AI + HADR 2020: 2nd Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response Virtual Virtual, CA, United States, December 12, 2020 |
Conference website | https://www.hadr.ai |
Submission deadline | October 9, 2020 |
We invite researchers to submit their recent work on the topic of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Recovery (HADR) problems to be featured at our workshop at NeurIPS 2020.
We welcome methods from Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Robotics, Natural Language Processing, Information Theory, Decision Theory, Game Theory, Causal Modeling, Applied Statistics, and related fields.
Further, we welcome applications to a variety of humanitarian and disaster response issues, including, but not limited to, search and rescue robotics, computer vision for damage assessment, motion planning in obstructed roads, disinformation management on social media, and much more.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions will be limited to five pages of content and one page of references in the NeurIPS 2020 format. Papers may contain appendices after the sixth page to highlight additional results, figures, proofs, and other supplementary materials, but the main body of the work should be self-contained and reviewers are not required to consider appendices in their decisions. Further, other supplementary materials, such as videos or audio clips, may be submitted as supplementary materials. Again, reviewers are not required to consider these supplementary materials in their decisions.
The deadline for submission is October 9th, 2020 at 11:59PM Pacific Time. Submissions can be made on the workshop homepage at https://www.hadr.ai.
All submissions will undergo double-blind review; Thus, please ensure that your submission is anonymized when submitted, including removing names, affiliations, contact information, and ensuring that references to your own previous work are in the third person.
Submissions will be judged on:
-
Their technical merit
-
The clarity in conveying the importance of the work, methodology, and experimental results (if applicable)
-
The relevance to the goal of the workshop.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least one member each from the AI and HADR communities to ensure both technical merit and impact are both considered.
