Abstract Selection Procedure:
Abstract Selection Procedure:
We received 35 submissions during the open abstract call (March 13- April 3). All submitted abstracts were double-blind reviewed by the external abstract reviewing committee (listed above). Based on the quality and relevance of the content, the reviewers assigned a score to each abstract. To ensure impartiality in the selection process, we utilized reviewer preference normalization. This compensation method adjusts scores in case a reviewer's scores are consistently different from how other reviewers scored the same papers. Using this approach, the ten abstracts with the highest scores were selected to be presented at the workshop.
