AAAI Fall Symposium 2023 SPACA: Survival Prediction Algorithms, Challenges & Applications

https://sites.google.com/corp/view/spaca-2023/home
October 25-27, 2023 Arlington, VA, USA

Focus + Agenda

Survival analysis attempts to estimate the time until a specified event (eg, death of a patient) occurs, or some related survival measures, and is widely applicable for survival prediction and risk factor analysis. A key challenge in learning effective survival models is that this time-to-event data is subject to “censoring’’ so that the time to event is only known up to a bound for such instances. We seek contributions from researchers from diverse fields including machine learning, healthcare, medicine, finance and engineering. We anticipate this will foster interdisciplinary collaborations and will catalyze the development of the next generation of the survival prediction algorithms

Symposium Overview

The symposium will feature invited talks, paper and poster presentations, followed by discussion group sessions to explore open challenges and future directions in development of algorithms for survival prediction and their real-world adoption in various application domains.

Submission Requirements

Interested participants should submit either extended abstracts for the poster sessions (4 pages maximum) or full papers (6 pages maximum, excluding references) for position, review and work-in-progress pieces. We will also consider papers that include results that have already been published (with appropriate acknowledgement).

Submissions should be formatted according to the AAAI template and submitted through the AAAI Fall Symposium Series EasyChair site. Authors of accepted papers may choose to have their paper included in the archival proceedings published by AAAI. This is optional—accepted papers where authors do not opt in for the proceedings will be published on the symposium website and will not be considered archival for resubmission purposes.
