Call for special tracks

The organisers are pleased to invite proposals for special tracks at the conference. These are specific thematic sessions that will discuss and explore emerging areas of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence research with scholars and practitioners from industry and academia. 

We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit special track proposals. We strongly suggest involving organizers from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the topic. We especially welcome special tracks that are niche but also may attract various types of contributions and may ensure rich interactions within a specific topic in XAI.

Researchers interested in submitting a a special track are invited to contact us in advance, by the deadlines, so we can assist in designing successful proposals. In particular, for special tracks with novel views and angles for eXplainable AI, we are happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas and check with the conference organizers their feasibility. Note that manuscripts submitted by selecting a special track are reviewed by the members of the main track programme committee and supervised by one of its senior chairs (meta reviewer). Special track chairs can also be authors and submit their articles to the special track they propose (if accepted). In such special cases, the PC chairs will consider conflicts of interest, and special track chairs won’t be able to meta-review their articles.

Submission instructions: The team of special track organisers must include at least a doctor (holding a PhD). Proposers must submit the following information: 1) an abstract describing the theme of the special track, with a clear link to xAI. A list of chairs, with their Google Scholar URLs, their profile pictures, and the logo of their institutions, and if existing, logos of particular projects they are working on. Also, a detailed list of topics, with concrete examples of application of existing xAI methods in their fields and/or potential novel directions for creating novel xAI methods. All the special Tracks proposals will be all assessed after the submission deadline. This material must be sent to organisation@xaiworldconference.com
