The AI*IA 2014 Doctoral Consortium was organized with the aim of providing a full-immersion occasion, for Ph.D. students, to discuss their ongoing research work, establish research connections with peer researchers, and receive rst-class mentorship from domain experts. The event included two main sessions: { PAPER SESSION: The innovative feature is that Ph.D. students submitting papers were involved in the reviewing process of other submissions, thus providing a 'behind-the-scenes' perspective of the workshop. This format was successfully introduced in AI*IA 2013 Doctoral Workshop1. { IDEA SESSION: For this session, Ph.D. students were welcome to submit an abstract of their ongoing research work. Selected 'ideas' had then been assigned a senior supervisor; on the consortium day, each of idea was discussed in an open brainstorming, putting together the senior expert in the eld and various Ph.D. students working on related topics.
