submission will be confirmed by a return message. If a confirmation
message has not been received within 5 days after submission, please contact
David Riaño to inform about it).
Submissions will be reviewed by members of the Academic Panel and by submitting
students (each student will be asked to review one submission prepared by
another person). Based on reviews, the Doctoral Consortium chair will select
about 6 submissions to be presented and discussed during the meeting. The
selection will be based on the relevancy to AI in medicine topics (see for
example the scope for AIME 2019), relevancy to the doctoral consortium (there
is for example no point to present finished work at the meeting), the clarity
of writing, and the resulting spectrum of presented topics. Selected
submissions will appear in workshop notes that will be distributed among
conference participants.
For more information about the Doctoral Consortium please contact to David
Riaño (david.ri...@urv.cat)
Participation
Students accepted for the Doctoral Consortium will be offered participation
grants to cover their registration fees for the Consortium and for the main
conference. Moreover, the Consortium is opened for audience - anybody
interested in presentations and discussion is welcome to come.
