## ACM IUI 2021
ACM IUI 2021 is the 26th annual premier international forum for reporting  
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.

ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial  
Intelligence (AI) communities meet, with contributions from related fields  
such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer  
graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is on improving the  
interaction between humans and digital technology, by leveraging both HCI  
approaches and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning,  
natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and  
reasoning.

### Why you should submit to ACM IUI

While other conferences focus on either the AI or HCI side of this  
research, we address the complex interaction between the two. We strongly  
encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from both HCI  
and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other,  
but still highlight the connections between the two. We value papers that  
contribute methodology or theory for the evaluation of intelligent user  
interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect  
papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions.

ACM IUI welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas—academia, industry,  
government, and non-profit organizations—and gives its participants the  
opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and  
interactive setting. The conference is large enough to be diverse and  
lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among  
attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers,  
ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels  
and a doctoral consortium for graduate students.

### COVID-19 statement

We are monitoring the situation regarding the global pandemic and  
associated travel restrictions. If needed, we will offer a virtual  
presentation option if the conference cannot take place due to the global  
pandemic, or if registered authors from specific parts of the world cannot  
attend the conference.

## Papers
We accept two forms of contributions: full and short papers. They should  
both make novel contributions to IUI, however full papers should make more  
substantial and significant contributions, while short papers can contain  
more focused contributions.

Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation  
indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be  
invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM  
Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS,  
http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2021".
