https://www.auai.org/uai2021/call_for_workshops Submission deadline: March 8, 2021, 23:59 UTC

We invite submissions of workshop proposals for the UAI 2021 conference. Workshops will be held virtually on July 30th following the main conference. Each workshop will be allocated half a day, starting at 6am or 6pm US Pacific Time.

The goal of the workshops is to provide an informal forum for research topics that are relevant to the UAI community, with emphasis on the discussion of open problems and challenges. Workshop organisers will be in charge of arranging participation, content, and moderation of the workshops.

Requirements

A significant portion of the workshops should be dedicated to contributed content. Workshop organisers can decide whether contributions will consist of full papers or (extended) abstracts.

We encourage workshop organisers to consider diversity aspects when creating the lists of invited speakers and panellists. In particular, we welcome the inclusion of early-career researchers.

In addition to the aspects above, proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Relevance to the UAI audience 
• Potential impact 
• Quality & clarity of the proposal
• Organisers' relevant expertise

The workshops should comply with the following requirements

• Call for papers/abstracts: Before April 15th
• Paper/abstract submission deadline: Between May 15th and May 31st
• Paper/abstract notification: Before June 30th
