Submission types

   EAAI-24 has a main track and four special tracks. All submissions are
   subject to double-blind review. All accepted submissions are to be
   presented at the symposium.

  Main Track

   Chair: Fred Martin (UT San Antonio), Marion Neumann (Washington
   University in St. Louis), Stephanie Rosenthal (Carnegie Mellon
   University)

   The main track invites a broad range of papers on teaching AI and
   teaching with AI. Submissions may be framed as research papers or as
   experience reports. Potential topics include:
     * The design of an AI curriculum, course, or module.
     * The development or use of a tool or resource to teach AI.
     * The impact of a pedagogical or mentoring technique on AI students.

  Special Track: AI for Education

   Chairs: Collin F. Lynch (North Carolina State University), Effat
   Farhana (Vanderbilt University)

   Educational domains provide unique task areas and challenges for AI,
   and they provide unique opportunities for positive impacts. This
   special track invites research on advances in AI applied to educational
   tasks and domains including novel student models, intelligent learning
   environments, automated assistants, and instructional support.

   Submissions should be framed as research publications consistent with
   the general call.

  Special Track: Resources for Teaching AI in K-12

   Chairs: Dave Touretzky (Carnegie Mellon), Christina Gardner-McCune
   (University of Florida)

   This special track invites papers on the development and use of
   resources to support K-12 AI education. Examples include online demos,
   software tools, and structured activities. Submissions should follow
   the standard EAAI format for an academic paper and include the
   following: description of the resource; target age group; setup and
   resources needed; AI concepts addressed; expected learning outcomes;
   and (if possible) implementation results. Online demos and software
   tools should be accompanied by brief video walk-throughs.

   Special Track: Mentored Undergraduate Research Challenge: AI for
   Accessibility in Communication

   Chair: Rick Freedman (SIFT)

   This special track invites papers addressing the AI for Accessibility
   in Communication Mentored Undergraduate Research Challenge
   (https://www.yetanotherfreedman.com/resources/challenge_ai4aic.html).
   The objective of this year's challenge is to perform and publish
   research on the development or application of AI that makes sharing
   information more approachable and inclusive. The broader purpose of
   EAAI mentored undergraduate research challenges is to encourage
   undergraduate students to experience the full life-cycle of AI research
   through the guidance of a mentor familiar with the research life-cycle.

   Submissions should be framed as research papers, with at least one
   undergraduate (including community college) student author and at least
   one mentor (faculty or Ph.D.-holding) author.

  Special Track: Model AI Assignments

   Chair: Todd Neller (Gettysburg College)

   This special track invites assignments for AI classes. Good assignments
   take a lot of work to design. If an assignment you have developed may
   be useful to other AI educators, this track provides an opportunity to
   share it. Model AI Assignments are kept in a public online archive.

   This track has special submission instructions
   (http://modelai.gettysburg.edu).

Review criteria

   Submissions will be reviewed for:
     * Relevance to the track
     * Significance to the intended audience
     * Engagement with prior work
     * Novelty of contributions
     * Technical soundness
     * Clarity of presentation
     * Evaluation of claims/results (as applicable)
     * Engagement with questions of ethics/inclusivity (as applicable)

Submission instructions

   All submissions must be anonymous for double-blind review.

   Except for Model AI Assignments, which have their own format, papers
   should be:
     * Up to 7 pages long, plus up to 2 pages of references
     * Per AAAI-24 style guidelines (https://aaai.org/aaai-conference/)
     * Submitted via EasyChair
       (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eaai24)

   EAAI-24 will not consider any paper that, at the time of submission, is
   under review for or has already been published or accepted for
   publication in a refereed journal or conference. Once submitted to
   EAAI-24, papers may not be submitted to another refereed journal or
   conference during the review period. These restrictions do not apply to
   unrefereed forums or workshops without archival proceedings.
