WAIC Academic 2026

Call For Papers [Main Conference]征稿通知 [主会议]

WAICA 2026 is scheduled to take place in Shanghai, China. This event will be conducted in person, allowing attendees to fully immerse themselves in the conference experience.会议形式 WAICA 2026 计划于中国上海举行。本次会议将以线下形式开展，让参会者能够全身心投入会议体验。

With the rapid evolution of AIGC, traditional static PDFs can no longer fully capture the richness of AI-generated content. WAICA 2026 pioneers the 'Multimedia Paper' format, allowing authors to embed videos, audio, and 3D animations directly into their PDF submissions. This innovation ensures that dynamic research output is presented vividly and intuitively.鉴于人工智能（特别是 AIGC）的迅猛发展，传统的纯文本 PDF 已难以完全承载视频、音频等动态生成内容。为此，我们首创了多媒体论文投稿形式，支持在 PDF 文件中直接嵌入视频、音频及三维动画等丰富内容。这一举措旨在突破平面限制，全方位、立体化地展示前沿研究成果。

WAICA incorporates a rigorous double-blind review process.评审流程与伦理要求 WAICA 实行严格的双盲评审制度。

Papers that present data that include experiments on or with humans or animals and/or presentation or analysis of personally identifiable information, including aggregated data, must have obtained appropriate approval from the author(s)’ institution(s). An explicit statement regarding such approval must be included in the paper. For submissions under double-blind review, all identifying information must be properly anonymized.涉及人类或动物实验数据，以及涉及个人身份信息（含聚合数据）展示或分析的论文，必须获得作者所在机构的相应批准。论文中必须包含关于该批准的明确声明。对于双盲评审的稿件，所有身份信息必须经过适当的匿名处理。

Preprints Policy预印本政策

The submitted manuscript, or its title and abstract, must not be publicly posted on preprint servers or other public platforms, nor disseminated through public mailing lists, prior to submission, in order to preserve the integrity of the double-blind review process.为维护双盲评审流程的公正性，在投稿前，提交的手稿（或其标题与摘要）不得在预印本平台或其他公共平台上公开发布，亦不得通过公共邮件列表传播。

Conflict of Interest (CoI)利益冲突

Before submission, authors are required to declare and update all Conflicts of Interest (CoIs) in the submission system. A CoI arises when an individual’s objective judgment is, or may reasonably be perceived to be, compromised by an existing relationship, affiliation, or connection to another individual whose work is subject to evaluation.投稿前，作者必须在投稿系统中申报并更新所有利益冲突（CoI）。当个人的客观判断因现存关系、隶属关系或与其他被评估个体的联系而受到损害（或被合理视为可能受到损害）时，即构成利益冲突。

The following are considered examples of relationships that constitute a Conflict of Interest. Individuals in such relationships should not be involved in the peer review of, or decision-making process regarding, submissions from the related parties.以下关系被视为构成利益冲突的示例。处于此类关系中的人员不应参与相关方稿件的同行评审或决策过程：

The lifelong relationship between a student and their supervisor学生与其导师之间的终生关系
Within the last 24 months, or reasonably expected within the next year: working closely together (e.g., at the same institution, company, or organization, or within the same organizational team)过去 24 个月内，或预计在未来一年内：有密切工作关系（例如在同一机构、公司、组织或同一团队内工作）
Recipients of joint funding or participants in significant professional collaboration联合资助的接受者或重大专业合作的参与者
Joint authorship of an archival publication档案性出版物的共同作者
Personal or family relationships that would reasonably cause others to question the impartiality of the review可能导致他人质疑评审公正性的个人或家庭关系
Other notable personal or professional conflicts, whether publicly known or not其他显著的个人或职业冲突（无论是否公开）
