Call for Research Submissions
Share emerging research, ideas, methods, and discoveries.
The Research Track welcomes contributions advancing the foundations, methods, and understanding of AI across the Cross-AI Topics, from foundational research to work at the intersections of established fields. Submissions may span multiple topics and introduce additional areas where appropriate.
Given the rapid pace of progress in AI, we encourage the sharing of significant ideas and findings before they reach the stage of a conventional research paper. Contributions are welcome at varying stages of development, from mature results and early findings to working systems and emerging research directions.
