Call for Datasets and Resources

We also invite dataset papers which describe new data resources . Dataset paper submissions must comprise:

• The data itself -- organized as a single dataset or a group of datasets, and
• Metadata which describes data collection and processing methods, documentation of the structure and descriptive statistics about the content and quality of the dataset.
• Authors should describe potential uses and applications of the dataset, but any sophisticated analysis can be a regular paper submission.

All papers must follow AAAI formatting guidelines.
