Abstract

Any research field is as healthy as the new talent that it is able to attract, and AI is no exception. For this reason, AI conferences hold mentoring events for doctoral students and researchers in the early stages of their careers to support their advancement and connections to other researchers in the field. SIGAI holds one such event annually at the AAAI conference: the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium. But we think that much more can be done, as these events are held once a year and do not necessarily cover all the topics that young researchers would want to.
