The Doctoral Consortium (DC) provides an opportunity for a group of Ph.D. students to discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives with a panel of established researchers in artificial intelligence. The consortium has the following objectives: (1) to provide a setting for feedback on participants\u2019 current research and guidance on future research directions; (2) to develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research; (3) to support a new generation of diverse researchers by offering advice about academic, research, industry, and nontraditional career paths; and (4) to contribute to the overall conference goals, through interactions with other researchers and through participation in conference events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a workshop on February 21, 2023, immediately before the start of the main AAAI conference. Student participants in the Doctoral Consortium will receive complimentary conference registration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-94bc23d7 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-brand-color-2-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=aaai24dc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Doctorate Consortium Submission Site<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-brand-color-2-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aaai.org\/authorkit24-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AAAI 2024 Author Kit<br><em>Use of the files in the 2024 kit is required<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Application Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eligibility: Any current PhD student is welcome to apply, but we will prioritize applications of those from underrepresented groups.<br>Please combine the first four documents into one PDF document, formatted for A4 or US letter paper.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/login.easychair.org\/conferences\/directory?a=31311819\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Please submit your application materials via the online Doctoral Consortium submission site<\/a>. Be mindful of the page limits, 6 pages in total (1-page cover sheet, 2-page thesis summary, 2-page CV, 1-page personal statement). Please use the AAAI author kit for the&nbsp;Thesis Summary; other components (Cover Sheet, CV, Personal Statement) may be submitted in a single column format of your choice using a minimum font size of 11pt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Cover Sheet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A one-page information sheet that includes the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your full name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact details (mailing address, email address, daytime phone number)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affiliation: department, university, country<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Home page (URL)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(Optional) Your gender<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Country of Citizenship<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(Optional) Are you a member of an underrepresented minority ethnic group? If so, please specify.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expected graduation date<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your thesis advisor\u2019s full name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your thesis advisor\u2019s contact details (title, department, affiliation, mailing address and email address)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>List of up to 5 people in the AAAI community you would suggest as a mentor for yourself during the AAAI Doctoral Consortium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>List of up to 5 keywords to help us select reviewers for your application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>List of other Doctoral Consortium programs in which you have participated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Thesis Summary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A two-page extended abstract that summarizes the research questions being investigated, highlights important related work, describes the proposed research plan and anticipated thesis contribution, and includes a brief timeline. Be mindful of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Describe your progress as of the date of submission (September 2, 2022), and your anticipated progress by the workshop date (February 7, 2023), being careful to distinguish between work that has already been accomplished and work that remains to be done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearly identify which work is done by you, and which work is done by collaborators, such as your thesis supervisor and\/or other students in your research group (if there are any). It is okay to use the first person voice in the thesis summary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a title for your work (please do not title it \u201cThesis Summary\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember that the audience for your thesis summary includes people who are knowledgeable about AI, but are not necessarily experts in the specific topic of your thesis. Introduce the content at a high enough level so that the general AAAI audience can understand your story, but also include enough low-level detail so that the experts will appreciate your unique contribution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The thesis summary MUST be 2 pages, in AAAI 2-column format, including references. Yes, this is tricky to do \u2014 but learning how to produce a concise statement of your thesis research is very important!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Curriculum Vita<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Include a CV (at most 2 pages) that describes your background and relevant experience (research, education, employment). Include a list of your publications, if you have any. Also include any pending submissions at AI conferences (such as AAAI 23) and journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Personal Statement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A short (1 page or less) statement of what you expect to gain from presenting and participating in the DC, as well as what you think you can contribute to the DC. Indicate if you have previously participated in doctoral consortia at other conferences (if so, which ones and when), and if you are applying to other DC for 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advisor\u2019s Supplementary Information Form<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A request will be emailed to your thesis advisor asking them to provide supplementary information about you by completing a separate form. The form will contain multiple-choice questions about the current status of your thesis research and progress through your graduate program, why your advisor would like you to participate in the DC, what your advisor believes you can contribute to the DC, whether you have participated in other DC\u2019s in the past, and if you are applying to other DC\u2019s for 2023. Note that a letter of recommendation is NOT required (and none will be accepted).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review Process<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Doctoral Consortium organizing committee solicits applications covering any topic area and methodology within Artificial Intelligence. Students will be selected who have settled on their thesis direction, but still have significant research to complete. Applications will be reviewed according to the following criteria: clarity and completeness of submission packet, stage of research, evidence of research progress (such as published papers and\/or technical reports), assessment of contribution to and benefit from participating in the DC, and advisor\u2019s input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At the Conference<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>All participants selected to present their work at the Doctoral Consortium are expected to be present throughout the consortium. Our experience has been that participants gain almost as much by interacting with their peers as by having their presentations critiqued by the panel of established researchers. As such, we expect a commitment from participating students to attend the entire DC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, all students attending AAAI are invited to observe the Doctoral Consortium, whether or not they apply to present their work. It can be a tremendous learning experience to watch peers make presentations, as well as listen to invited speakers or panel discussions. (Note: Non-students are also very welcome to attend.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International Participation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Significant effort has been made in recent years to expand AAAI participation internationally. In the past, the DC has had limited ability to provide support for students from non-US institutions. In recent years, we expanded the sources of funding with the goal of providing support for more non-US students, and will continue to do so this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acknowledgements<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Support for the 2023 Doctoral Consortium is provided by AAAI, with additional support traditionally coming from ACM\u2019s SIGAI, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Artificial Intelligence journal, and various industry supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For More Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inquiries concerning doctoral consortium submissions and suggestions may be directed to the doctoral consortium co-chairs at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:aaai24dcchairs@aaai.org\">aaai24dcchairs@aaai.org<\/a>.
