Machine learning friends
The South African Center of Artificial Intelligence Research, SACAIR, is holding a conference in February 2021. I am, in fact, sure that many of you have sent in conference papers that under review at this very moment. I send this email, however, to instead call for the youthful researchers who did not have the capacity to write full-blown articles.
The SACAIR unconference is being held prior to the original conference and aims to provide a more care-free research environment for new and not yet fully-studied ideas. This means less strict reviews and more freedom for outlandish A.I. concepts. We call on any researcher of data to write us a 2-page extended summary and come present these papers at the unconference (note that we do have a limit to the number of published papers, and so a reviewing process will still take place).
We believe this platform is especially useful for 4th-year students working on their Honors or final year projects to provide a glimpse of article writing before embarking on further research degrees. We also built this platform to encourage researchers who could and should be part of the A.I. conversation but who do not fall part of general computer scientists / A.I. philosophy streams. I mean the Lawyers, the Politicians, or anyone that recognizes the pressing nature of the 4th Industrial Revolution and needs the platform to discuss it.
The call for papers of the SACAIR unconference is attached below and we are eager to hear your ideas! Please do visit our website for more information at sacair.org.za.
Note, rejected papers from the main conference will also be given the opportunity to send extended summaries to the unconference. This process will, however, be communicated, so please do not write unconference papers on the same topics as already submitted conference papers.
Here's to a good last few months of 2020!

The first thing you notice about Mwenesi Musalia is his confidence and dapper look. Mwenesi, a commercial lawyer who has held senior management positions in the past 10 years, has found his passion for corporate and personal brand management. Having founded his own strategy and communications firm, House of Major, he is what many would consider a definition of success. However, this man has a story to tell and it's a story that peels back the layers of his apparent success. Join us on October 17th as he shares his story at #Engage32. The live show premieres on our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/engagetalk at 8:00pm. To be part of this, register for FREE on our website to receive a reminder email before the event www.engage.or.ke/event/engage-32-comeback/
