1. Which accepted papers have an oral presentation?
All papers of all tracks (main track, special track on the evolution of the contours of AI, survey track, sister conference track, journal track, early career spotlight talks, as well as demos when the authors have selected this option.
2. Which accepted papers have an poster presentation?
All papers of all tracks (if the authors are
willing to), but not papers that belong to the
Video track.
3. I have a
main track paper but I forgot to answer the
poll asking whether I wanted to present a
poster, will it be possible to present a
poster anyway?
Yes (and by default we are assuming that you are wiling to).
4. When will my poster
be presented?
The poster corresponding to a talk will be exhibited for a full day. Authors should set up their posters in the morning and are advised to stand by their poster at coffee breaks and, if possible, during lunch break.
All papers will have their poster exhibited on the same day.
You must hang your poster before 8:30 in the morning of your day where the poster is presented, and remove it at the end of the day. Please choose an empty poster board to hang your poster.
The size of the available panels will be A0
size in vertical format (1189 mm in height x 841
mm in width).
Both A0 and A1 are allowed for the poster size.
5. Can I print
a poster on the conference site?
Yes, please see https://ijcai19.medmeeting.org/Content/133647
6. What are
the instructions for oral presentation?
Speakers should bring their slides loaded on a
USB and upload them on the computer in the room
where the session is held. You should upload
your presentation slides at least 20 minutes
before your session starts (if you session
starts on 8:30 it is a good idea to upload them
the day before). You should be present in the
session room ten minutes before your session
starts and make yourself known to the session
chair. The rooms will be equipped with a lectern
and microphone, as well as a laser pointer.
Most common
file types are accepted, but we advise you to
bring a PDF in any case.
When you
answer questions, try to be as succinct as
possible. If you take two minutes to answer
your first question, there will be no second
question.
7. Is it
possible to use my own laptop?
No, because it would incur a loss of time. (Exceptions may be possible under exceptional and justified circumstances.)
8. What is the
duration of my presentation?
Main track, sister conference track, journal track: 15 minutes including questions. (This is short but this is the price to pay for giving a slot for oral presentation to all accepted papers.) I advise you to leave two minutes for one or two questions at the end of your presentation.
Survey track: 15 minutes including questions.
Special tracks: 15 minutes including questions.
Early career talks: 20-30 minutes on the specific session (including questions.)
9. Can I
present my paper remotely (e.g., by Skype?)
No, I’m sorry. If none of the coauthors can
attend, please contact me (sarit@cs.biu.ac.il).
10. Is it
possible to request a last-minute change?
No. Please contact me if there is a problem
(sarit@cs.biu.ac.il).
11. I am a
session chair. What should I do?
You should be present in the room at least 15 minutes before the session starts.
Make sure all the speakers are in the room at least 10 minutes before the session starts and that all presentation have been uploaded on the computer.
Make sure the session starts on time.
Before the session starts, insist that the presentation including questions will not exceed 15 minutes, and that the default is 12 minutes. Explain to the speaker that you will show them a sign at half way (six minutes before the end of these 12 minutes), then two minutes before, and then after the 12 minutes are over.
Take questions as long as there are at least one minute left. If the questions take to long, don’t hesitate to interrupt them.
In case there is a problem during the session, please contact a volunteer.
