Call for Papers

We invite submissions on the theoretical foundations and applications of the following topics (but not limited to), with emphasis on their applications in the decision-making of physical autonomous agents that interact and collaborate with humans:

  • Explainable AI

  • Interpretable machine learning

  • Verifiable autonomous systems

  • Trust in human-robot interaction

  • Safe learning and exploration

  • Robust artificial intelligence

Submission Guidelines

  • Submissions have to be novel contributions covering any topic listed above. We don’t accept work that has been already published, that is concurrently submitted to other venues before the submission deadline, or that is presented at the main NeurIPS conference. We solicit submission of full papers, position papers, and papers describing open problems on one of the topics listed above. Papers must be submitted through the submission site on OpenReview. Papers submitted to the workshop can be submitted to future conferences if the acceptance notification comes after the workshop date.

  • We only allow dual submissions of papers submitted to the main NeurIPS 2022 conference with the following constraints: papers must be withdrawn from this workshop before October 1st if they will be accepted at the main conference; papers must include the declaration of dual submission BEFORE the introduction section; authors must append the reviews received from NeurIPS conference (printed from the OpenReview system) to the main corpus and a brief letter summarizing the improvements made after the review process.

  • Submissions must follow the NeurIPS anonymized paper format (see NeurIPS style files), and they are limited to a maximum of 9 pages, excluding references. Shorter papers are welcome. They will undergo double-blind peer review. Authors may append to the paper supplementary material, such as appendices, proofs, and derivations; Like submissions, supplementary material must be anonymized. Looking at supplementary material is at the discretion of the reviewers.

  • Accepted works will be presented as spotlight talks or as posters in a poster session. It is mandatory that at least one of the authors will attend the workshop and present its work during the spotlight talks and the poster session. There will be a Best Paper Award and a Best Student Paper Award as voted by the program committees. The awarded papers will present as contributed talks in a separate session.

  • **UPDATED** Guideline regarding dual submission to another NeurIPS workshop: Dual submission to another NeurIPS workshop is allowed only if: 1) The workshop does not have proceedings; 2) The workshop will be held on a different date. The submitted papers must include the declaration of dual submission BEFORE the introduction section with the name of the workshop. If the workshop being submitted to does not meet the two requirements above, the paper will be desk rejected.

FAQ

  • Question: Will there be archival proceedings?

Answer: No. There will not be proceedings. The accepted papers will be released on OpenReview and the workshop website.

  • Question: Does the paper have to contain experiments for embodied AI applications?

Answer: It is not a strict requirement, but the authors should provide convincing evidence or explain how the proposed methods or findings will contribute to developing trustworthy embodied AI.

  • Question: How to claim dual submission to another NeurIPS workshop?

Answer: Please specify the name of the workshop you submit to at the last line of the abstract.
