Betreff: [computational.science] The Second International Workshop on
Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018)
Datum: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 09:02:15 +0100

The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018)
http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of The 18th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2018), http://www.iccsa.org
July 2 - 5 2018, Melbourne, Australia
Submission Deadline: January 28, 2018
SPECIAL ISSUE
Selected extended versions of workshop papers will be invited to a Special Issue to appear in the Algorithms journal (see http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_…)
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics.
The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP
- Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators
- Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA
- Distributed data mining algorithms
- Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications
- Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining
- Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware
- Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining
- Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining

Betreff: [AISWorld] Behaviour & Information Technology Journal: special
issue on The impact of interface design for soliciting user's feedback
Datum: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 09:03:06 +0200
Von: Tsvi Kuflik <tsvikak(a)is.haifa.ac.il>

[Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement]
***
Users' feedback is becoming more and more important in many different
contexts of interaction, such as in recommender systems, social network,
e-democracy, quantified-self, affective computing, and also in the IOT
world. Most of these systems need user feedback for their proper working
(i.e. recommender systems, affective computing based systems, reputation
systems), or because is linked to their inner nature (e-democracy and social
network systems), or for adapting their behaviour according to a specific
user's behaviour while using an object in the real or virtual world (IOT and
user-adaptive systems). Hence stimulating users to provide explicit feedback
becomes an important challenge, especially as users are reluctant to provide
it and using and relying on implicit feedback has its limitations.
The excplit and/or implicit collection of users feedback (opinions, ratings,
likes, physiological states, usage of virtual or tangible objects, etc.) is
a central feature in the the design of such systems, and their design may
have an impact on the way the feedback is collected and interpreted.
The proposed special issue will focus on the impact of users' feedback and
on how feedback is solicited and ways to encourage/convince users to provide
it.
What can I contribute?
. Rating scales and their design and evaluation
. Micro action and their design and evaluation
. Evaluation of the use of tags, like, emoticons, icons
. Gamified approaches for eliciting users feedback
. Feedback elicitation in Quantified-self context
. What impacts user feedback in social network
. What impacts user feedback in IOT, expecially in the term of
physical interaction
. What impacts user feedback in recommender systems
. What impacts user feedback in the ubiquitous web
. What impacts user feedback in the augmented reality
. Implict modalities for acquiring user feedback: user
observation and monitoring, gaze and gesture detection, emotion detection,
phisiological state detection etc
. Influence of interaction modalities (e.g. the rating scales
widget, the use of gestures, etc) on the ratings
