[AISWorld] One Week Left to Submit to CODE at MIT!

[Sinan Aral]

Dear All,

Just a friendly reminder that there is one week left to submit work to the
Conference on Digital Experimentation at MIT... The deadline is Friday
August 15!

We have already received a significant number of submissions and space is
limited, so please submit your best work on digital experiments to
info at codecon.net as soon as possible (and latest by August 15)! We have a
great line up coming together and we hope to see you there!

Here is some more information about the conference:

Myself, Erik Brynjolfsson and Sandy Pentland are very excited to announce that
the first *Conference on DigitalExperimentation (CODE) @ MIT* will take
place this October 10-11, 2014 at the Sloan School of Management!

Details of the event can be found at: www.codecon.net.

The ability to rapidly deploy micro-level randomized experiments at
population scale is, in our view, one of the most significant innovations
in modern social science. When appropriately theorized and rigorously
applied, randomized experiments are the gold standard of causal inference
and a cornerstone of effective policy. But the scale and complexity of
these experiments also create scientific and statistical challenges for
design and inference.

The purpose of the Conference on Digital Experimentation at MIT (CODE) is
to bring together leading researchers conducting and analyzing large scale
randomized experiments in digitally mediated social and economic
environments, in various scientific disciplines including economics,
computer science and sociology, in order to lay the foundation for ongoing
relationships and to build a lasting multidisciplinary research community.

We have assembled an amazing group of invited speakers from both industry
and academia who have been thinking about and leading the way in the realm
of digital experimentation.

Invited Speakers Include:

Eric Anderson, Kellogg
Alessandro Aquisti, CMU
Susan Athey, Stanford
Esther Duflo, MIT
Eric Horvitz, Microsoft
Jeremy Howard, Kaggle
Ron Kohavi, Microsoft
Karim Lakhani, Harvard
John Langford, Microsoft
David Lazer, Northeastern
Sendhil Mullainathan, Harvard
Claudia Perlich, Distillery
David Reiley, Google
Hal Varian, Google
Dan Wagner, Civis
Duncan Watts, Microsoft

Participants will be selected based on submissions of 3-page extended
abstracts. *Please submit an extended abstract of no more than 3 pages to
Susan Young (info at codecon.net) by August 15th*.

*Abstracts will be evaluated as they are submitted and evaluation will
continue until the program is filled. Space is limited, so interested
researchers should submit their abstracts as soon as possible*.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be *notified by September 1st* and will
be expected to submit a *final version* in Microsoft Word format not to
exceed 5 pages, including references and figures, *by September 12th*.
Accepted abstracts will be distributed as informal working notes. Members
of the press may attend the event and be present during presentations, so
please take this into account when choosing the work you submit.

*Key Dates*:

Workshop: October 10-11, 2014
Abstract Submission Deadline: August 15, 2014
Notification to Authors: September 1, 2014
Final Abstract Submission: September 12, 2014
Early Registration Deadline: September 19, 2014
Onsite Registration: October 10, 2014



Please submit your best work on Digital Experiments Soon!


Warm regards
