HHAI 2024 - The third International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence

by Grootjen, Jesse

Call for Participation: HHAI2024 – The third International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence June 10-14, 2024, Malmö, Sweden Call for Papers & Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals In this message, we shortened each call to their essentials – the full text of each call is available on the website: https://hhai-conference.org/2024/ Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI) is an international conference series that focuses on the study of Artificial Intelligence systems that cooperate synergistically, proactively and purposefully with humans, amplifying instead of replacing human intelligence. HHAI aims for AI systems that work together with humans, emphasizing the need for adaptive, collaborative, responsible, interactive and human-centered intelligent systems. HHAI systems leverage human strengths and compensate for human weaknesses, while taking into account social, ethical and legal considerations. The HHAI field is driven by developments in AI, but it also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions. Thus, we encourage collaborations across research domains such as AI, HCI, cognitive and social sciences, philosophy & ethics, complex systems, and others. In this third international conference, we invite scholars from these fields to submit their best original – new as well as in progress – works, and visionary ideas on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence. Call for Papers (Main track) Important dates - Abstract submission: January 26, 2024 - Paper submission: February 2, 2024 - Acceptance notification: March 29, 2024 - Camera-ready version: April 12, 2024 Topics We invite research on different challenges in Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence. The following list of topics is illustrative, not exhaustive: - Human-AI interaction and collaboration - Adaptive human-AI co-learning and co-creation - Learning, reasoning and planning with humans and machines in the loop - User modeling and personalisation - Integration of learning and reasoning - Transparent, explainable, and accountable AI - Fair, ethical, responsible, and trustworthy AI - Societal awareness of AI - Multimodal machine perception of real world settings - Social signal processing - Representations learning for Communicative or Collaborative AI - Symbolic and narrative-based representations for human-centric AI - Role of Design and Compositionality of AI systems in Interpretable / Collaborative AI We welcome contributions about all types of technology, from robots and conversational agents to multi-agent systems and machine learning models. Paper types In this conference, we wish to stimulate the exchange of novel ideas and interdisciplinary perspectives. To do this, we will accept three different types of papers: - Full papers present original, impactful work (12 pages excl. references) - Blue sky papers present visionary ideas to stimulate the research community (8 pages excl. references) - Working papers present work in progress (8 pages excl.references) Accepted full papers and Blue sky papers will be published in the Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Hybrid Human-Machine Intelligence, in the Frontiers of AI series by IOS Press. Working papers can be included in these proceedings, unless the authors request the paper to remain unpublished. Work should be submitted in PDF format via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hhai2024 Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals We invite proposals for two-day, full-day and half-day workshops at HHAI 2024. We also invite tutorials to run alongside the workshops. The workshops and tutorials will form part of the first edition of the HHAI Summer School. The HHAI 2024 workshops and tutorials provide a platform for discussing a topic related to Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence with an audience specifically interested in that topic in an informal setting (compared to the main conference). We invite submissions for events that foster cross-disciplinary interaction, scientific discourse, and creative and critical reflection, rather than just being mini-conferences. We offer organizers flexibility on formats that best suit the goals of their event. We also welcome submissions from research communities that may not be prominently featured in AI events and conferences. Important Dates - Workshop and tutorial proposals: January 31, 2024 - Proposal acceptance notification: February 7, 2024 - Deadline for announcing the Call for Contributions to the workshops: February 14, 2024 - Recommended deadline for submissions to the workshops: April 10, 2024 - Recommended deadline for notifications on the submissions: May 2, 2024 - Workshops and tutorials at HHAI2024: June 10-11, 2024 Proposals should be submitted via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hhai2024 Location HHAI 2024 will be an in-person, single-track conference, held in Malmö, Sweden on June 10-14, 2024.

In this non-standardize scenario, semantic treatment becomes a key issue to allow interoperability between systems and enterprise information consumption. Ontology engineering came with the adequate tools for dealing with semantic in this environment nowadays, by orienting the development of domain ontologies and the embodiment of the ontology artifacts into information system applications.

Similarly to other domains of application, ontologies within the digital humanities serve diverse purposes, including the seamless organization of datasets across multiple organizations to enable their smooth sharing and integration. However, within this landscape, critical studies pertaining to the interpretive reception of artworks – or any entity central to humanities research – have remained at the margins of knowledge representation and data modeling efforts. Consequently, while numerous digital platforms offer ontology-based datasets, only a few explicitly address the interpretive dimension of scholarly inquiries. This absence is somewhat surprising considering the significance of interpretive phenomena in critical studies of fine art, literature, music, theater, and other disciplines.

Hello, The IRISA lab of University Rennes invites applications for the attached postdoctoral position. *Job title: *postdoc 24 months, starting January 2024 *Project*: MeKaNo (ANR), 2023-2026 *Research Lab*: IRISA, Rennes, France *Team*: LACODAM *Contact*: ferre(a)irisa.fr, peggy.cellier(a)irisa.fr *Keywords*: semantic web, knowledge graphs, query languages, microdata, user interaction *Context and Objectives*: In MeKaNo, we aim to search the web with "Things" (entities), in order to get more accurate results over a wide diversity of sources. Traditional web search engines search the web with strings. However, keyword search often returns many irrelevant documents, pushing users to refine their keyword list following a trial-and-error process. On the other hand, Knowledge Graphs (KG) like Wikidata [1] enable users to search for Things and facts, and to get exact answers. However, there may exist many answers on the web that are not part of the knowledge graph. Moreover, nowadays, many websites include entities and facts in the form of microdata [2], for which there is no query engine so far. In MeKaNo, we aim at combining the querying of knowledge graphs and microdata together in order to reconcile the accuracy of KG querying, and the diversity of web search. To search the web with Things, we face several scientific challenges. Among them, an important one is the definition of a query language that combines knowledge graph querying, web search, and microdata querying. Another challenge is to assist users in the building of such complex queries [3]. We already have an approach (Sparklis [4]) that assists users in knowledge graph querying. The objective of the postdoc is to extend this approach to include web search and microdata querying. *Requirements*: The candidate must hold a Ph.D in Computer Science, preferably in the field of the Semantic Web. Skills in query languages (SPARQL), language design, web programming are a plus. *Application method:* To apply send an email to sebastien.ferre(a)irisa.fr and peggy.cellier(a)irisa.fr with attached a single PDF containing: * Cover letter in which you describe your motivation and qualifications for the position. * Curriculum vitae, including a list of your publications and the contact information of references. *References*: 1.
