Call for Tutorials

The PRICAI-2026 organizers invite proposals for the Tutorial Program of the 23rd Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (PRICAI-2026). The tutorials will be held on November 17-20, 2026, in Guangzhou, China. The aim of the Tutorial Program is to provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to explore exciting advances in the principles and practices of AI..

Tutorial Proposal Submission

PRICAI-2026 Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:

• Introduce researchers to major topics of research in the PRICAI community;
• Provide instruction in established practices and methodologies;
• Survey a mature area of PRICAI research or practice;
• Motivate and explain topics of emerging importance to the PRICAI community;
• Survey an area of research especially relevant for people from industry.

Note: The PRICAI organization will not hand out any material to attendees, but we expect tutorial presenter to upload their materials (e.g., slides, software, etc.) online before the event. PRICAI-2026 will be on site for presenting the tutorials.

Tutorial Proposal

Tutorials are intended to provide an overview of the field. They should present reasonably well-established information in a balanced way. Tutorials should not be used to advocate a single avenue of research, nor should they promote a product. Tutorials can be held in either half-day or full-day, and should be no more than three pages long, excluding the resumes of the presenters and the supplementary materials.

Tutorial proposals for PRICAI-2026 should contain the following information:

• Title of the tutorial;
• Acronym of the tutorial;
• The name and email address of the presenter(s);
• Please give a few keywords of different granularity.
• For example, a tutorial on Sentiment Analysis may include: Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Deep- Learning, LSTM, etc;
• Suggested duration of the tutorial: half-day, full-day, or two days. The timeline will be determined according to the demographic distribution of the participants. We will decide it together with the tutorial instructor;
• Mode of tutorial for participants: On-site;
• A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure;
• Detailed outline of the tutorial;
• List of supplemental material augmented with samples, such as past tutorial slides and survey articles, whenever possible;
• Characterisation of the target audience for the tutorial;
• Estimated number of participants: Please estimate the audience size (large audience is not always preferable);
• Prerequisite knowledge: What knowledge is assumed of the target audience;
• Motivation on why the tutorial topic would be of interest to the PRICAI audience? What will the audience walk away with?
• A brief résumé of the presenter(s), which should include:
  • Name;
  • Current positions: Ph.D. Student, Postdoc, Professor, Researcher, etc.;
  • Affiliation;
  • Postal address;
  • Phone and fax numbers;
  • Email address;
  • Background in the tutorial area;
  • Any available example of work in the area, ideally a published tutorial-level article or presentation materials on the subject, evidence of teaching experience such as courses taught or references that address the proposer's presentation skills, and evidence of scholarship in Artificial Intelligence or Computer Science.

The evaluation of the proposal will take into account the level of general interest for PRICAI attendees, the quality of the proposal, and the expertise and skills of the presenters.

For all accepted proposals, PRICAI will be responsible for:

• Providing publicity for the tutorials;
• Providing logistic support and a meeting place for the tutorials;
• Together with the organizers, determining the tutorials date and time.
