43rd International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in
Information Retrieval
July 25-30, 2020 (Xi'an, China); DC on July 26
https://sigir.org/sigir2020/call-for-doctoral-consortium-papers/
SIGIR is the major international forum for the presentation of new research
results and for the demonstration of new systems and techniques in the
broad field of information retrieval (IR). The ACM SIGIR 2020 Doctoral
Consortium will provide doctoral students with a unique opportunity to have
substantive interaction with other researchers regarding their proposed
dissertation research.
The objectives of the Doctoral Consortium are:
* To provide a forum where doctoral students can present and discuss their
research with experienced IR researchers: the members of the Doctoral
Consortium Program Committee.
* To provide students with an opportunity to establish a supportive
community, including other doctoral students at a similar stage of their
dissertation research.
The Consortium will take place the day before the main conference (on
Sunday, July 26th, 2020), with the format including: student presentations
with plenary discussions, individual 1:1 meetings with experienced
researchers, interactive networking sessions over lunch, and panel sessions
with a special emphasis on gaining insights regarding career paths after
the PhD.
Prospective attendees should have written, or be close to completing, a
thesis proposal (or equivalent). It is desirable that students not be so
close to completing their PhD that the event would have little impact on
their work, or so early that a topic has not been chosen. Before
submitting, students should discuss this criterion with their advisor or
supervisor.
To apply for a place at the Doctoral Consortium, candidates should submit a
paper up to 5+1 pages in length, solely authored by the student - see
submission guidelines below. Candidates will be selected based on the
potential of their research for future impact on the field of information
retrieval, as well as for the likely benefit to the student from
participating in the Consortium. We note that SIGIR 2020 DC is deeply
committed to improving the field of IR by making it more diverse,
equitable, and inclusive. We highly encourage women and students from other
underrepresented groups to apply.
For each selected student, a one page extended abstract will be published
in the SIGIR 2020 Conference Proceedings. Extended abstracts will be
invited after selection, and should not be submitted with the proposal.
Doctoral students who submit to the Consortium are allowed to have
previously published their research, and are encouraged to submit full,
short, or demo papers of their work to the SIGIR 2020 conference and
associated workshops.
Priority is given to students chosen to attend the Consortium when travel
grants are determined for the conference, and generally grants will be
awarded to chosen students. Application details for travel grants will be
available on the SIGIR 2020 website (You must apply for the grant to be
considered).
Submission Guidelines
Papers should be submitted through easychair in the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigir2020
The submitted paper, solely authored by the student, will be the basis for
detailed discussions at the Consortium. To get the most out of the
discussion, it should include:
* Motivation for the proposed research.
* Background and related work (including key references).
* Description of proposed research, including main research questions.
* Research methodology and proposed experiments (where appropriate).
* Specific research issues for discussion at the Doctoral Consortium.
In addition, a one page appendix to the paper (placed after the references)
must include the following:
A detailed statement by the student explaining why they want to participate
in the SIGIR 2020 Doctoral Consortium at this point in their doctoral
studies, and how they hope it will contribute to the development of their
work and potential future career.
A statement by the student’s advisor/supervisor saying how the student
would benefit by attending the Consortium. Advisors should also
specifically state whether the student has written, or is close to
completing, a thesis proposal (or equivalent), and when they expect the
student would defend their dissertation if they progress at a typical rate.
Format Requirements
Submissions must be written in English and submitted in the 2017 ACM Master
Article Template (for LaTeX, use the “sigconf” option).
The paper should be no more than 5 pages in length including all figures
and references, but excluding the one page appendix. The first page must
contain the title of the paper, full author name, affiliation and contact
details, an abstract of up to 250 words, ACM Computing Classification
System (CCS) categories, and up to 3 keywords describing the topic areas.
Information about categories and keywords can be found in ACM Web pages on
the computing classification system and in the LaTeX and Word templates.
Doctoral Consortium papers will not be published in the SIGIR Conference
Proceedings; only one-page extended abstracts, invited from accepted
students will be published.
Doctoral Consortium submissions must be in PDF format and submitted via
Easychair SIGIR 2020 doctoral consortium site. It is the responsibility of
the student to ensure that their submissions use no unusual format features
and are printable on a standard printer. Submissions will be reviewed by
the members of the Doctoral Consortium Program Committee.
