COVID-19 has never alleviated its influence in every corner around the world. For the safety concern of all participants, we decided to cancel the on-site conference and make it an online activity. The virtual conference is also effective and convenient for academic exchange and communication. Everyone interested in this field are welcomed to join the online conference on our YouTube channel and to give comments and raise questions to the speeches and presentations. We are hoping the pandemic to soon come to an end and we could see each other in Stanford next year.
All invited authors at the virtual conference will be giving their presentations using pre-recorded videos. The recommended length of the videos is between 10 and 15 minutes. An official YouTube channel of the online conference will be created. All accepted videos will be uploaded to our channel. Discussion on the content of the papers will be conducted in the comment section of the videos. You can refer to the CONF-SPML 2021 YouTube Channel for more information about the format of the conference.
Treated in the same way as an onsite conference, speakers in the online conference will also receive a printed certificate of oral presentation. The presentation videos will be listed on the official YouTube channel permanently.

Invited presenters can follow the instruction to record and upload your presentations. Every presenter should make their own slides including one designated cover slide and record a video within the time limit. The recommended length of the videos is between 10 and 15 minutes. The video and slides should be in widescreen format (16:9). The slides can be created in any presentation software, e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote, etc., which allows you to export slides to PDF. You should upload the final video as well as the exported slides in PDF format to gofile.io and email the link to us. Download THIS FILE to look through more information.
Comments and discussions are welcomed in the comment section of the videos. All participants may send the questions to us via email as well. We will send those questions privately to authors and the deadline for them to reply is May 26th. All the discussions will be concluded and posted in the comment section at last.
You can choose other online storage platforms (wetransfer.com, cowtransfer.com are our other recommendations) to upload your files. If your email service has the ability to send large files within their system, you could also send the files directly to us. PLEASE DO NOT upload the video directly to YouTube or any other video hosting websites by yourself and send us a link to it.
