[CfP] [CoKA] : --- 2nd Call --- "Conceptual Knowledge Acquisition: Challenges, Opportunities, and Use Cases" workshop at CONCEPTS 2024

by Tom Hanika

***CoKA: --- 2nd Call for Contributions*** ================================================================ Conceptual Knowledge Acquisition: Challenges, Opportunities, and Use Cases Workshop at the 1st International Joint Conference on Conceptual Knowledge Structures (CONCEPTS 2024) September 9–13 2024, Cádiz, Spain Workshop Website: https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/coka/ Conference website: https://concepts2024.uca.es ================================================================ Formal concept analysis (FCA) can help make sense of data and the underlying domain --- provided the data is not too big, not too noisy, representative of the domain, and if there is data in the first place. What if you don’t have such data readily available but are prepared to invest in collecting it and have access to domain experts or other reliable queryable sources of information? Conceptual exploration comes to the rescue! Conceptual exploration is a family of knowledge-acquisition techniques within FCA. The goal is to build a complete implicational theory of a domain (with respect to a fixed language) by posing queries to a domain expert. When properly implemented, it is a great tool that can help organize the process of scientific discovery. Unfortunately, proper implementations are scarce and success stories of using conceptual exploration are somewhat rare and limited in scope. With this workshop, we intend to analyze the situation and, maybe, find a solution. If - you succeeded in acquiring new knowledge about or building a satisfying conceptual representation of some domain with conceptual exploration before; - you attempted conceptual exploration in application to your problem but failed miserably; - you want to use conceptual exploration to analyze some domain, but you don’t know where and how to start; - you are aware of alternatives to conceptual exploration; then come to the workshop to share your experiences, insights, ideas, and concerns with us! ================== Keywords and Topics ================== Knowledge Acquisition and Capture Conceptual Exploration Design Patterns and Paradigmatic Examples successful use cases and real-world applications challenges and lessons learned application principles missing theoretical foundations missing technical infrastructure integration with other theories and technologies ========================= Duration, Format, and Dates ========================= We invite contributions in the form of an extended abstract of up to two pages. In addition, supplementary material, such as data sets, detailed descriptions, or visualizations, may be submitted. The workshop is planned for half a day within the conference dates and at the same venue. It will consist of several short presentations each followed by a plenary discussion. Please send your contributions until *July 10, 2024* to tom.hanika(a)uni-hildesheim.de. If you are not sure whether your contribution matches the topics or the format of the workshop, you are welcome to contact the organizers prior to submitting the abstract. An acceptance notification will be sent within two weeks upon receiving the submission. =================== Workshop Organizers =================== - Tom Hanika, University of Hildesheim - Sergei Obiedkov, TU Dresden - Bernhard Ganter, Ernst-Schröder-Zentrum, Darmstadt -- Dr. Tom Hanika Universität Kassel Tel.: +49 (0) 561 804 6252 https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/hanika ---------------------------------------------------------------------

EuADS Summer School on Generative AI

by Eyke Hüllermeier

Still a few more places available, but registration fee needs to be received by 29 May at the latest. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about Generative AI from the experts. The European Association for Data Science (EuADS) is pleased to announce the 2024 instalment of its popular Summer School series. What: EuADS Summer School on Generative AI When: 18-21 June 2024 Where: Maison d’Accueil (Convent of the Franciscan Sisters), 50 avenue Gaston Diderich, L-1420 Luxembourg-Belair Register until: May 15th, 2024 (extended till booked out) The rise of Generative AI, especially with the advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), marks a transformative era in artificial intelligence that is expanding across all disciplines. LLMs aim to bridge the communication gap between machines and humans, paving the way for models that can grasp the nuances of human language and generate outputs in various formats that mimic human cognition and creativity. The critical moment for Generative AI came with the adoption of neural networks, particularly transformer-based architectures, which have become its backbone. These models stand out for their profound ability to digest and learn from extensive corpora and datasets, and also to generate original, contextually rich content. But we are just at the beginning. The emerging models present challenges related to ethics, reliability, the way we experiment with these models, the scope of their inferences, their applications to more specific domains, etc. All this has created a vibrant field of work and opens the doors to a community that will find the right forum in this Summer School. The organisers have put together a highly attractive programme addressing the following topics: - Machines That Speak and Imagine: The Role of AI in Audio and Image Generation - LLMs: Foundations, Advancements, and Ethical Considerations - Generative AI for Data Analytics - Robust Evaluation of Generative AI - What Generative AI tells us about ourselves? The EuADS Summer School is preceded by a public event on Tuesday afternoon June 18th during which Peter Flach (University of Bristol, UK) will deliver this year's Sabine Krolak-Schwerdt Lecture entitled 'Data Science in the time of ChatGPT — Why AI isn’t solved, and how data science can help'. 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 including how to register see: https://www.euads.org/fjkdlasjdiglsmdgkcxjhvckh/euads-summer-school-913-487/ For participants there are a limited number of affordable rooms available at the Maison d’Accueil, please have a look at our website. There are several hotels within walking distance. However, please note it is very urgent to make your reservation now because the Councils of ministers of the EU are all held in Luxembourg during the month of June and therefore prices will rise in the coming months. It is also worth nothing that in Luxembourg all public transport is free of charge. We look forward to seeing you in Luxembourg in June.

ACM Transactions on Recommender Systems CFP: RecSys 4 Good

by Marko Tkalcic

CALL FOR PAPERS: ACM Transactions on Recommender Systems Special Issue on Recommender Systems for Good Submission deadline: 1. September 2024 https://dl.acm.org/pb-assets/static_journal_pages/tors/pdf/TORS_SI-Recommen… Guest Editors: - Marko Tkalčič, University of Primorska, Slovenia - Noemi Mauro, University of Turin, Italy - Alan Said, University of Gothenburg, Sweden - Nava Tintarev, University of Maastricht, Netherlands - Antonela Tommasel, ISISTAN, CONICET-UNCPBA, Argentina Recommender systems are among the most widely used applications of machine learning. Since they are so widely used, it is important that we, as practitioners and researchers, think about the impact these systems may have on users, society, and other stakeholders. In practice, the focus is often on systems and values of improving key performance indicators (KPIs), such as increased sales or customer retention. Recommendation technology is currently underutilized to serve societal goals that go beyond the business objectives of individual corporations. However, other values, bound more to societal good, could be considered in the development and goals of a recommender system. In fact, recommender systems have already been explored to stimulate healthier eating behavior and for improved health and well-being in general, to help low-income families make school choices, to suggest successful learning paths for students, to entice climate-protecting energy-saving behavior, to support fair micro-lending, or improve the information diets of news readers. Research in these areas is however limited in numbers, compared to the many papers that are published every year that propose new models for improved movie recommendations. Moreover, concerning the methodology and evaluation perspective in this area, it is essential to find a clear methodology and criteria for evaluating the effectiveness and "goodness" of the proposed algorithms. This includes acknowledging that different values may be conflicting, as well as resolving how and when (and by whom) certain values should be prioritized over others. Research on "Recommender Systems for Good" may benefit from an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on insights from fields such as computer science, ethics, sociology, psychology, law, and economics. Collaborations with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds can enrich the research and ensure that recommendations are grounded in real-world needs and values. This special issue aims to present state-of-the-art research works where recommender systems have a positive societal impact and help us address urgent societal challenges. It will thereby serve as a call to action for more research in these areas. Ultimately, through this special issue, we hope to establish a vision of "Recommender Systems for Good', following the spirit of the "AI for Good" initiative (https://aiforgood.itu.int) to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (2015) and the more recent UNESCO recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (2024) (https://www.unesco.org/en/artificial-intelligence/recommendation-ethics). Topics: We aim to collect the latest research on recommender systems for societal good. The topics of the special issues include (but are not limited to): - Recommender systems for safety, security, and privacy (e.g., reducing poverty and inequality) - Recommender systems that protect the environment and ecosystems (e.g., lower energy consumption, water and energy management) - Recommender systems that give control of data back to the users (e.g., transparency of data, models, and outputs) - Recommender systems for the interconnected society (e.g., increase of solidarity, online conversational health, multi-stakeholder recommenders) - Accountability in recommender systems, including addressing emerging regulations, such as the DSA (Digital Service Act) - Recommender systems for the public good (e.g., mental and physical health, welfare, digital literacy, stakeholder engagement, e-learning) - Introspective studies on the current state of RSs concerning societal good - Fairness-preserving and fairness-enhancing recommender systems, unbiased recommendations (e.g. to preserve gender equality) - Responsible recommendation (e.g., in social media and traditional news, avoiding filter bubbles and echo chambers) - Sustainability and Cultural recommendations (e.g., art, cultural heritage) - Recommendations to support disadvantaged groups (e.g., elderly, minorities) - Recommender systems for personal development and well-being (e.g., behavioral change, fitness, self-actualization, personal growth) Important Dates: - Submission deadline: September 1, 2024 - First-round review decisions: December 1, 2024 - Deadline for revision submissions: February 1, 2025 - Notification of final decisions: April 1, 2025 Submissions that are received before the first deadline will be directly sent out for review; papers will be immediately published online after acceptance. Submission Information: The special issue welcomes technical research papers, survey papers, and opinion/reflective papers. Each paper should address one or more of the abovementioned topics or be in other scopes of Recommender Systems for Good. The special issue will also consider peer-reviewed journal versions (at least 30% new content) of top papers from related recommender system conferences such as RecSys, SIGIR, KDD, CIKM, IUI, UMAP, CHI, WSDM, ACL, etc. The new content must be in terms of intellectual contributions, technical experiments, and findings. Submissions must be prepared according to the TORS submission guidelines (https://dl.acm.org/journal/tors/author-guidelines) and must be submitted via Manuscript Central (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tors).
