This program involves up to 2.5 months of mentorship. As a mentee, you will receive feedback/ suggestions for improvement on aspects such as (1) the direction of the design; (2) models and experiments; (3) results analysis; (4) presentation/organization of the final paper you plan to submit to ML4H 2023.
Mentees and mentors are encouraged to have bi-weekly one-hour meetings to discuss the paper's progress
(e.g., the mentors and mentees matched during the first round will have approximately four one-hour meetings over eight weeks).Mentorship applications continue to be accepted on a rolling basis. Currently, as all mentors have been assigned, new applicants will be added to a waitlist until new mentors can be identified. As the Author Mentorship Program ends on Sept 7, new applicants on the waitlist may not receive a match in time for the ML4H submission deadline.
Timeline for first round matches:
June 18 – June 19: Details about initial mentee-mentor pair-ups are sent out.
June 19 – June 23: Mentees are expected to initiate contact with their mentor and arrange an initial meeting. In this meeting, the mentees should discuss the paper’s idea and outline with the mentors as well as the plan (dates, format, expectations, etc) for their bi-weekly meetings.
June 23 – Sept 7: The mentors and mentees will meet on a bi-weekly basis to work on the paper. After each meeting, the mentees are expected to incorporate the mentors’ feedback and send an updated draft of the paper to the mentors.
Sept 7: ML4H Submission deadline.
Mentors and mentees will be matched at random based on your shared research areas.
