[DMANET] CFP: Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation during Pandemics @ ACM GoodIT2021
Call For Papers: Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation
during Pandemics In conjunction with the ACM International Conference
on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2021)
The GoodIT conference is sponsored by ACM SIGCAS, the Association for
Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computers & Society.
The conference focuses on the application of IT technologies to social
good.
The Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation during
Pandemics focuses on new data technologies based on artificial
intelligence, data governance, machine learning, natural language
processing, and social network analysis to aid experts in analyzing
large volumes of social media data in order to detect fake news,
misinformation, and disinformation. A number of open challenges need
more investigation from the research community, such as recent trends
in composing information disorder by combining false and real content,
the mechanisms that drive fake content diffusion during pandemics, how
to differentiate fake content from personal viewpoints, why people
tend to believe fake content and make decisions based on it during
pandemics, and what are the different motivations behind the
dissemination of fake content. Fact-checking and claim verification
are two important strategies that are worth incorporating in the
automated tackling and curtailment of fake content during and after
pandemics.

[DMANET] CFP MESINESP2 (BioASQ / CLEF2021 shared task) on semantic indexing of heterogenous health content: literature, clinical trials and patents
*** CFP2 MESINESP2 track:
Medical Semantic Indexing (BioASQ - CLEF 2021) ***
https://temu.bsc.es/mesinesp2/
MESINESP2 Awards by BSC-Plan TL [2,700 EUR]
Test sets and additional data are now available
There is a pressing need for advanced multilingual semantic search
strategies for health related content like literature, patents and clinical
trials (cross-genre). The use of semantic search techniques in combination
with structured vocabularies is critical for sophisticated searches or
content analysis as needed by healthcare professionals, researchers, the
pharmaceutical industry, patient groups and private citizens.
Following the impact of past BioASQ tracks for benchmarking studies (e.g.
BioBERT) and organization of other initiatives like BioCreative or IberLEF,
we propose three semantic labelling subtracks using the widely used DeCS
vocabulary (similar to MeSH terms):
MESINESP-L - Scientific Literature: for automatic labelling of medical
literature abstracts in Spanish (including recent COVID-19 literature).
MESINESP-T - Clinical trials: for automatic labelling of clinical trials
summaries.
MESINESP-P - Patents: for automatic labelling of health-related patents in
Spanish to improve patent intelligence.
Key information
Web: https://temu.bsc.es/mesinesp2
Registration: http://clef2021-labs-registration.dei.unipd.it/ (BioASQ Task
3 - MESINESP)
Data: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4707104
MESINESP2 is organized in close collaboration with widely used multilingual
medical literature databases (BIREME/WHO, ISCIII/Spain), which expressed a
direct need for advanced technologies to accelerate manual indexing efforts
for the contents in Spanish (spoken globally by over 572 million people).
They do face a challenge to keep up with the increasing number of published
medical papers when using purely manual indexing.
A large manually indexed collection of training documents will be provided.
These documents have already been automatically annotated (> 1.5 million
entity mentions) with medical entities such as diseases, medical
procedures, drugs and symptoms to facilitate the use of complementary
strategies like multi-label classification, multilingual transformers, graph
matching, text similarity, advanced term matching or named entity
recognition components.
Participating systems will be directly useful for ongoing medical
literature indexing efforts, and thus improve competitive
intelligence/prior art searches, enable complex search queries needed for
evidence-based medicine, clinical decision making, or elaboration of
clinical practice guidelines and serve as base for future tasks on semantic
indexing of medical records or content in other languages.

[DMANET] Call for Papers: 3rd KDD Workshop on Data Science for Social Good (DSSG 2021)
*3rd International Virtual KDD Workshop on Data Science for Social Good
(DSSG 2021)*
*Website*: https://amulyayadav.github.io/DSSG-21/
*Submission Link*: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=dssg21
*Important Dates:*
Paper Submission Deadline: May 20th, 2021
Notification of Acceptance/Rejection: June 10th, 2021
Workshop Date: August 14st, 2021
*Scope*
Machine Learning and Data Science have revolutionized and entered multiple
aspects of our everyday lives, yet there is a digital divide that is
broadening every single day. The BigData revolution has hit the Western
world (i.e., North America and Europe) much more significantly, as compared
to developing countries in Africa, Asia and South America. As a result,
most of the technologies that have been developed using ML and data science
solve first-world problems faced by common people in the Western world.
While products like Siri and Alexa bring a lot of value to people in the
Western world, they bring little value to people in Sub-Saharan Africa, who
struggle on a daily basis with much graver challenges, e.g., poor
sanitation, poverty, hunger, infectious diseases, etc. As a result, it is
urgent to refocus the attention of the SIGKDD community towards problems
faced by these underserved populations in developing countries.
Accordingly, there is a growing interest to ensure that current and future
data science research is used in a responsible manner for the benefit of
humanity in the developing world and among marginalized communities (i.e.,
for social good). To achieve this goal, a wide range of perspectives and
contributions are needed, spanning the full spectrum from fundamental
research to sustained deployments in the real-world. Note that problems in
these domains are characterized by small data, uncertainties, etc., hence
new fundamental research needs to be conducted by researchers in the SIGKDD
community to solve these problems.
To that end, this workshop will explore how data science research can
contribute to solving challenging problems faced by current-day
marginalized communities around the world, especially among developing
countries. For example, what role can data science research play in
promoting health, sustainable development and infrastructure security? How
can data science initiatives be used to achieve consensus among a set of
negotiating self-interested entities (e.g., finding resolutions to trade
talks between countries)? To address such questions, this workshop will
bring together researchers and practitioners across different strands of
data science research and a wide range of important real- world application
domains. The objective is to share the current state of research and
practice, explore directions for future work, and create opportunities for
collaboration. In addition, the workshop will place a special emphasis on
highlighting data science approaches for tackling the COVID-19 pandemic
(see preliminary agenda below). The organizers believe that data science
research has an important role to play in providing unique insights about
the pandemic and developing targeted responses; we encourage submissions
from both data science researchers as well as epidemiologists, health
policy researchers, and other domain experts who are interested in engaging
with the SIGKDD community.
A unique feature of our workshop is that we aim to engage and invite
non-profit organizations which already do significant work on the
upliftment of marginalized communities such as homeless youth in North
America, poor smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, etc. We aim to
create a dialogue between data science researchers (who possess the tools
required to develop data-driven solutions which can benefit marginalized
communities) & non-profit organizations which can inform researchers about
what are the real problems that need urgent attention, and what real-world
constraints do data-driven solutions need to respect in order to have real
impact on the ground.
Our workshop's target audience consists of: (i) data science and machine
learning researchers who have used (or are currently using) their ML
research to solve important real- world problems for society's benefit in a
measurable manner; (ii) non-profit organizations who wish to explore how
data-driven solutions could help them improve their day-to-day operations
which enables them to amplify their real-world impact; (iii)
interdisciplinary researchers combining data science research with various
disciplines (e.g., social science, psychology and criminology); and (iv)
engineers and scientists from organizations who aim for social good, and
look to build real world systems using data science techniques.
*Topics of Interest*
We are interested in a broad range of research topics, both foundational
and applied. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Applications of Learning and Optimization in Societally Beneficial
Domains
- ML Approaches for COVID-19 and Epidemics
- Real-world applications of game theory for security
- Data Science for environmental crime
- Data Science for Environmental Sustainability
- Data Science for Urban Planning
- Computational Sustainability
- Data Science for Education
- Data Science for Public Health
- Data Science for International Relations
- Data Science for Democracy in the Developing World
- Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Social
Good
*Submission Details*
Submission Types
- Technical Papers: Full-length research papers of up to 8 pages
(excluding references and appendices) detailing high quality work in
progress or work that could potentially be published at a major conference
in KDD format.
- Short Papers: Position or short papers of up to 4 pages (excluding
references and appendices) in KDD format that describe initial work or the
release of privacy-preserving benchmarks and datasets on the topics of
interest.
All papers must be submitted in PDF format, using the KDD-21 author kit
<https://kdd.org/kdd2021/calls/view/call-for-research-track-papers>.
Submissions should include the name(s), affiliations, and email addresses
of all authors, i.e., submissions are not double-blind. Submissions will be
refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty, significance, and
clarity. Each submission will be thoroughly reviewed by at least two
program committee members. Submissions of papers rejected from KDD 2021
technical program are welcomed.

[DMANET] Postdoc opening: "Time-Complexity Analysis of co-Evolutionary Algorithms"
Dear colleagues,
We welcome applications for a Research Fellow (postdoc) in the theory of
evolutionary computation to work with Dr Per Kristian Lehre on the UKRI
Turing AI Fellowship funded project "Rigorous Time-Complexity Analysis
of co-Evolutionary Algorithms". Co-evolutionary algorithms are heuristic
optimisation techniques, mimicking biological principles of natural
selection, e.g. for minmax/robust optimisation and learning game playing
strategies.
The successful candidate will contribute, together with another 3 year
postdoc, 2 PhD students, and international academic and industrial
partners, towards developing the theoretical foundation necessary for
the design of efficient and reliable co-evolutionary algorithms.
The ideal candidate will have a strong research track record in theory
of evolutionary computation, algorithmic game theory, and/or randomised
algorithms.
For further details, please see
https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CFK453/research-fellow-in-theory-of-co-evolutionary-computation
The closing date is 20 May 2021.
Best wishes,

**********************************************************************
PRDC 2021 is the twenty-sixth event in the series of symposia started
in 1989 that are devoted to dependable and fault-tolerant computing.
PRDC is recognized as the main event in the Pacific area that covers
many dimensions of dependability and fault tolerance, encompassing
fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects,
and commercial components and systems. As applications of computing
systems have permeated into all aspects of daily life, the dependabil-
ity of computing systems has become increasingly critical. This sympo-
sium provides a forum for countries around the Pacific Rim and other
areas of the world to exchange ideas for improving the dependability
of computing systems.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
-Software and hardware reliability, testing, verification, and
validation
-Dependability measurement, modeling, evaluation, and tools
-Self-healing, self-protecting, and fault-tolerant systems
-Software aging and rejuvenation
-Safety-critical and mixed-criticality systems and software
-Architecture and system design for dependability
-Fault-tolerant algorithms and protocols
-Dependability and security in web and mobile applications
-Cloud computing resiliency, security and privacy
-(Industrial) Internet of things dependability, security and privacy
-Dependability issues in computer networks and communications
-Dependability issues in high performance computing
-Dependability issues in real-time systems
-Dependability issues in storage and databases systems
-Dependability issues in cyber-physical systems and Industry 4.0
-Dependability issues in socio-technical systems
-Dependability and security in AI and machine learning systems
-Blockchain and smart contracts
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission and Publication Information
Manuscripts should be submitted in the following two categories:
Regular Papers and Practical Experience Reports.
Regular Papers should describe original research (not submitted or
published elsewhere) and be not more than 10 pages using IEEE Computer
Society conference format. Practical Experience Reports (max 6 pages
using IEEE format guidelines) should describe an experience or a case
study, such as the design and deployment of a system or actual failure
and recovery field data.
All submissions must be made electronically (in PDF format) on the
submission website:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=prdc2021
Please note that all submissions will undergo a double-blind review.
Please ensure that you have removed any references that could lead to
identifying the authors of the paper. Failure to do so may result in
rejection of the paper regardless of the paper contributions. Papers
will be reviewed internationally and selected based on their original-
ity, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation.
All accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press
(EI Indexed). One outstanding paper will be selected to receive the
Best Paper Award, and one outstanding paper first authored by a stude-
nt will receive the Best Student Paper Award.

Submissions Guidelines and PROCEEDINGS
Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column conference format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted electronically on EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiccsa2021. A regular paper must not exceed 8 pages (including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review. In addition, submissions received after the due date, exceeding the length limit, or not appropriately structured will be rejected without review. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further information or clarification.
All submissions will be blind peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the Conference Proceedings, and be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion.
Each paper should include up to 7 keywords, complete postal and e-mail addresses, and fax and phone numbers of the corresponding author. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their work at the conference. Submitted papers that are deemed of good quality but could not be accepted as regular papers may be accepted as short papers.
Double-Blind Peer Review Guidelines
AICCSA 2021 uses double-blind review, which means that the author's identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors must ensure that their manuscripts be prepared in a way that does not give away their identities or affiliations. If a submission is not anonymized, it will be rejected without review.
Information to help prepare the Blinded Manuscript
Besides the obvious need to remove names and affiliations under the title within the manuscript, there are other steps that need to be taken to ensure the manuscript is correctly prepared for double-blind peer review. To assist with this process, the key items that need to be observed are as follows:
- Use the third person to refer to the work the authors have previously undertaken, e.g., replace any phrases like "as we have shown before" with "...has been shown before [Anonymous, 2007]".
- Make sure that figures not contain any affiliation-related identifier.
- Do not eliminate essential self-references or other references but limit self-references only to papers that are relevant for those reviewing the submitted paper.
- Cite papers published by the authors in the text as follows: '[Anonymous, 2007]'.
- For blinding on the reference list: '[Anonymous 2007] Details omitted for double-blind review
- Remove references to funding sources.
- Do not include acknowledgments.
- Remove any identifying information, including author names, from file names, etc. and anonymize document properties.
Special Issues
Selected papers from the conference will be invited to submit an extended version to a journal to be announced. Papers will be selected based on their reviewers' scores and appropriateness to the Journal's theme. All extended versions will undergo reviews and must represent original unpublished research work. Further details will be made available at a later stage.
