14 Jan '05

### to whom it may concern. //fw. Call for Papers --------------- KES 2005 9th International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems Invited Session on Knowledge-Based Technology in Web-Based Education Session Description ------------------- Knowledge-based techonlogical solutions have a great impact on the field of Web-based education (WBE). First, Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) apply knowledge representation and variety of inference techniques to support personalized learning experience on a per learner basis. At the level of knowledge transfer processes, Web-based Training (WBT) systems utilize collaborative, explorative and problem-solving approaches to support an efficient transfer of knowledge between teachers and learners. Moreover, knowledge discovery techniques are becoming very important in searching for relevant learning resources because of a rapidly increasing number of such learning resources available on the Web. Last but not least, the actual use of such new technologies as ontology, Semantic Web languages, Topic maps, etc. for modeling of knowledge-based processes and didactic approaches in WBE is becoming more and more popular. The invited session "Knowledge-Based Technology in Web-Based Education" focuses on the use of knowledge-based techniques, solutions and applications in the field of Web-based education. Session Topics -------------- Session topics include (but are not limited to): * Intelligent tutoring systems * Ontology-based user modeling * Personalized learning experience in WBE * Ontology-based classification of learning resources in WBE * Ontology-supported retrieval of learning resources in WBE * Knowledge transfer processes in WBE systems * Ontological approaches to modeling of didactics in WBE * Semantic Web and WBE Conference Information ---------------------- The annual KES conference (http://www.kesinternational.org/kes2005/) is now a firmly established event in the intelligent systems community's calendar. KES conferences regularly attract over 400 delegates from all parts of the world.

Integrating Data Mining, Databases and Information Retrieval (IDDI-05)
by Fridolin Wild 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

### to whom it may concern. //fw. Call for Papers DEXA 2005 Workshop on Integrating Data Mining, Databases and Information Retrieval (IDDI-05) Copenhagen, Denmark, August 22, 2005 Workshop web site: http://iddi05.unibg.it Aim and Scope Mass storage devices allow organizations to store very large volumes of data; in the form of relational data, textual documents, semi-structured (XML) documents. An important issue organizations would like to address is "how to take advantage from such large volumes of data", in order to extract useful information for decision making, to improve the quality of their activities, for sharing useful knowledge, etc.. Researchers working on data mining and knowledge discovery techniques are providing solutions for discovering useful and/or unexpected information from large volumes of data; in particular, they argued that a strong integration between data mining tools and databases is necessary to foster the day by day exploitation of such techniques. In more than thirty years, researchers belonging to the Information Retrieval community produced a number of proposals of categorization techniques, indexing criteria, retrieval models and user interfaces for dealing with textual and multimedia documents. Nowadays the emerging research themes of IR research deal with collections of multimedia documents heterogeneously structured and rapidly changing in time, and semi-structured (XML) documents. These problems are also faced by the database and data mining communities, even if from a complementary perspective. The workshop is addressed to researchers in data mining, databases, and IR, working on the extension of existing data models, languages and techniques, or on the definition of new data models, languages and techniques, with the aim of improving the capabilities of current systems. In particular, we encourage papers concerning the extraction of information from collections of data, possibly stored in some form of database. Hence we are interested in contributions presenting ideas and solutions based on the integration of data mining and/or database and/or information retrieval. We think that this initiative can yield a cross-fertilisation in the specific field. Position papers are also welcome and encouraged. Topics The topics of the Workshop include but are not limited to the following: * Database models for data mining, knowledge discovery and/or information retrieval applications. * Query languages for data miming or information retrieval. * Text Mining. * Inductive databases. * Data Mining and/or Information Retrieval over collections of semi-structured data or documents. * Integration of data mining and /or database and/or Information Retrieval. * Categorization of data items or semi-structured documents. * Cross-language Information Retrieval. * Document indexing. Submission of papers * Papers should be original and not previously published elsewhere. Basic, applied research and position papers are solicited. * Papers should not be more than 5 pages long using IEEE two column style. Papers that fail to comply with length limitations risk rejection. * Electronic submission in PDF format is preferred, but Postscript will also be accepted. Please note that hard copy and fax submissions will not be accepted. * Precise submission instructions can be found on the workshop web site. Final Version Papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Successively, we plan to edit a book on "Integrating Data Mining, Databases and Information Retrieval", that will contain an extended version of best workshop papers. Important Dates * Paper Submission: March 8, 2005 * Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2005 * Camera-Ready Copy Due: May 15, 2005 * Symposium: August 22, 2005 Organizer: Giuseppe Psaila University of Bergamo Faculty of Engineering Viale Marconi 5 24044 Dalmine (BG) - Italy e-mail: psaila(a)unibg.it Program Committee Chair: Gloria Bordogna CNR Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Istituto per La Dinamica dei Processi Ambientali, Sez.

DUC 2005

### to whom it may concern. //fw. Call for Participation DUC 2005 Document Understanding Conference (DUC) http://duc.nist.gov October 9-10, 2005, Vancouver, BC Conducted by: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Over the past several years, we have witnessed a tremendous increase in interest in summarization research from both academia and industry. A DARPA program, Translingual Information Detection, Extraction, and Summarization (TIDES), specifically called for major advances in summarization technology, both in English and from other languages to English (cross-language summarization). In response, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated the Document Understanding Conference (DUC) series to evaluate automatic text summarization. Its goal is to further progress in summarization and enable researchers to participate in large-scale experiments. In DUC 2001 - 2004 a growing number of research groups (23 in 2004) have participated in the evaluation of generic and focused summaries of English newspaper and newswire data. Various target sizes (10 - 400 words) have been used and both single-document summaries and summaries of multiple documents (around 10 documents per set) have been evaluated. Summaries have been manually judged for their readability, and both manual and automatic evaluation of content coverage have been explored. In 2004 the output of Arabic-to-English MT systems was summarized and automatic scoring (ROUGE) played a major role. DUC 2005 marks a major change in focus from previous years. The roadmapping committee strongly recommended that new tasks be undertaken that are strongly tied to a clear user application. There has also been serious discussion in the program committee about working on new evaluation methodologies and metrics that would better address issues of variation in human-authored summaries. Therefore, the main thrust of DUC 2005 will be to have a single simpler (but still user-oriented) task that will allow the whole community to put some of their time/effort into helping with this new evaluation framework during 2005. The system task in 2005 will be to synthesize from a set of 25-50 documents a brief, well-organized, fluent answer to a need for information that cannot be met by just stating a name, date, quantity, etc. This task will model real-world complex question answering and was suggested by "An Empirical Study of Information Synthesis Tasks" (Enrique Amigo, Julio Gonzalo, Victor Peinado, Anselmo Penas, Felisa Verdejo; {enrique,julio,victor,anselmo,felisa}(a)lsi.uned.es). You are invited to participate in DUC 2005 and in the discussions concerning its definition, scheduling, etc. NIST expects to make the test data available on May 31, 2005, and participants are expected to submit their results by June 17, 2005. Preliminary information about DUC 2005 is available in the DUC 2005 guidelines: <http://www-nlpir.nist.gov/projects/duc/guidelines/2005.html>. Organizations interested in participating in DUC 2005 should *submit an application as soon as possible* to begin participating in the online discussions defining DUC 2005. Submitting an application does not commit you to participating in the DUC 2005 task. However, once you apply you will be subscribed to the DUC2005 email discussion list, which will be the means of discussing and communicating about DUC 2005. You are encouraged to bring up questions, concerns, and suggestions using this forum. Please email your application to Lori.Buckland(a)nist.gov. The application should include the following information: 1. Contact information (organization name, full mailing address, voice and fax phone numbers, email of a main DUC contact) 2. A short paragraph on the organization's summarization approach 3. An indication of whether this group has participated in DUC before Your application should be sent no later than *January 18, 2005*. Discussion and possible modification of the DUC 2005 evaluation task will continue until February 18, 2005, at which time the guidelines will be finalized. Dissemination of DUC work and results other than in the (publicly available) conference proceedings is welcomed, but the conditions of participation preclude specific advertising claims based on DUC results. All summarization results submitted to DUC will be published in the Proceedings and archived on the DUC web site. Any questions concerning DUC should be sent to Hoa.Dang(a)nist.gov. Late applications may be accepted if resources allow, but in no case will sample or test data be released to groups who have not applied. For data, past results, mailing list or other general information see the DUC web site <http://duc.nist.gov> or, if need be, contact Lori Buckland at Lori.Buckland(a)nist.gov.

PEP05: UM05 WORKSHOP ON PRIVACY-ENHANCED PERSONALIZATION
by Fridolin Wild 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

### to whom it may concern. //fw. From: Alfred Kobsa [mailto:kobsa@uci.edu] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 5:13 PM PEP05: UM05 WORKSHOP ON PRIVACY-ENHANCED PERSONALIZATION Personalizing people's interaction with computer systems entails gathering considerable amounts of data about them. As numerous recent surveys have consistently demonstrated, computer users are very concerned about their privacy. Moreover, the collection of personal data is also subject to legal regulations in many countries and states. Such regulations impact a number of frequently employed personalization methods. This workshop will explore the potential of research on "privacy-enhanced personalization," which aims at reconciling the goals and methods of user modeling and personalization with privacy constraints imposed by individual preferences, conventions and laws. It will look at, e.g., the following questions: - How much personal data do individual personalization methods really need? Can we find out in advance or in hindsight what types of data contribute to reasonably successful personalization in a specific application domain, and restrict data collection to these types of data? - Is client-side personalization a possible answer to privacy concerns and legal restrictions? What technical, legal and business obstacles will have to be overcome? - In what way should the user be involved in privacy decisions? What does appropriate notice and choice look like, and what rights must and should be granted? - Will we need trusted third parties, and what services will we need them to provide? - How much can we benefit from anonymity or pseudonymity infrastructures, and are there limits that should be observed? - Are distributed user models an answer or a problem from a privacy perspective? - Does personalization in a mobile context pose additional challenges? How can they be overcome? - Do mobile user models pose additional privacy problems? - How can multi-user personalized systems cater to the privacy constraints of each individual user? - What should an ideal legal framework look like from the perspective of privacy-enhanced personalization? - Are special provisions necessary in the case of people with disabilities and student-adaptive educational systems? The one-day workshop will be held during the Tenth International Conference on User Modeling in Edinburgh, Scotland (http://gate.ac.uk/conferences/um2005/um05.html). It is intended for researchers and practitioners both in the domain of personalization systems and in the area of privacy and security who will make active contributions to the workshop. Two types of contributions are invited: - Papers describing (ongoing) work on one or more of the topics for the workshop (8 page maximum) - Position statements regarding one or more of the topics for the workshop (2 page maximum) Both papers and position statements should be prepared according to the UM05 Instructions for Authors (http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376 -0,00.html) and be sent to kobsa(a)uci.edu and lorrie(a)cs.cmu.edu by March 7, 2005. Each paper and position statement will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. Accepted contributions will be published in the workshop proceedings and will be available on the Web before the workshop. Depending on the quality of the accepted papers, a post-conference book publication is also envisaged. Workshop co-chairs: Alfred Kobsa, University of California, Irvine, CA Lorrie Cranor, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA Program committee: John Canny, University of California, Berkeley, CA Clare-Marie Karat, IBM Watson Research Center, Hawthorne, NJ Judy Kay, University of Sydney, Australia Sarah Spiekermann, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany Loren Terveen, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Additional information on this workshop will become available at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~kobsa/PEP05 Alfred Kobsa University of California, Irvine http://www.ics.uci.edu/~kobsa
