by Wanling Cai

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * For the online version of this Call, visit: https://www.um.org/umap2024/call-for-full-and-short-papers/ =============== ACM UMAP 2024: The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy July 1-4, 2024 ACM UMAP is the premier international conference for researchers and practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or groups of users, and that collect, represent, and model user information. ACM UMAP is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI<https://sigchi.org/> and SIGWEB<https://www.sigweb.org/>. User Modeling Inc.<https://um.org/>, as the core Steering Committee, oversees the conference organization. The proceedings, published by ACM, will be part of the ACM Digital Library<https://dl.acm.org/>. The theme of UMAP 2024 is “Collaboration and Cooperation for the Greater Good“. Specifically, we welcome submissions that highlight the impact that working together and synergy (such as between academia, industry, influential policy making bodies, committees and communities) can have on solving the world’s biggest problems; the focus is on investigations that capture how user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems may influence user behavior, trustful processes and whether new models are required, for building sustainable and inclusive services and solutions that can address critical challenges of our world. While we encourage submissions related to this theme, the scope of the conference is not limited to the theme only. As always, contributions from academia, industry, and other organizations discussing open challenges or novel research approaches are expected to be supported by rigorous evidence appropriate to claims (e.g., user study, system evaluation, computational analysis). Important Dates - Paper Abstract Submission: January 22, 2024 (mandatory) - Paper Submission: January 29, 2024 - Notification: March 28, 2024 - Camera-ready Submission: May 9, 2024 - Conference: July 1 – 4, 2024 The submissions deadlines are at 11:59 pm AoE time (Anywhere on Earth). Conference Topics We welcome submissions related to user modeling, personalization, and adaptation of (intelligent) systems targeting a broad range of users and domains. Detailed descriptions and the suggested topics for each track will be available shortly in the extended version of the CFP on this page. ** Personalized Recommender Systems ** This track invites works from researchers and practitioners on recommender systems. In addition to mature research works addressing technical aspects of recommendations, we welcome research contributions that address questions related to user perception, decision-making, and the business value of recommender systems. ** Knowledge Graphs, Semantics, Social and Adaptive Web ** This track welcomes works focused on the use of knowledge representations (i.e., novel knowledge bases), graph algorithms (i.e., graph embedding techniques), and social network analysis at the service of addressing all aspects of personalization, user model building, and personal experience in online social systems. Moreover, this track invites works in adaptive hypermedia, as well as semantic and social web. ** Intelligent User Interfaces ** This track invites works exploring how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter and more productive, leveraging solutions from human-computer interaction, data mining, natural language processing, information visualization, and knowledge representation and reasoning. ** Personalizing Learning Experiences through User Modeling ** This track invites researchers, developers, and practitioners from various disciplines to submit their innovative learning solutions, share acquired experiences, and discuss their modeling challenges for personalized adaptive learning. ** Fairness, Transparency, Accountability, and Privacy ** Researchers, developers, and practitioners have a social responsibility to account for the impact that technologies have on individuals (users, providers, and other stakeholders) and society. This track invites works related to the science of building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying adaptive systems that are fair, transparent, respectful of users’ privacy, beneficial to society, and accountable for their impacts. ** Personalization for Persuasive and Behavior Change Systems ** This track invites submissions focused on personalization and tailoring for persuasive technologies, including but not limited to personalization models, user models, computational personalization, design, and evaluation methods. It also welcomes work that brings attention to the user experience and designing personalized and adaptive behavior change technologies. ** Virtual Assistants, Conversational Interactions, and Personalized Human-Robot Interaction ** This track invites works investigating new models and techniques for adapting synthetic companions (e.g., virtual assistants, chatbots, social robots) to individual users. With the conversational modality so in vogue across disciplines, this track welcomes work highlighting the model and deployment of synthetic companions driven by conversational search and recommendation paradigms. ** Research Methods and Reproducibility** This track invites submissions on methodologies to evaluate personalized systems, benchmarks, and measurement scales, with particular attention to the reproducibility of results and techniques. Furthermore, the track looks for submissions that report new insights from reproducing existing works. ** Submission and Review Process** For UMAP 2024 we encourage two kinds of submissions (reviewers will comment on whether the size is appropriate for each contribution), in the ACM new single-column format<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>: * Long papers should report on substantial contributions of lasting value. The maximum length is 14 pages (excluding references, which do not count towards the limit). Each accepted long paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented in a plenary session as part of the main conference program. * Short papers typically discuss exciting new work that is not yet mature enough for a long paper. In particular, novel but significant proposals will be considered for acceptance to this category despite not having gone through sufficient experimental validation or lacking strong theoretical foundation. The maximum length is 7 pages (excluding references, which do not count towards the limit). Each accepted short paper will be included in the conference proceedings and presented either as an oral presentation or at the poster session. UMAP uses a double-blind review process. Authors must omit their names and affiliations from their submissions; they should also avoid obvious identifying statements. For instance, citations to the authors’ prior work should be in the third person. Submissions not abiding by anonymity requirements will be desk rejected. In addition, UMAP 2024 will introduce a new “Raise Your Voice” stage during evaluation, offering a small window to authors to optionally discuss the initial decision of their submission, enhancing the transparency and quality of the reviewing process. Additional review criteria and submission link will be available shortly on the conference website: https://www.um.org/umap2024. UMAP has a no dual submission policy, which is why full and short paper submissions should not be currently under review at another publication venue. Further, UMAP operates under the ACM Conference Code of Conduc<https://www.acm.org/about-acm/policy-against-harassment>t. Grants and Support To help students and early career researchers attend ACM UMAP 2024, we are able to provide several grants for participants at ACM UMAP 2024. * Category 1: Discounted Registration Rates * Category 2: Gary Marsden Travel Awards (GMTA) * Category 3: ACM UMAP 2024 Grants More information can be found in https://www.um.org/umap2024/grants-and-support/. Please refer to the website information, to learn the eligibility and application process for each category.

[CFP] Pattern Recognition Letters, Special Issue on Synthetic Images to Support Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems

by Andrea Loddo

Dear colleagues, please find enclosed the call for papers for our Special Issue Kind regards Guest Editors [apologies for multiple postings] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synthetic Images to Support Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/pattern-recognition-letters/about/cal… <https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com/?d=sciencedirect.com&u=aHR0cHM6L…> DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE Today's health systems collect and deliver most medical data in digital format, mainly thanks to the scientific and technological advances that have led to digitization and increased generation and collection of data describing real-world applications or processes. The availability of medical data enables a large number of artificial intelligence applications, and there is growing interest in quantitative analysis of clinical images, such as Positron Emission Tomography, Computerized Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. In addition, machine and deep learning models and data-driven artificial intelligence applications have proven to improve the management and decision-making to improve the discovery of new therapeutic tools, support diagnostic decisions, aid in the rehabilitation process, etc. Despite the potential of data-driven solutions, many problems prevent or delay the development of such solutions. For example, the increasing amount of available data can lead to increased effort to make a diagnosis and is even more challenging due to high inter/intra patient variability, the availability of different imaging techniques, the absence of completely standard acquisition procedures, and the need to consider data from multiple sensors and sources. Additional relevant issues are data access and the representativeness of the captured sample compared to the actual population. Access to real data may be delayed or even prevented for various reasons, such as privacy, security, and intellectual property, or the development of the necessary (quality) acquisition and preparation technology. Sample representativeness is another critical issue involving class imbalance and the representation of rare and extreme events, which is crucial for the performance of artificial intelligence models. For these reasons, researchers have recently explored the use of synthetic data (SD) with three different use cases regarding (i) data augmentation to balance data sets or supplement available data before training a model, (ii) privacy preservation to enable secure and private sharing of sensitive data; and (iii) simulation: to estimate and teach systems in situations that have not been observed in actual reality. The main goals of this special issue are to bring together diverse, new, and impactful research on synthetic data generation for biomedical imaging with a powerful impact on Computer-Aided Diagnosis systems for real-world clinical applications. TOPICS Topics of interest to this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Synthetic Images for Privacy-Preserving Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems - Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems Training with Synthetic Images - Synthetic Images for Benchmarking Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems - Medical Image Translation - Text-guided Medical Image Generation - Multimodal Medical Image Generation - Synthetic Images for Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems Domain Adaptation - Synthetic Images for Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems Domain Generalisation SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The PRL's submission system (Editorial Manager®) will be open for submissions to our Special Issue from July 1st, 2024.

Dear all, We need your help spreading this call to all children around the world to help us design *“Inclusive Technologies.”* We are excited to share details of this year’s Research and Design Challenge (R&DC) associated with the *ACM Interaction Design with Children Conference (**IDC 2024* <https://idc.acm.org/2024/>*)* to be held in* Delft, Netherlands, June 17-20 2024*. The Research and Design Challenge track, as part of the ACM Interaction Design with Children conference (IDC 2024 <https://idc.acm.org/2024/>), aims to hear children’s voices and ideas to inspire researchers to propose and submit their design concepts based on children’s submissions. This track has two phases: - In phase 1, children all over the world are invited to submit their initial ideas in response to the theme *“Inclusive Technologies.”* The deadline for this phase is *January** 31st, 2024*. - In phase 2, we invite everyone, including children, researchers, and designers, to submit a design concept (i.e., prototypes, not actual artefacts) with the same theme, “Inclusive Technologies,” that builds on one or more of the ideas submitted by children in Phase 1. The deadline for this phase is *April 3rd, 2024*. If you have children or know colleagues and relatives with children, you can inform and encourage children and young adults in your family and friends about this opportunity. If you are an educator or researcher working with children and know people who work in schools, spread this call to them. The call is available in several languages on the website <https://idc.acm.org/2024/research-and-design-challenge/> in the format of a PDF flyer. - In English <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-English.p…> - In Portuguese <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-Portugues…> - In German <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-German.pdf> - In Spanish <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-Spanish.p…> - In Italian <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-Italian.p…> *OVERVIEW* This year, the Interaction Design and Children 2024 conference invites children, scholars, designers, and practitioners to participate in this year's Research and Design Challenge (R&DC) under the theme of “Inclusive Technologies”. We invite people from all over the world, of all genders, countries, and needs, to imagine and submit their ideas thinking of the following question – How can we transform existing technologies (educational software, assistive devices, social media platforms, and interactive gaming, robots, computers, and more) to be more inclusive (more balanced, with the same opportunities for all, where everyone is welcome)? *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PHASE 1* In Phase 1 of the Research & Design Challenge, children all over the world are invited to submit their initial ideas in response to the theme “Inclusive Technologies.” Individuals or teams can make submissions from a classroom, after-school program, club, maker space, or combinations from different schools, clubs, towns, or countries. Each individual or team is invited to fill out a simple form with a brief description of their idea along with drawings, pictures or other forms that best express an initial impression of the idea. The ideas received will form the basis for the second phase of the Research & Design Challenge. We accept submissions in any language. To make non-English design ideas understandable for people around the world, we will use translation tools to convert them into English. Submit children's ideas for Phase 1 here: https://tinyurl.com/IDC2024RDC *IMPORTANT DATES (Midnight in Anywhere on Earth – AoE)* - *January 31, 2024: Children's Submissions due* - February 7, 2024: Research & Design Challenge starts - April 3, 2024: Research & Design Challenge due - April 19, 2024: Challenge Finalists Notification - April 29, 2024: Publication-ready submissions due - June 17-20, 2024: IDC Conference *IDC 2024 Research and Design Chairs* Elmira Yadollahi Isabel Neto Lorraine Underwood Janet Read Best wishes, Best wishes, Dhanush
