Call for Papers: Meetings of Young Researchers in Artificial Intelligence

26 février 2021

The 2021 edition of the Plate-Forme Intelligence Artificielle (PFIA’2021) will take place in Bordeaux from June 28th to July 2nd. On this occasion, the Rencontres des Jeunes Chercheurs en Intelligence Artificielle (RJCIA’2021) will also take place on July 1st and 2nd. Aimed at young researchers, doctoral students or holders of a doctorate for less than a year, the event is organising a call for papers.

The objective of the Meetings of Young Researchers in Artificial Intelligence is twofold:

enable young researchers preparing a thesis in Artificial Intelligence, or having recently defended it, to meet and present their work, and thus to form contacts with other young researchers and broaden their perspectives by exchanging with specialists in other fields of artificial intelligence, and
to train young researchers to prepare a paper, revise it to take into account the comments of the programme committee, and present it to an expert audience, thus enabling them to obtain feedback from researchers in their field or related fields.

Conference Themes

Any contribution in the field of Artificial Intelligence is welcome. Below, as an indication, a list of general themes that are not meant to be exhaustive.

Important Dates

Submission of articles: March 15, 2021
Notification to authors: 15 April 2021
Receipt of final versions: 04 May 2021
Conference dates: 01 and 02 July 2021

Types of submission

Article proposals may describe :

research work, which makes a new and significant contribution to the state of the art ;
state of the art work, which identifies problems and/or proposes initial avenues of work in a clearly established context;
resources (including datasets, benchmarks, workflows, software) that can be used by other members of the scientific community for their own work, and that meet the FAIR principles of scientific data management.

Two types of submissions are accepted:

long articles of 6 to 8 pages intended to be presented orally;
short articles of 2 pages intended to be used as posters or demonstrations.

Submissions are not subject to any exclusivity: papers submitted to international conferences or workshops can also be proposed to RJCIA, especially in order to get more feedback.

Format and submission procedure

Authors are invited to submit paper proposals in PDF format only, conforming to the PFIA 2021 double-column style. Authors are invited to submit their proposals (pdf of maximum 8 pages) via EasyChair: https: //easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rjcia2021.
