Paper Submission

Regular papers are limited to a total of 9 pages, excluding all references and optional appendix. We also accept short papers, which can be ranged from 4 to 6 pages excluding all references. All submissions must be in PDF format and formatted according to the standard ACM SIGKDD Proceedings Template. Following this ACM SIGKDD conference submission policy, reviews are double-blind, and author names and affiliations should NOT be listed. Submitted papers will be assessed based on their novelty, technical quality, potential impact, and clarity of writing. For papers that rely heavily on empirical evaluations, the experimental methods and results should be clear, well executed, and repeatable. Authors are strongly encouraged to make code publicly available.

The workshop papers are non-archival, and there is no dual submission restriction for this workshop. For dual submission and anonymity requirement of other conferences, please check the corresponding conference's policy.

The accepted papers will be posted on the workshop website and will not appear in the ACM SIGKDD proceedings.

The accepted papers are recommended to be submitted to AI Open. The publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journals. Please read Guide for Authors before submitting. All papers should be submitted online.
