Doctoral Consortium Call for Papers

The AIxIA Doctoral Consortium (DC) is offered as part of the Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA) that will take place in Rome, Italy on November 6-9, 2023. The DC provides an opportunity for PhD students to explore and develop their research interests in the Artificial Intelligence field, in the broader sense, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished researchers from both academia and industry. Attending students will have the opportunity to present their work in a dedicated session during the conference.

AIxIA Doctoral Consortium's main objectives are the following:
Provide a supportive setting for feedback on students’ current research and guidance on future research directions.
Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from faculty and students outside their institution, taking advantage of mentorship opportunities.
Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research.
Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events.

We accept contributions from:
- students regularly enrolled in some PhD programs;
- students enrolled in the National PhD Programs in Artificial Intelligence (PhD-AI) and Robotics and Intelligent Machines (phDRIM).
- students/master’s holders not yet enrolled in a PhD program, but strongly motivated to enroll in the next future.
 
We invite the submission of research papers, where special attention should be dedicated to contextualising the contribution within the research area it belongs to and how the contribution fits within the PhD program. We also encourage submissions of preliminary works that survey the state-of-the-art of a specific problem and propose a plan for ongoing investigation activities.
