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.

Author and Submission Guidelines

All submissions are made through the AirBalloon conference management system, following the Author and Submission Guidelines.

Publishing & Registration Requirements

All accepted archival papers will be published in the indexed Cross-AI conference proceedings. Authors may optionally have their papers considered for further publication in an IEEE-published Cross-AI Special Edition in 2027, subject to Cross-AI approval and an additional publication fee.

Accepted abstract submissions are not published in the proceedings; abstracts will be posted on the conference platform and in the Cross-AI non-archival repository; previously published work is posted on the conference platform only.

Author Registration: For all accepted submissions, whether archival or non-archival, at least one author must register for the symposium.

Media Hosting

Media hosting is available only for accepted submissions. Their presentation pre-recordings, demo videos, e-posters, audio, and other approved media will be hosted on the conference platform and made openly accessible for up to two years. Media hosting and open access are included in the Author registration fee.

Existing recordings of previously published work that are linked from the schedule remain on their original sites and are not hosted on the conference platform.

Live Recording Policy

To foster open and candid exchange, Cross-AI will not record live sessions, except for keynotes.
