The DC will be open to Ph.D. students with research relevant to the field, and will be judged on a 2 page abstract of their doctoral research. Accepted authors will attend a short workshop prior to the conference with other accepted authors, where they will present and discuss their work to their peers, participate in talks by leaders in the field, and meet colleagues and mentors that will become future collaborators and friends. The IVA Doctoral Consortium aims to be highly selective, and will choose applicants based on their research ability, potential, and engagement with the community. Topics are open to any IVA research (see the conference overview for a topic list).</div> <div><br> </div> <div><b>Submissions are due July 15th, 2021</b></div> <div><b>Send your submissions to: workshop_dc@ml.iva2021.org</b></div> <div><br> </div> <div><br> </div> <div><b>Who can submit:</b></div> <div>Any student enrolled in a doctoral program whose research is of interest to the IVA community can apply.</div> <div><br> </div> <div><br> </div> <div><b>What to submit:</b></div> <div>A two-page extended abstract in which the applicant ties together their past, current, and/or proposed work, within the context of the overarching research question(s) addressed by their work.

All extended abstracts must be submitted in PDF format and conform to the general ACM SIG format. Templates are available at this link (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template - sigconf.tex or interim_layout.docx).
