Applications (SPACA)*
Part of the AAAI Fall Symposium Series:
https://aaai.org/conference/fall-symposia/aaai-2023-fall-symposium-series/
*Description of symposium*
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.

Paper submission deadline: Friday, 11 August 2023
-
Acceptance notification: Friday, 1 September 2023
-
Camera-ready paper deadline: Friday, 15 September 2023
-
Registration deadline: Friday, 29 September 2023
-
Symposium dates: Wednesday - Friday, 25 - 27 October 2023
*Format of symposium*
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. We anticipate this
symposium will be in-person.
*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). Format papers using the AAAI
proceedings template:
https://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit23.zip
Submissions should be formatted according to the AAAI template and submitted
through the AAAI Fall Symposium Series EasyChair site at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fss230 – select the Second
Symposium on Survival Prediction: Algorithms, Challenges and Applications
(SPACA) track. 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 only on the symposium website and will not be considered archival
for resubmission purposes.
