Call for Participation - The Academic Fringe Festival

by Sihang Qiu - EWI

The Academic Fringe Festival (TAFF) First edition on *Crowd Computing & Human-Centered AI* --- Apologies for cross-posting — Website: https://www.academicfringe.org/ * The Academic Fringe Festival is free of cost and open to everyone who is interested to participate. Let there be light! * ABOUT TAFF: ============================ The Academic Fringe Festival is an exciting concoction of invited talks and panel discussions around important themes of research and innovation in Computer Science. The series features prominent researchers and practitioners, whose work has made fundamental contributions in these fields. Calling this collection of academic events "The Academic Fringe Festival" is an ode to the story of the eight theatre companies which turned up uninvited at the Edinburgh International Festival in 1947 and performed on the fringe of the event. Over the years, such acts gained popularity and gradually snowballed into what is now the world's largest arts festival, the "Edinburgh Fringe Festival". Our aim is not to create the world's largest academic festival, but to create a forum for open, accessible, and inspiring dissemination of knowledge from renowned scientists across the globe. This first edition is on "Crowd Computing and Human-Centered AI". The unprecedented rise in the adoption of artificial intelligence techniques in many contexts is concomitant with shortcomings of such technology with respect to robustness, interpretability, usability, and trustworthiness. Crowd computing offers a viable means to engage a large number of human participants in data-related tasks and in user studies. In the context of overcoming the computational and interactional challenges facing the current generation of AI systems, recent work has shown how crowd computing can be leveraged to either debug noisy training data in machine learning systems, understand which machine learning models are more congruent to human understanding in particular tasks, or to advance our understanding of how AI systems can influence human behavior. INVITED SPEAKERS: ============================ - Matthew Lease, University of Texas at Austin / Amazon, 23 Nov 2020, 16:00 (CET) - Gianluca Demartini, University of Queensland, 30 Nov 2020, 09:00 (CET) - Mihaela Vorvoreanu, Microsoft, 7 Dec 2020, 16:00 (CET) - Shamsi Iqbal, Microsoft, 14 Dec 2020, 16:00 (CET) - Edith Law, University of Waterloo, 22 Feb 2021, 16:00 (CET) - More speakers coming soon... REGISTRATION: ============================ Online registration is available now! There will be NO registration fees. Please use the following link to register: https://www.academicfringe.org/registration.

The workshop focuses on systems that personalize, summarize and visualize the data for supporting interactive information seeking and information discovery, along with tools that enable user modeling and methods for incorporating the user needs and preferences into both analytics and visualization. Our aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on different personalization aspects and applications of exploratory search and interactive data analytics. This will allow us to achieve four goals: (1) propose new strategies for systems that need to convey the rationale behind their decisions or inference, and the sequence of steps that lead to speciﬁc (search) results; (2) develop new user modeling and personalization techniques for exploratory search and interactive data analytics; (3) develop a common set of design principles for this type of systems across platforms, contexts, users and applications; (4) develop a set of evaluation metrics for personalization in exploratory search. The workshop aims to solicit submissions in the following areas of personalized interactive data analytics and exploratory search: Personalized interactive exploration via interactive data analytics: – personalization aspects in systems for exploratory search. – cross-domain/ context-aware/ cross-platform exploratory search systems. – interactively modelling the user’s information needs for high-recall information retrieval. – new applications of exploratory search and interactive data analytics. Data analytics: – interactive interfaces for data-intensive platforms. – interaction degrees of freedom. – preprocessing vs. online processing. – interactive data visualization evaluation of interactive systems for exploratory search and data analytics. Metrics for explainable intelligent systems: – metrics for explainable exploratory search. – explainability and transparency in expert vs. non-expert systems. – human-in-the-loop analytics systems. – efﬁcient vs. explainable analytics. – user perception of explainability and transparency in interactive intelligent systems.

Il KM è una teoria manageriale per l'incremento della competitività delle organizzazioni e la professionalità dei suoi collaboratori, declinata su un approccio di innovazione culturale, organizzativa, tecnologica e sull'ottimizzazione dei processi connessi con la gestione, la comunicazione e la protezione della conoscenza organizzativa, cioè dati, informazioni, documenti, beni digitali e intangibili come competenze, emozioni, relazioni, valori delle persone. Una teoria che JEKPOT ha fatto propria sviluppando una metodologia di rappresentazione della conoscenza organizzativa per segmenti (km tracks: esplicito, tacito, creabile, cross) abilitata dalla tecnologia. Il convegno prospetta contenuti di natura scientifica (rivenienti da call for papers), operativi (progetti basati su soluzioni) e culturale rappresentati per tipologia (management track, communication track, protection & cross track).

HWID'21: AI and Designing for Positive Work Experiences in Low Desire Society

by Barbara Rita Barricelli

Human Work Interaction Design 2021 (HWID'21) Artificial Intelligence and Designing for Positive Work Experiences in Low Desire Society Working Conference of the IFIP WG 13.6 Human Work Interaction Design Beijing, China - May 15-16, 2021 http://www.hwid2021.com/ Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the organizers are considering to enable a remote partecipation modality. Rates and instructions will be published later this year on the website. -------------------------------------------------------------- In continuation with the series of the Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) working conferences, this sixth edition's theme is Artificial Intelligence and Designing for Positive Work Experiences in the ‘Low Desire’ Society. --- THEME, SCOPE, AND FOCUS HWID has been endeavouring to enhance the positive work experiences at workplaces by providing employees pleasurable and meaningful user experiences via the tools used at work. HWID'21 directs attention to the ‘low desire’ phenomenon, which is that people have lower desire for success, no ambitions, needs, or expectations, they push back against working around the clock, avoid conflicts, yearn to be free of strong feelings, and do not to take anyone or anything too seriously. HWID'21 attempts to look into the relationship between happiness and IT-enabled overworking, the resulting work experiences, and how to provide solutions from the perspective of Human Work Interaction Design. Artificial intelligence (AI) is making a difference to the workplace and complicating the situation further. On one hand, AI replace human workers by working faster with fewer errors than humans, which enable AI to do many of the boring and redundant jobs. On the other hand, many organisations are already beginning to use the AI as a design element to enhance human intelligence, and design positive experiences in the workplace. As a result, there are growing concerns that AI will take away jobs from humans. The theme of HWID'21 emphasizes the insights into the relationship between low desire and work experience, and how AI will moderate their relationship because parts of the work might be taken away by AI. Examples of relevant questions include: - Is the ‘low desire’ phenomenon making work less interesting? - How to improve work experience supported by AI? - How to support the symbiosis of human and AI in workplace through HWID? - How to maintain work motivation? - How to evaluate the impact of AI on work experience? - How to address ethical factors (e.g. privacy, safety and equity) of using AI in the workplace? This working conference aims to answer these and more questions by involving professionals working in academia, national labs, and industry who are engaged in human work analysis and interaction design for the workplace. We will discuss tools, procedures, and professional competences needed to face issues and opportunities provided by AI in a Low Desire Society. --- SUBMISSIONS We invite two types of submissions: Full papers (max 15 pages, excluding references) and Poster submissions (max 4 pages, excluding references). For both types of submissions, the authors must use the LNCS templates available on Springer website(https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-procee…. Please submit your anonymized paper in PDF format on OCS: https://ocs.springer.com/ocs/home/HWID2021 Each paper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. The collection of all accepted papers will be distributed to the participants as digital proceedings. During the review process, the reviewers will be asked to evaluate whether an extended version of the paper is suitable for an IFIP Springer book (IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology) that will be edited and published after the conference. We aim at including most of the accepted papers. --- IMPORTANT DATES Full paper submission deadline: February 14th, 2021 Poster submission deadline: February 21st, 2021 Acceptance notifications: March 14th, 2021 Early bird registration deadline: March 21st, 2021 Final versions of papers and posters: April 4th, 2021 --- ORGANIZERS General Chairs - Barbara Rita Barricelli, Università degli Studi di Brescia, Brescia, Italy - Xiangang Qin, Beijing University of Posts & Telecommunications, Beijing, China Program Chairs - Ganesh Bhutkar, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune, India - Arminda Guerra Lopes, ITI/LARSyS/Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco, Funchal, Portugal - Fei Lyu, Beijing University of Posts & Telecommunications, Beijing, China - Frederica Gonçalves, ITI/LARSyS, University of Madeira, Funchal, Portugal - Jose Abdelnour-Nocera, University of West London, London, United Kingdom - Paulo Novais, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal Poster Chairs - Shrikant Salve, MIT Academy of Engineering, Pune, India - Stefano Valtolina, Università degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy HWID Legacy chairs - Philippe Palanque,ICS-IRIT, Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France - Torkil Clemmensen, Copenhagen Business School, Copenhagen, Denmark HWID membership chair - Judith Molka-Danielsen, Molde University College, Norway - Pedro Campos, University of Madeira, Funchal, Portugal Local Organizing Chairs - Ronggang Zhou, Beihang University, Beijing, China - Wenjun Hou, Beijing University of Posts&Telecommunications, Beijing, China --- CONTACT Ganesh Bhutkar: ganesh.bhutkar(a)vit.edu -- *Barbara Rita Barricelli* Assistant Professor Department of Information Engineering Università degli Studi di Brescia http://barbara-barricelli.unibs.it -- Informativa sulla Privacy: http://www.unibs.it/node/8155 <http://www.unibs.it/node/8155>

INTERACT 2021 -18th IFIP TC. 13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction - Preliminary Call for Papers

by Carmelo Ardito

INTERACT 2021 -18th IFIP TC. 13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction Aug 30th - Sep 3rd, 2021, Bari, Italy www.interact2021.org Preliminary Call for Papers -------------------------------------------------- INTERACT is the International Conference promoted by the IFIP Technical Committee 13 on Human–Computer Interaction. INTERACT is held every two years. The theme of INTERACT 2021 “Sense, Feel, Design” highlights the new challenges of interaction design. Technology is today more and more widespread, pervasive and blended in the world we live in. On one side, devices that sense humans' activities have the potential to provide an enriched interaction. On the other side, the user experience can be further enhanced by exploiting multisensorial technologies. Not only the traditional human senses of vision and hearing, but also senses of touch, smell, and taste, as well as emotions are to be taken into account when designing for future interactions.

by Carlo Giovannella

Probabilmente qualcuno di voi ha partecipato all'indagine e quindi spero di farvi cosa gradita segnalandovi la pubblicazione del preprint dedicato all'analisi condotta con i docenti delle università italiane durante il periodo del lockdown, simile a quella che abbiamo pubblicato qualche tempo fa dedicata alle scuole. Nella seconda parte dell'articolo gli esiti delle due indagini vengono messe a confronto ... e penso (spero) che tale comparazione possano indurre a riflettere sulle necessarie azioni da intraprendere ! L'articolo è consultabile su Research Gate The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic seen through the lens of the Italian university teachers and the comparison with school teachers’ perspective https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344521085_The_effects_of_the_Covid…'_perspective Cordialità Carlo Giovannella

ACM IUI 2021: Call for papers (update on paper format)

by Axel Soto

*** ACM IUI 2021: Call for Papers *** * College Station, TX * April 13-17, 2021 * http://iui.acm.org/2021/ * Contact: program2021(a)iui.acm.org ## IMPORTANT UPDATE Please check the updated paper format and length restrictions for short and long papers on https://iui.acm.org/2021/call_for_papers.html ## Upcoming deadlines Abstract: Oct 2, 2020 (compulsory) Paper submission: Oct 9, 2020 ## ACM IUI 2021 ACM IUI 2021 is the 26th annual premier international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) communities meet, with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is on improving the interaction between humans and digital technology, by leveraging both HCI approaches and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ### Why you should submit to ACM IUI While other conferences focus on either the AI or HCI side of this research, we address the complex interaction between the two. We strongly encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from both HCI and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other, but still highlight the connections between the two. We value papers that contribute methodology or theory for the evaluation of intelligent user interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas—academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations—and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. The conference is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and a doctoral consortium for graduate students. ### COVID-19 statement We are monitoring the situation regarding the global pandemic and associated travel restrictions. If needed, we will offer a virtual presentation option if the conference cannot take place due to the global pandemic, or if registered authors from specific parts of the world cannot attend the conference. ## Papers We accept two forms of contributions: full and short papers. They should both make novel contributions to IUI, however full papers should make more substantial and significant contributions, while short papers can contain more focused contributions. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2021". ## Topics IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Application areas * Internet of Things (IoT) * Education and learning-related technologies * Health and intelligent health technologies * Assistive technologies * Social media and other Web technologies * Mobile applications * Artificial personal assistants * Information retrieval, search, and recommendation systems * Interface types * Affective and aesthetic interfaces * Collaborative interfaces * Speech-based interfaces * AR/VR interfaces * Intelligent wearable and mobile interfaces * Ubiquitous smart environments * Modalities * Agent based interfaces (e.g., embodied agents, virtual assistants) * Multi-modal interfaces (speech, gestures, eye gaze, face, physiological information etc.) * Conversational interfaces * Tangible interfaces * Intelligent visualization * Methods and approaches * Methods for explanations (e.g., transparency, control, and trust) * Persuasive technologies in IUI * Privacy and security of IUI * Planning and plan recognition for IUI * Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation * User Modelling for Intelligent Interfaces * User-Adaptive interaction and personalization * Crowd computing and human computation * Human-in-the loop machine learning * Evaluations of intelligent user interfaces * User experiments * User studies * Reproducibility (including benchmarks, datasets, and challenges) * Meta-analyses * Mixed-methods evaluations ## Dates * Oct 2, 2020: Abstract deadline (compulsory) * Oct 9, 2020: Papers deadline * Dec 14, 2020: Notification * Feb 8, 2021: Camera ready due * Apr 13, 2021: Conference starts ## Submission Guidelines Check the submission guidelines on the conference page: https://iui.acm.org/2021/call_for_papers.html ## Program Chairs * John O’Donovan, University of California, Santa Barbara * Bart Knijnenburg, Clemson University * Paul Teale, Texas A&M * Jeeeun Kim, Texas A&M * Aaron Adler, Raytheon BBN Technologies * Manoj Prasad, Microsoft * Contact: program2021(a)iui.acm.org

During previous pandemics the application of the social distancing has already led to the closure of schools but it was not possible to even imagine the continuation of teaching activities as it is happening in the present days, albeit within a virtual dimension. On average, in less than two weeks after the lock down all the actors of the educational processes - students, teachers and families - have been forced to use technologies that many of them would have never considered before as relevant for learning. In a short time, educational technologies that have always struggled to establish themselves as a significant support to the learning processes have become the standard. A so abrupt transition from physical to virtual has contributed to amplify the regret for the many opportunities lost in the past by several national and supranational educational systems in supporting and coordinating the development of technologies that could have generated a significant impact on the learning ecosystems. At the same time it has emerged the critical state of the tertiary education that has not been able to renew in depth pedagogical and didactic approaches to educate present and future teachers to significantly integrate technologies into traditional educational processes. Nonetheless, thanks to the many environments derived from the domain of the collaborative work, to the vast plethora of apps considered in the past as niche products, to the good will of many teachers, to a constant learning by doing (that in many cases has become a continuous field experimentation) schools and universities are accompanying their students towards the end of the school/academic year. This special issue aims at gathering the most significant studies and experiences that have been carried on during the pandemic period to make sure that at least a part of such body of knowledge will not be completely lost. We need them, and we need to reflect on them, hoping that they could guide us in the development of a new way of thinking about learning ecosystems and, more in general, about educational processes. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue devoted to 'Learning and learning ecosystems in the time of Covid-19' includes, but is not limited to: • Research and case studies on organizational aspects • Research and case studies on didactic aspects • Research and case studies on monitoring and evaluation aspects and strategies • Research and case studies on the unconventional use of conventional technologies, or on the use of unconventional technologies to support educational processes • Research and case studies on the functional rethinking of physical or phygital places for learning • Research and case studies on the transformation of learning ecosystems and of the perceptions' of the main actors of the learning processes. • Future visions =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted either in .doc or in .rtf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers.

The goal of the workshops is to provide a venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Workshops will be held on the first day of the conference. We invite submissions of full-day (6 hours) and half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the conference topics (or related). This year we are particularly interested in workshops that have an interactive aspect. Preference will be given to workshops with interactive and hands-on sessions where participants can team up or work together towards the common goal of the workshop. We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshops, including but not limited to: - "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their own paper submission and review processes. - "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter review process (e.g. based on abstracts only). - "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to ask participants to submit a position statement. - "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hackathons around selected topics with individual or team participation. == PROPOSAL FORMAT == Note: One of the keys to a successful workshop submission is to CONTACT THE CHAIRS WITH YOUR IDEAS (workshops2021(a)iui.acm.org), and work together to prepare an exciting proposal! Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the standard sigconf format, using one of the Interim ACM templates available at http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html Please submit your proposal via the PCS 2.0 submission system (https://new.precisionconference.com). The proposals should be organized as follows: - Name and title: A one-word workshop acronym and a full title. - Description of workshop topic and goal: This description should discuss the relevance of the suggested topic to the IUI audience. Include a brief discussion of why and for which audience the workshop is of particular interest. - Organizers: Names, affiliations, emails, and web pages of the workshop organizers. This can be a single person or a group of people. Strong proposals normally include organizers who bring differing perspectives on the topic and are actively connected to the communities of potential participants. Please indicate the primary contact person and the organizers who plan to attend the workshop. - Previous history: List of previous workshops that were held on the topic including the conferences that hosted past workshops and the number of participants. Also please provide the list of other workshops organized by workshop organizers in the past. - Workshop program committee: Names and affiliation of the members of the (tentative) workshop program committee that will evaluate the workshop submissions. - Participants: A statement saying how many participants you expect and how you plan to invite participants for the workshop. We recommend the proposal to include the names of at least 10 people who have expressed interest to participate in, or contribute a paper to, the workshop. - Workshop format: A brief description of the workshop format regarding the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, demonstrations, and general discussion. - Length: Full-day or half-day. - Proposal format: Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the formatting instructions from (sigconf): http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html Additional guidelines: ---------------------- - Workshop proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop chairs. - Organizers: We strongly encourage all of the workshop organizers to attend IUI and take part in their workshop. This can make the workshops more appealing for the participants and strengthen the discussion part. - Workshop summary: An extended abstract with a summary of the workshop goals and an overview of the workshop topics will be included in the ACM Digital Library for IUI 2021. - Workshop proceedings: At the convenience of the workshop organizers, we will arrange a joint volume of online proceedings for the workshop papers. Workshops should request the authors to submit papers in the ACM SIGCHI Paper Format. - Cancellation: Workshops with few submissions by January 3 2021 may be cancelled, shortened, merged with other workshops, or otherwise restructured. This will be done in consultation between the IUI 2021 workshop chairs and the workshop organizers. Additionally, we strongly encourage to have workshop organizers from different institutions and research communities, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative structure that attracts various types of contributions and ensures rich interactions. The organizers of accepted workshops are responsible for producing a call for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop organizers will maintain their own website with updated information about the workshops and the IUI 2021 web site will refer to the workshop site. The workshop organizers will coordinate the paper solicitation, collection, and review process, and coordinate the production of the joint online proceedings with IUI 2021 workshop chairs. == IMPORTANT DATES == Discuss your topic with the workshop chairs: ASAP Workshop date: Proposals Due: September 22, 2020 Decisions sent: October 07, 2020 Submissions due: December 23, 2020 Reporting of status: January 03, 2021 Final go/no-go decisions: January 05, 2021 Notification to authors: January 31, 2021 Camera-ready for workshop summary [ACM Companion] February 10, 2021 Camera-ready for accepted papers February 28, 2021
