Call for Contributions for the Doctoral Consortium 2025

 

Submission

Unlike other conference submissions, a Doctoral Consortium submission pertains specifically to the PhD thesis as a whole or part thereof (thereafter both will be termed the research work). Submissions should describe (in 2000-2500 words, approx. 4-5 pages) a research plan on a topic related to AI in medicine and include the following elements:

  • Title and author
  • The problem, with an argument of why it is important
  • The goal and the research questions,
  • The planned approach and methods for solving the problem
  • An outline of what is already known about the research problem
  • The expected results from the research work like overviews, algorithms, better understanding of a concept, a pilot, model or system
  • Any questions you might have or problems you encounter for which you specifically would like feedback on such as:
    • Do I need to write a systematic review before I start?
    • How should I proceed?
    • Where should I consider publishing?
    • How should I evaluate my work?
    • Which courses would suit me best to carry out the work?
    • Is it normal to meet my supervisor once a week/month/year?

 

Submissions be formatted according to the Springer’s LNCS format:

  • Submissions will undergo a common review process with 2-3 reviewers per paper made by the Academic Panel

 

Based on reviews, the Doctoral Consortium chair will select about 6 submissions to be presented and discussed during the meeting. The selection will be based on the relevancy to AI in medicine topics (see for example the scope for AIME 2025), relevancy to the doctoral consortium (there is for example no point to present finished work at the meeting), the clarity of writing, and the resulting spectrum of presented topics. Selected submissions will appear in workshop notes that will be distributed among conference participants.

For more information about the Doctoral Consortium please contact Jose M. Juarez.
