[CFP] International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics in Computer-Aided Diagnosis AIRCAD2025 @ ICIAP2025

by Andrea Loddo

Dear colleagues, please find enclosed the call for papers for the third edition of AIRCAD 2025 @ ICIAP. Kind regards [apologies for multiple postings] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - AIRCAD 2025 @ICIAP 2025 3rd International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Radiomics in Computer-Aided Diagnosis AIRCAD 2025 held in conjunction with the 23rd International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing ICIAP2025, Roma, Italy, September 2025 https://sites.google.com/view/aircad2025 <https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com?d=google.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9zaXRlc…> AIMS AND SCOPE In the modern era, healthcare systems predominantly operate with digital medical data, facilitating a wide array of artificial intelligence applications. There's a growing interest in quantitatively analysing clinical images through techniques like Positron Emission Tomography, Computerised Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, particularly in the realms of texture analysis and radiomics. Through machine and deep learning advancements, researchers can glean insights to enhance the discovery of therapeutic tools, bolster diagnostic decisions, and aid in the rehabilitation process. However, the huge volume of available data may intensify the diagnostic effort, exacerbated by high inter/intra-patient variability, diverse imaging techniques, and the necessity to incorporate data from multiple sensors and sources, thus giving rise to the well-documented domain shift issue. To tackle these challenges, radiologists and pathologists employ Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems, which assist in analysing biomedical images. These systems mitigate or eradicate difficulties arising from inter- and intra-observer variability, ensuring consistent assessments of the same region by the same physician at various times and across different physicians, thanks to adept algorithms. Additionally, significant issues such as delayed or restricted data access, driven by privacy, security, and intellectual property concerns, pose considerable hurdles. Consequently, researchers are increasingly exploring the use of synthetic data, both for model training and for simulating scenarios not observed in real life. Furthermore, the emergence of foundation models, such as Vision Transformers and large multimodal models, represents a paradigm shift in medical image analysis. These models, pre-trained on vast datasets, demonstrate remarkable adaptability across various tasks, including segmentation, classification, and multi-modal integration. Their ability to generalise effectively offers promising avenues for addressing domain shift issues and integrating heterogeneous data sources, enhancing diagnostic and predictive accuracy. This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in biomedical image processing, leveraging machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and radiomics features. Emphasis is placed on practical applications, including potential solutions to address domain shift issues, the utilisation of synthetic images to augment CAD systems, and the integration of foundation models into clinical workflows. Ultimately, the aim is to explore how these techniques can seamlessly integrate into the conventional medical image processing workflow, encompassing image acquisition, retrieval, disease detection, prediction, and classification. TOPICS The workshop calls for submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics: - Machine and Deep Learning techniques for image analysis (i.e., segmentation of cells, tissues, organs, lesions; classification of cells, diseases, tumours, etc.) - Image Registration Techniques - Image Preprocessing Techniques (e.g., noise reduction, enhancement of contrast) - Image-based 3D reconstruction - Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis Systems (CADs) to support clinicians in identifying pathological conditions - Radiomics and Artificial intelligence for personalised medicine - Machine and Deep Learning as tools to support medical diagnoses and decisions - Image retrieval (e.g., context-based retrieval, lesion similarity) - Advanced architecture for biomedical image remote processing, elaboration and transmission - 3D Vision, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality application for remote surgery - Image processing techniques for privacy-preserving AI in medicine. - Generation and utilisation of synthetic medical images for model training and validation - Foundation models (e.g., Vision Transformers, GPT-like architectures) for medical image analysis and multi-modal data integration - Techniques for evaluating the reliability and robustness of synthetic data in clinical scenarios - Ethical and Regulatory Aspects in AI-Driven Medical Imaging - Frameworks for ethical AI development and deployment in healthcare. - Addressing biases and ensuring fairness in AI-driven diagnostic systems. - Compliance with regulatory standards for AI-based medical devices - Addressing the transparency issue with explainable AI models in clinical practice. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Accepted papers will be included in the ICIAP 2025 proceedings, which will be published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS).

1st RAISE Workshop: Resilient AI Framework for Secure and Ethical Machine Learning Systems

by Bernardo Breve

1st RAISE Workshop: Resilient AI Framework for Secure and Ethical Machine Learning Systems co-located with the 16th Biannual Conference of the Italian SIGCHI Chapter - "Technologies and Methodologies of Human-Computer Interaction in the Third Millenium” (CHITALY 2025) - https://chitaly2025.di.unisa.it/ Salerno, Italy 6-10 October, 2025 Workshop website: https://raise-ws.github.io/chitaly2025 Call for papers The emerging field of Resilient AI recognizes that technological systems cannot be viewed as isolated, abstract entities. Instead, they need to be understood in their broader socio-technical context, where AI and algorithms function as complex systems shaped by collective and distributive practices. In order to ensure that AI systems are robust, fair and in line with human values, it is crucial to develop methods that enhance their resilience across multiple dimensions, such as reliability, accountability, fairness and ethical integrity. A number of challenges need to be addressed to guarantee resilient AI. These include the need to balance human control and automation to ensure that AI systems remain intuitive, transparent and trustworthy, while adapting to user preferences and needs. Robustness and reliability are critical concerns, requiring mechanisms to detect and mitigate functional and non-functional defects, such as errors, biases and vulnerabilities, to maintain essential properties such as safety and accuracy. Moreover, fairness must be addressed within ML pipelines, embedding techniques that promote inclusivity and unbiased decision-making to prevent discrimination and reinforce social responsibility. Another pressing issue is the verification, validation, and testing of AI models; while advances in AI and search-based software engineering have enabled automated test case generation and validation, empirical studies are still needed to investigate AI defects and their impact on system performance. Furthermore, ensuring high-quality data is a fundamental challenge since effective data profiling, imputation, and anomaly detection must be developed to handle missing values, outliers, and inconsistences, improving overall AI model performance and reliability. The RAISE workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to address challenges including data quality, privacy protection, human-centered AI design, and the validation of machine learning systems. RAISE promotes interdisciplinary discussion to explore innovative techniques and empirical studies for building AI systems that are secure, interpretable, and inclusive. Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: • Data profiling approaches for AI systems • Data quality approaches for AI systems • Tools and metrics to summarize data relationships • Privacy concerns of AI systems • Privacy-preserving machine learning • Ethics and trustworthy AI • Reliability and fairness of AI-based systems • Resilient AI models • Empirical evaluation of resilient AI solutions in real-world cases • Verification and validation methods for AI-based systems • Explainable AI • AI solutions to critical scenarios • Domain-specific AI solutions • AI-based systems for human interaction • AI-based systems for requirements analysis • AI-based adaptive systems • User-centered design solutions for AI-based systems • AR/VR user-centered interfaces for AI-based systems • Adaptation of AR/VR in learning contexts • Neuro-Symbolic AI Important Dates First submission round - Submission deadline: June 13th 2025 - Notification: July 11th 2025 - Camera-ready: July 31st 2025 Second submission round - Submission deadline: September 5th 2025 - Notification: September 12th 2025 - Camera-ready: September 22nd 2025 Submissions and Evaluation Criteria We invite submissions of original research and position papers.

At the end of the session, there will be a participatory activity, through which we will be able to exchange ideas, comments, and reflections concerning the best practices and challenges of Symbiotic Artificial Intelligence for Collaborative Learning Environments. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics The topics that will be addressed in the workshop are the following: The impact of a symbiotic human-AI relationship in collaborative environments. Human-Computer Interaction methodologies and techniques to foster symbiosis between humans and AI. Using AI in human learning processes to assist humans cognitively. Using AI for education and skill development. Methodologies and techniques for transferring knowledge between humans and AI through feedback mechanisms. Ethical considerations in human-AI collaborative environments (bias mitigation, fairness, non-discrimination, etc). AI adaptability for personalized interaction experience based on individuals' requirements. The role of trustworthiness in human-AI collaboration for critical activities. Design and evaluation of systems that foster and support human-AI collaboration. Case studies of AI in real-world applications (medicine, healthcare, education, etc). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions and Evaluation Criteria Contributions for the workshop must be submitted through EasyChair using the following link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=colsai2025, following the LaTeX or Microsoft Word template, available at: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip.
