[CFP] CHIL 2022 Call for Papers - Conference on Health, Inference and Learning (Virtual, April 7-8 2022)

We invite you to submit your work to the Conference on Health, Inference, and Learning (CHIL 2022), which solicits work across a variety of disciplines, including machine learning, statistics, epidemiology, health policy, operations, and economics. CHIL 2022 invites submissions on all topics at the intersection of machine learning and health. Authors are invited to submit 8-10 page papers (with unlimited pages for references) to each of the tracks described below.

Computer vision
Survival analysis
Deep learning architectures
Transfer learning, domain adaptation
Bayesian learning, inference
Structured learning

Track 2 (Applications and Practice):
Examination of robustness of ML systems to real-world dataset shift or adversarial shift
Scalable, safe machine learning/inference in clinical environments
New tools or comprehensive benchmarks for machine learning for healthcare
Development of scalable systems for processing data in practice (demonstrating, e.g., concern for multi-modality, runtime, robustness, etc., as guided by a clinical use case)
Bridging the deployment gap
Remote, wearable, and telehealth
Data or software packages

Track 3 (Impact and Society):
Fairness, equity, ethics and justice
Model implementation, deployment, and adoption
Policy, public health, and societal impact of algorithms

=== Submission Details and Guidelines ===
For full details, refer to the online call for papers: https://www.chilconference.org/call-for-papers.html

Submission
Submissions should be made via OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=chilconference.org/CHIL/2022/Conference.

Length and Formatting
Submitted papers must be 8-10 pages (including all figures and tables), plus unlimited pages for references. Additional supplementary materials (e.g., appendices) are welcomed alongside the main manuscript. Reviewers will not be required to read the supplementary materials. For additional details and LaTeX template, refer to the Author Instructions (https://www.chilconference.org/call-for-papers.html#tab-author-info).

Archival Submissions
As with prior years, submissions to the conference will be considered for both:

Archival proceedings and presentation. Submissions of this type are considered archival and will appear in the conference’s published proceedings, which will be made openly available in the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR).
Invited non-archival presentation. Submissions of this type are considered non-archival and will not appear in the conference’s published proceedings, but they will be invited to present during the conference (e.g. in a poster session).

Submissions to the main conference are considered archival and will appear in the published proceedings of the conference if accepted.

Dual Submission Policy
You may not submit papers that are identical, or substantially similar to versions that are currently under review at another conference or journal, have been previously published, or have been accepted for publication. Submissions to the main conference are considered archival and will appear in the published proceedings of the conference if accepted.
An exception to this rule is extensions of workshop papers that have previously appeared in non-archival venues, such as workshops, arXiv, or similar without formal proceedings. These works may be submitted as-is or in an extended form. CHIL also welcomes full paper submissions that extend previously published short papers or abstracts, so long as the previously published version does not exceed 4 pages in length. Note that the submission should not cite the workshop/report and preserve anonymity in the submitted manuscript.

Peer Review
The review process is mutually anonymous. Please submit completely anonymized drafts. Please do not include any identifying information, and refrain from citing the authors’ own prior work in anything other than third-person. Violations to this policy may result in rejection without review.
Conference organizers and reviewers are required to maintain confidentiality of submitted material. Upon acceptance, the titles, authorship, and abstracts of papers will be released prior to the conference.
