International Student Design Contest @ SLERD 2025 - deadline extension

by Carlo Giovannella

/Apologize for unintended cross-mailing/ ========================================================= Invite your students (bachelor, master and Ph)D to live the fantastic experience of the 6th edition of the contest and get academic recognition that can elevate their profile **International Student Design Contest (2025) * */@// //10th International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development// / June 12-13, 2025 /*https://www.slerd.org/contest/*/ video presentation <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW3ZdvI26u4&t=31s> of the contest /========================================================= /* DEADLINE EXTENSION -> April 30th 2025* (new hard deadline)* * /=========================================================/ Contacts:slerd25-contest@utt.fr <mailto:slerd25-contest@utt.fr>or aslerd.org(a)gmail.com ========================================================= /Winner: /will be awarded with 500 € grant /Finalists: /all have the opportunities to attend the conference for free and present their projects in front of an international audience of experts. ========================================================= *DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT and GOALS* Smart Learning Ecosystems should perform at best on all the dimensions that contribute to the well-being of students and all players involved in the development of a learning process: /infrastructures, food, environment, info/admin services, mobility, safety, social interaction, satisfaction, challenges, self-fulfillment/. Being inspired by the flow theory and by the Maslow’s pyramid, we can state that: ecosystems are smart when /“individuals that take part in the local processes achieve a high level of skills and, at the same time, are also strongly motivated and engaged by continuous and adequate challenges, provided that their primary needs are reasonably satisfied”./ The smartness of learning ecosystems, thus, is not created merely through the availability of digital infrastructures and applications. When technologies are both available and adopted enthusiastically, they can start to make a difference in both simplifying and accelerating progress toward the achievement of system smartness. One has to keep in mind, however, that technologies are smart not because they are capable of replacing human reasoning but, rather because they can help towards achieving a people centered smartness, through streamlining mundane organisational tasks, and enhancing the skills of all actors involved in learning processes. Our duty, with the help of technology, is to support learning ecosystems (formal, informal, non-formal) to develop their people centered smartness towards becoming incubators of social innovation and engines of sustainable regional development./Smartness is a goal/ and we can support our learning ecosystems along the process to achieve it by proposing solutions capable to solve or mitigate problems that prevent the learning ecosystems to be people centered. We expect students, wishing to take part in the contest, to analyze their learning ecosystem, detect problems and find solutions that can help their, and as well other learning ecosystems, to get smarter. Proposals submitted to this call are expected to address thesame general themes of the call for papers of the conference, namely: * places for smart education, * people in place centered design for smart education, * supportive learning technologies and tools for smart education. ========================================== Important dates: --------------------------------------------------------- • Deadline for ideas submission to slerd25-contest(a)utt.fr <mailto:slerd25-contest@utt.fr>: *April **30th, 2025 (extended deadline)* • Selection of the best 3 proofs of concepts and prototypes (finsalists): May 15th, 2025 • Presentation and demo at SLERD 2025 and winner announcement: June 12th and 13th, 2025 ========================================== ========================================== Early bird registration to the main conference, SLERD 2025, is now open: https://www.slerd.org/registration-form/ *Deadline for early bird registration to SLERD 2025: May 15th* SLERD 2025 is featuring the keynotes by: /*Charles B.

CFP: IR4U2@SIGIR 2025 - Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users

by Noemi Mauro

**** PLEASE, EXCUSE MULTIPLE POSTINGS **** Call For Papers CFP for the 2nd Workshop on Information Retrieval for Understudied Users (IR4U2) - Bridging User-centered AI with IR: Making Information Retrieval Accessible for All Please join us at IR4U2, co-located with the 48th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, which will take place 13th-18th July 2025 in Padua, Italy Information Retrieval (IR) remains an active, fast-paced area of research. Nevertheless, most advancements in this domain have primarily favored what we might term 'conventional' users, such as adults from the global north. We envision IR4U2 as a forum to spotlight research and industry efforts that, while sparse, consider diverse, and often understudied, user groups. Among these groups, we find, for example, older adults, young children and adolescents, individuals afflicted by mental health disorders, users with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), individuals with intellectual disabilities, or those with specific learning needs. In this second iteration of IR4U2, we will focus more specifically on a **user-centred AI perspective**, which we believe is vital for informing the design, development, and assessment of IR systems that thoughtfully address the diverse needs of understudied populations, ensuring genuine accessibility and inclusivity. We aim to • Build, extend and maintain a community involving multi-disciplinary Ph.D. students, academics, and industry practitioners aiming to advance understanding of core (AI for) IR technology and its impact on a broad range of understudied users. • Take inventory of the different kinds of use cases, research work, ongoing efforts, and existing resources while reflecting on the progress made since the last IR4U2 iteration. • Define guidelines to promote user-centric design of IR systems. • Outline a general approach to facilitate research endeavors driven by and at the service of specific user groups IR4U2 will be a highly participatory, full-day, in-person workshop. This will involve informal interactions, facilitated group work, and brief presentations of accepted contributions. These contributions will help construct a snapshot of the current works in this area. Topics of interest include: - User-centered design of IR algorithms for understudied users - User-centric design of user interfaces for IR for understudied users - The use of AI for enhancing IR systems for understudied users - The positive and negative impact of AI on IR for understudied users - User modeling to enable IR and recommendation technologies tailored to understudied populations - Data collection and benchmark development of IR catering to understudied populations. - IR applications targeting understudied populations - IR techniques in the era of LLM and generative models with and for understudied populations This is not an exhaustive list, as we are also interested in contributions discussing challenges inherent to designing IR technology at the service of understudied user groups–from the need for multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder collaborations to how to build datasets. Submissions: Peer reviewed contributions. These include research papers presenting empirical explorations, user studies, and/or new algorithms related to the open problems listed in topics of interest, as well as position/vision contributions discussing uses cases, challenges, and future research directions. These contributions should be submitted on EasyChair ( https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=ir4u20) at least 4 pages, but up to 12 (excluding references) formatted in CEURART’s single-column template ( https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/one-column-layout-template-for-sub…). Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop and published in workshop proceedings. Editorially-reviewed contributions. To enable potential attendees to articulate their views on the topics of the workshop, share already-published works, bring awareness to ongoing European projects in this area, etc., we ask the submission of a short extended abstract. This type of informal submission (via this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeoz0WWHx_0EXcPc9AZOTw6zx07gSolQ61… ) will be editorially reviewed by workshop organizers to gauge fit as well as themes of interest for group discussions. Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop, but not published in the proceedings. Important dates All the deadlines are set at 11:59 PM AoE. - Submission: April 23, 2025 - Author notification: May 21, 2025 - Camera-ready: June 1, 2025 - Workshop day: July 17, 2025 At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop.

Workshop C3AI - Child-centered Interaction and Trust in Conversational AI

by Grazia Ragone

Dear all, I'm pleased to share with you some information about the workshop we're organizing for the conference #IDC2025 [1]. I hope you'll find it of interest. We aim to create AI systems that are not only effective but also ethical, transparent, and empathetic, ensuring that children interact with technology in a safe and informed way. At the heart of our discussions, we have the following questions: What shapes a child's trust--or distrust--in AI? And how can we design AI systems that not only foster positive engagement, but also help children understand limitations and manage expectations? The C3AI (Child-centered Interaction and Trust in Conversational AI) workshop invites researchers, designers, and practitioners to explore how cognitive, emotional, and cultural factors influence children's relationships with AI. As children increasingly interact with systems like ChatGPT--often not designed with them in mind--there's a growing need to create ethical, transparent, and empathetic AI experiences. This workshop focuses on developing and refining child-centered frameworks for trustworthy AI--frameworks that prioritize reliability, safety, and ethical responsibility. Together, we'll envision AI systems that empower children to think critically, engage thoughtfully, and navigate technology with confidence. We welcome your ideas, experiences, and perspectives. IMPORTANT DATES Workshop - June 23rd Submission Deadline: April 30, 2025 LOCATION Reykjavik University in Iceland For more info: https://c3ai.di.uniba.it/home Warm regards, Grazia Ragone -- Post-Doc in Human-Computer Interaction Department of Computer Science Università degli Studi di Bari "Aldo Moro" via Orabona, 4 - 70125 Bari, Italy https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=Q1TkLzMAAAAJ&hl=en [2] -- Post-Doc in Human-Computer Interaction Department of Computer Science Università degli Studi di Bari "Aldo Moro" via Orabona, 4 - 70125 Bari, Italy https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=Q1TkLzMAAAAJ&hl=en [2] ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sostieni la formazione e la ricerca universitaria con il tuo 5 per mille all'Università di Bari.

CFP: HAIC 2025 @ECAI 2025 - International Workshop on Human-AI Collaborative Systems (HAIC 2025)

by Michele Braccini

* Apologies for cross postings * HAIC Workshop @ECAI 2025 - CALL FOR PAPERS ——————————————————————————————————— International Workshop on Human-AI Collaborative Systems (HAIC 2025) OCTOBER 25-26 2025 co-located with ECAI 2025 (https://ecai2025.org) - Bologna, Italy Web: https://haic-workshop.github.io/haic.github.io/ Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=haic2025 For any information: m.braccini(a)unibo.it ========= HIGHLIGHTS ========= - DEADLINE: June 15th, 2025 - CEUR conference proceedings ========= ABSTRACT ========= Human-IA collaborative systems (HAIC) improve problem solving and creativity by combining human intelligence with the computational power of AI. Although there are successful applications in healthcare, creative arts and finance, to name a few, current solutions remain domain-specific, highlighting the need for generalizable approaches. Indeed, effective HAIC systems must address multiple complexities: they must adapt dynamically, integrate human interactions, and address new key challenges such as trust, security and explainability. This workshop provides a forum to explore innovative methodologies, promote interdisciplinary collaboration and advance the development of a unified framework for next-generation HAIC systems. ====== TOPICS ====== Topics of Interest include but are not limited to: - Frameworks and methodologies for designing HAIC systems - Definition of evaluation criteria and methodologies for the evaluation of HAIC systems - Design principles for developing truly adaptive HAIC systems that evolve with user interactions and integrate real-time feedback. - Applications that foster human-AI co-creativity, in music, visual arts, poetry, … - HAIC applications in healthcare, assistive robotics, precision medicine and industry - Ethical issues raised by creative HAIC systems (integrity, bias, …) - Psychological and social implications of the long-term use of HAIC technologies - Critical perspectives on the potential benefits and risks of HAIC systems in education - Collaborative decision-making systems - Future trends in HAIC, including swarm robotics, sustainability, … ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ We encourage the submission of contributions that explore innovative methodologies for building Human-AI collaborative systems. In particular, authors can submit: (A) Regular papers (max. 12 + references – CEUR.ws format); (B) Short/Position papers (max 8 pages + references - CEUR.ws format); (C) Discussion papers of recent works published elsewhere (max 8 pages + references - CEUR.ws format); Submission Site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=haic2025 All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least two members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, relevance and technical quality.
