Call For Speakers Form

For which upcoming Machine Learning Week conference or conferences should your submission be considered? Normally, only one conference is selected. In very particular cases, you may wish to assert that your session could be considered for two or even three – in which case, check all that apply. Selecting more than two is permitted, but highly unusual. Note PAW Climate takes place virtually, on separate dates.

Please be explicit.

100 word maximum. This should be the complete description as it will appear in the conference program if your submission is accepted (see a sample PAW programs for examples). For both the session description and the session title (field above), please note that our events prefer concrete terms like machine learning (and specific ML methods) over the term artificial intelligence (AI), since AI is a subjective and often-misleading term that is highly ambiguous and frequently employed to over-hype. If you have a specific reason to instead use the term AI, such as to criticize it or to allude to a broader culture, you are welcome to do so, but we recommend that you word things so that this intent is clear.

Primary modeling or machine learning method employed - this information is collected for internal use and will not appear in your session title or description unless you include it in the pertinent fields above. If you are an analytics services vendor that works primarily or exclusively with one analytics software vendor, indicate this and name the software vendor (required) - 50 chars maximum.

Primary modeling or machine learning software tool employed - this information is collected for internal use only and, according to PAW policy, may not appear in your session title or description unless it is a free tool - 50 chars maximum.

For which audience level would your presentation be a better fit: "Expert/practitioner" or "All levels"? Most event sessions are labelled as one or the other. Instead of choosing, you may indicate that either would work for you, and/or indicate a degree of preference. You also may optionally include more specific audience requirements, or other related comments. Note that "All levels" sessions are not necessarily more popular sessions; more than half of the event attendees are hands-on practitioners, many of whom look to "Expert/practitioner" sessions for primary content.

Speaker bio - 150 word maximum. This should be your complete bio, in paragraph form, as it will appear in the conference program if your submission is accepted (see prior PAW speakers for examples). The bio should be written in third person. If you have previously spoken at PAW, please begin this field with, "PREVIOUS SPEAKER" (this phrase will not be included in your bio).
