[PlanetKR] IJCAI 2019 Call for Tutorials

[Mary-Anne Williams]

*IJCAI 2019 Call for Tutorials*

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.

OBJECTIVES
Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:

- Introduce novices to major topics within Artificial Intelligence.
- Introduce expert non-specialists to an AI subarea.
- Motivate and explain a topic of emerging importance for AI.
- Survey a mature area of AI research and/or practice.
- Provide instruction in established but specialized AI methodologies.
- Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AI work.
- Introduce AI audiences to an external topic that can motivate or use AI
research.
- Mentor AI researchers (particularly, junior researchers) on a broad
AI-relevant non-technical topic (examples could be AI jobs, or ethical
issues in AI).

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.
