The European Association for Data Science (EuADS) is pleased to announce
the next edition of its summer school series.
What: EuADS Summer School on Data Science for Explainable and Trustworthy AI
When: 7-9 June, 2022
Where: Chambre de Commerce, Kirchberg, Luxembourg
Register until: May 31st, 2022
With an ever increasing number of applications of artificial
intelligence (AI), there is also a growing need to establish trust in AI
systems. In this regard, a major obstacle is a lack of understanding of
the inner working of many of such systems and AI models, even among AI
experts.
Explainable AI (XAI) aims to develop methods that are able to explain
how decisions are made and actions are taken by the machine, in a way
that is understandable to humans. Its goal is to make AI more
transparent, to increase trust in the technology, and to ensure that it
is used in an ethical way. In this regard, trustworthy AI becomes
important to ensure an ethical, transparent, and accountable use of AI
systems. AI should be aligned with the values and interests of the
society, and make sure that the use of AI systems does not lead to
unfair or discriminating outcomes.
In a series of tutorials by renowned international experts, the EuADS
Summer School 2023 will elaborate on the role of data science in XAI and
explain how data science methods can help to increase transparency and
establish trust in AI systems.
The Summer School is preceded by a public event on Tuesday, June 6th, in
which Wolfgang Härdle (HU Berlin,
https://www.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/de/administration/fakultaetsverwaltung/Staff/…
) will deliver the Sabine Krolak-Schwerdt Lecture. The public event will
be followed by a welcome reception.
The Summer School is planned as an in-person event and the symposium as
an hybrid event. For more information about both events and registration

Artificial Intelligence, Causality and Personalized Medicine (AICPM 2023)
https://aicpm2023.de/
Call for abstract submission
Benefiting from a huge amount of data with multiple modalities in the big
data era, the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is
contributing to advances in medical applications. Such applications include
genetic data are analysed for predicting risks of cancer or treatment
outcome in oncology; clinical data from electronic health records are useful
for predicting specific diseases, such as sepsis in intensive care units;
and bio-signals can be processed by AI for many applications, such as
electrocardiography. In particular, personalised medicine will benefit from
intelligent, reliable, and responsible AI systems, therefore improving care
and the quality of life.
Current machine learning systems often lack understanding of the
relationship between causes and effects in their domain. Causal reasoning
is, therefore, being recognized as a missing piece in AI methods.
Integrating causality into machine learning methods will be integral for
designing next generation intelligent systems. The causality framework
allows researchers to represent medical background knowledge in an
explainable manner. Thus, causal AI promises to improve further personalised
medical applications with trustworthy and fair decision-making.
In this context, the AICPM Symposium is calling for high-quality abstract
submissions in the research field of AI and medicine, with the goal of
promoting research development and agenda setting in this interdisciplinary
domain.
We invite discussions at the intersection of AI and outlined topics in
medicine. The research topics include, but are not limited to:
* Specific uses and use cases of AI and ML in medical
contexts, lessons learned and best practices
* Reporting of specific data-intensive medical experiments
* Prototypes of AI systems in medical applications, decision
support systems
* Machine learning approaches in medical applications
* Causality of AI in personalised medicine
* Trustworthy AI in personalised medicine
* Ethical and fair AI in personalised medicine
The selected abstracts will be invited to be presented either in poster or
oral format. There will also be an opportunity to submit full papers for
publication in the Proceedings of the symposium. For submission we will
follow the LNCS format. The overleaf link can be found

Final Call for Papers: 28th International Conference on Conceptual
Structures (ICCS 2023)

About ICCS
**********
The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) focus on
the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge at the
crossroads of artificial intelligence, human cognition, computational
linguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive
science. The ICCS conferences evolved from seven annual workshops on
conceptual graphs, starting with an informal gathering hosted by John F.
Sowa in 1986. Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and
reasoning (KRR) paradigms have been getting more and more attention.
With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations
provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to human users.
ICCS 2023 will take place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023.
Scholars, students and industry participants from different disciplines
will meet for several weeks of conferences, workshops, summer schools,
and public events to engage with the broad topics, issues and challenges
related to knowledge in the 21st century.
Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously
unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of
conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). All papers will
receive mindful and rigorous reviews that will provide authors with
useful critical feedback. The aim of the ICCS 2023 conference is to
build upon its long-standing expertise in graph-based KRR and focus on
providing modelling, formal and application results of graph-based
systems. In particular, the conference welcomes contributions that
address graph-based representation and reasoning paradigms (e.g.
Bayesian Networks (BNs), Semantic Networks (SNs), RDF(S), Conceptual
Graphs (CGs), Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, Graph
Databases, Diagrams, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, etc.) from a
modelling, theoretical and application viewpoint.

*****************************************
The 21st International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis will take
place April 12-14, 2023 in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
https://ida2023.org/
* Deadline extended to 18/11/2022 *
Authors are invited to submit original contributions on the topic of
intelligent data analysis. IDA’s mission is to promote ideas over
performance. Thus, while each contribution should contain some
theoretical or empirical evaluation, exhaustive evaluation is not
required as long as a convincing and solid motivation is given.
Submissions will undergo a single-blind review process (author
identities are known to reviewers). The conventional reviewing process,
which favors incremental advances on established work, can discourage
the kinds of papers that IDA 2023 aims to publish. The reviewing process
will address this issue explicitly: referees will evaluate papers on the
basis of novelty, technical quality, potential impact, and clarity.
Furthermore, each submission will be reviewed by one of the senior
program committee members. Any paper for which an SPC makes a convincing
argument about how it addresses the symposium’s goals will be accepted
independent of the overall review score.
All accepted paper contributions will be published in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science series by Springer-Verlag. Proceedings from previous
IDA symposia have appeared in the same series over the last two decades.
It is required that at least one author of each accepted paper registers
for the conference and presents and discusses the contribution at the
conference.
*Formatting instructions*
Contributions, written in English, must be formatted according to the
guidelines of the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) series by
Springer-Verlag, which are available together with templates here:
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sprin…p;reserved=0.
We strongly recommend using the LNCS template for LaTeX. The page limit
for any contribution, including figures, title pages, references, and
appendices, is 10-12 pages in LNCS format. Submission of the
camera-ready version of the paper has to include the authors’ consent to
publish on the above Springer LNCS website.
Authors may not submit any paper which is under review elsewhere or
which has been accepted for publication in a journal or another
conference; neither will they submit their papers elsewhere during the
review period of IDA 2023.
*Submission*
Papers must be submitted electronically, in PDF format, via the IDA 2023
EasyChair submission website
(https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair…);reserved=0).
