We are soliciting proposals for short courses and tutorials centered around a coherent theme or topic within the general scope of UPCON 2022. The Tutorials will take place on 1st December, 2022 at the same venue as the main conference. Tutorials aiming to give a comprehensive overview of a specific topic related to the conference theme, “AI Everywhere To Everyone” are particularly welcome. A good tutorial should be educational rather than just a cursory survey of techniques. The topic should be of sufficient relevance and importance to attract significant interest from the graduate students, researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. We invite proposals for both Half- Day and Full-Day tutorials, but anticipate that most tutorials will be Half-Day unless the topic is expected to attract widespread community attention or will require the additional time. We encourage the prospective tutorial organizers to submit well-planned proposals that are specific and detailed in justifying relevance and viability.

Submission Instructions:

Submit your proposals in PDF format on or before 31st July, 2022 by email in the attached format to the Tutorials Chairs: Dr. Ramesh Kumar Bhukya (rkbhukya@iiita.ac.in) and Dr. Anshu S Anand (anshu@iiita.ac.in). Proposals should include the following:
