Aim and Who Should Attend

The seventh Doctoral Consortium for the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME) series of conferences will take place on Wednesday 21st June 2017 in conjunction with the 16th Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME 2017) to be held in Vienna, Austria (http://www.aimedicine.info/aime17/ <http://www.aimedicine.info/aime17/>). The Doctoral Consortium will provide an opportunity for PhD students to present their research plans or their preliminary work in an informal and supportive atmosphere. The PhD students will be able to discuss their plans, preliminary results (optional), and the specific problems they are encountering. They will get feedback and advice from a number of prominent academic researchers with substantial experience in the field who will actively give constructive feedback and advice and contribute to the discussions.

The Doctoral Consortium will host the presentations by about 6 PhD students who will be selected by the Doctoral Consortium chair. It will also include a short intensive tutorial on structuring a research paper (and the corresponding work) on different topics and with different perspectives (theoretical, methodological, experimental, application-oriented), and will be concluded with a general discussion and evaluation.
