Policies for Conference Submissions:
Review Process: By submitting a paper to CRV, the authors agree to the review process and understand that papers are processed by the submission system to match each manuscript to the best possible chairs and reviewers.
Single-Blind Review: CRV reviewing is single-blind, in that authors do not know the names of the reviewers of their papers, but the reviewers do know the names of the authors.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism consists of appropriating the words or results of another, without credit. Generally, reviewers can recognize plagiarism when they see it; it is unlikely that a reviewer will be uncertain whether plagiarism has occurred. Our policy on plagiarism is to refer suspected cases to the IEEE Intellectual Property office, which has an established mechanism for dealing with plagiarism and wide powers of excluding offending authors from future conferences and from IEEE journals. You can find information on this office, their procedures, and their definitions of five levels of plagiarism at this link. We will be actively checking for plagiarism.
Large Language Models: Authors may use any tool(s), including Large Language Models (LLMs), that they find productive in preparing a paper, but must be aware that they are responsible for any misrepresentation, factual inaccuracy or plagiarism in their paper. Papers containing citations of non-existent material will be rejected when found, and may be desk-rejected. Similarly, papers containing obvious factual inaccuracies will be rejected when found and may be desk-rejected. If asked, authors must produce the prompts or other inputs to tools they used in the process of preparing the paper and the corresponding text that was generated by the tools.
Confidentiality: Submissions to CRV are confidential and are not published documents. Reviewers have the responsibility to protect the confidentiality of the ideas represented in them. The ideas contained in the submissions are considered new or proprietary by the authors, and may still be considered confidential by the authors’ employers. These organizations do not consider submitting a paper to CRV to constitute a public disclosure.
Author Registration: Before submission, please ensure that at least one author of each submission is committed to register and attend CRV 2024 if the submission is accepted.
Information for Paper Submission to the Workshop Track
Papers are to be submitted through the OpenReview paper management system.
Papers that would be considered in scope for the main conference would be considered in scope for the workshops. Please refer to the Call for Papers for information on the goals and scope of CRV 2024.
All authors must agree to the policies stipulated below:
-
Workshop submissions will only go through a very lightweight editorial process – instead of being formally peer reviewed, submissions will only be checked for the significance and promise of late-breaking results or the consideration and/or incorporation of reviewers’ feedback for results already published at other archival venues.
-
The editorial process for CRV workshops is single-blind: authors do not need to anonymize their submissions.
-
Submissions must be between 4 to 8 pages (two-column) long, excluding references and discussion on the consideration and/or incorporation of reviewer feedback if applicable. Submissions less than 6 pages will most likely be considered for poster sessions only.
-
Submissions should use the same template as submissions to the main conference, namely:
-
Submissions can contain late-breaking results and results published at other archival venues in 2023 or 2024. Submissions that only contain results published at archival venues in 2022 or prior will not be accepted.
-
For results previously published at other archival venues, the name of the venue must be declared, the reviews and meta-reviews from that venue must be provided and a discussion of how the outstanding comments in the reviews and meta-reviews have been addressed must be included at the end of the paper. This discussion should be on a separate page after the references and does not count towards the page limit. All authors on the paper published at the archival venue must be part of the author list on the workshop submission.
Policies for Workshop Submissions:
Editorial Process: By submitting a paper to the CRV workshops, the authors agree to the editorial process set out above and understand that papers are processed by the submission system to match each manuscript to the best possible chairs and moderators.
Single-Blind Moderation: The editorial process for CRV workshops is single-blind, in that authors do not know the names of the moderators of their papers, but the moderators do know the names of the authors.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism consists of appropriating the words or results of another, without credit. Generally, moderators can recognize plagiarism when they see it; it is unlikely that a moderator will be uncertain whether plagiarism has occurred. Our policy on plagiarism is to refer suspected cases to the IEEE Intellectual Property office, which has an established mechanism for dealing with plagiarism and wide powers of excluding offending authors from future conferences and from IEEE journals.

Confidentiality: Submissions to the CRV workshops are confidential and are not published documents. Moderators have the responsibility to protect the confidentiality of the ideas represented in them. The ideas contained in the submissions are considered new or proprietary by the authors, and may still be considered confidential by the authors’ employers. These organizations do not consider submitting a paper to CRV workshops to constitute a public disclosure.
Author Registration: Before submission, please ensure that at least one author of each submission is committed to register and attend CRV 2024 if the submission is accepted. There will be no separate registration for the main conference and workshops.
Non-archival: Accepted workshop papers are non-archival, will not be considered as standalone peer-reviewed publications and will not be part of the CRV 2024 proceedings.
Information for Reviewers and Moderators
Reviewers and moderators should assess the suitability of submissions for presentation at CRV 2024 in accordance with the reviewer guidelines.
Presentation Format for Accepted Papers
Every accepted paper (including both those accepted as orals and posters) will be presented during the poster session (held jointly with Canadian AI). Please make sure your poster is 5’ x 4’ or smaller. In addition, every paper accepted as an oral will be presented in a symposium session as a 12-minute talk followed by 3 minutes of questions. Every paper accepted as a poster will be presented as a 3-minute talk in a lightning talk session right before the poster session.
The workshop oral presentations will be held on Friday, May 31, 2024. Each oral will be a 12-minute talk followed by 3 minutes of questions. Workshop posters will be presented during the joint poster session of the main conference (Wednesday, May 29, 2024) and follow the same poster format.
