The papers will be published, after a standard peer-review procedure, in Open Access journal Information. The official deadline for submission is 31 May 2021. However, you may send your manuscript at any time before the deadline. If accepted, the paper will be published very soon. ** SPECIAL ISSUE INFORMATION Machine Learning (ML)-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms can learn from known examples of various abstract representations and models that, once applied to unknown examples, can perform classification, regression, or forecasting tasks, to name a few. Very often, these highly effective ML representations are difficult to understand; this holds true particularly for Deep Learning models, which can involve millions of parameters. However, for many applications, it is of utmost importance for the stakeholders to understand the decisions made by the system, in order to use them better. Furthermore, for decisions that affect an individual, the legislation might even advocate in the future a “right to an explanation”. Overall, improving the algorithms’ explainability may foster trust and social acceptance of AI. The need to make ML algorithms more transparent and more explainable has given rise to several lines of research that form an area known as explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). Among the goals of XAI are adding transparency to ML models by providing detailed information about why the system has reached a particular decision; designing more explainable and transparent ML models, while at the same time maintaining high-performance levels; finding a way to evaluate the overall explainability and transparency of the models and quantifying their effectiveness for different stakeholders. The objective of this Special Issue is to explore recent advances and techniques in the XAI area. Research topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Devising machine learning models that are transparent-by-design; - Planning for transparency, from data collection up to training, test, and production; - Developing algorithms and user interfaces for explainability; - Identifying and mitigating biases in data collection; - Performing black-box model auditing and explanation; - Detecting data bias and algorithmic bias; - Learning causal relationships; - Integrating social and ethical aspects of explainability; - Integrating explainability into existing AI systems; - Designing new explanation modalities; - Exploring theoretical aspects of explanation and interpretability; - Investigating the use of XAI in application sectors such as healthcare, bioinformatics, multimedia, linguistics, human–computer interaction, machine translation, autonomous vehicles, risk assessment, justice, etc. -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] Special Issue on Explainable AI for Sentiment Analysis in KBS (impact factor: 5.921) Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2020 03:04:28 +0000 From: Erik Cambria <cambria(a)ntu.edu.sg> Reply-To: Erik Cambria <cambria(a)ntu.edu.sg> To: cfp(a)sentic.net <cfp(a)sentic.net> TITLE Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Sentiment Analysis EDITORS Erik Cambria, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Akshi Kumar, Delhi Technological University, India Mahmoud Al-Ayyoub, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Jordan Newton Howard, Oxford University, UK JOURNAL Knowledge-Based Systems (impact factor: 5.921) CFP WEBLINK sentic.net/xaisa.pdf BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION Artificial-intelligence driven models, especially deep learning models, have achieved state-of-the-art results for various natural language processing tasks including sentiment analysis. We get highly accurate predictions using these in conjunction with large datasets, but with little understanding of the internal features and representations of the data that a model uses to classify into sentiment categories. Most techniques do not disclose how and why decisions are taken. In other words, these black-box algorithms lack transparency and explainability. Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is an emerging field in machine learning that aims to address how artificial-intelligence systems make decisions. It refers to artificial-intelligence methods and techniques that produce human-comprehensible solutions. XAI solutions will enable enhanced prediction accuracy with decision understanding and traceability of actions taken. XAI aims to improve human understanding, determine the justifiability of decisions made by the machine, introduce trust and reduce bias. This special issue aims to stimulate discussion on the design, use and evaluation of XAI models as the key knowledge-discovery drivers to recognize, interpret, process and simulate human emotion for various sentiment analysis tasks. We invite theoretical work and review articles on practical use-cases of XAI that discuss adding a layer of interpretability and trust to powerful algorithms such as neural networks, ensemble methods including random forests for delivering near real-time intelligence. Concurrently, works on social computing, emotion recognition and affective computing research methods which help mediate, understand and analyze aspects of social behaviors, interactions, and affective states based on observable actions are also encouraged. Full length, original and unpublished research papers based on theoretical or experimental contributions related to understanding, visualizing and interpreting deep learning models for sentiment analysis and interpretable machine learning for sentiment analysis are also welcome. TOPICS OF INTEREST - XAI for sentiment and emotion analysis in social media - XAI for aspect-based sentiment analysis - XAI for multimodal sentiment analysis - XAI for multilingual sentiment analysis - XAI for conversational sentiment analysis - Ante-hoc and post-hoc XAI approaches to sentiment analysis - Semantic models for sentiment analysis - Linguistic knowledge of deep neural networks for sentiment analysis - Explaining sentiment predictions - Trust and interpretability in classification - SenticNet 6 and other XAI-based knowledge bases for sentiment analysis - Sentic LSTM and other XAI-based deep nets for sentiment analysis - Emotion categorization models for polarity detection - Paraphrase detection in opinionated text - Sarcasm and irony detection in online reviews - Bias propagation and opinion diversity on online forums - Opinion spam detection and intention mining TIMEFRAME Submission Deadline: 25th December 2020 Peer Review Due: 1st April 2021 Revision Due: 15th July 2021 Final Decision: 30th September 2021 ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY: This email is intended solely for the person(s) named and may be confidential and/or privileged.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: JDIQ - Special Issue on Deep Learning for Data Quality
by Gustaf Neumann 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: JDIQ - Special Issue on Deep Learning for Data Quality Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2020 08:55:42 -0700 From: Donatello Santoro <donatello.santoro(a)unibas.it> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ___________________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Journal of Data and Information Quality Special Issue on Deep Learning for Data Quality ___________________________________________________________ * Guest Editors: -Paolo Papotti, EURECOM (France) -Donatello Santoro, Università degli Studi della Basilicata (Italy) -Saravanan Thirumuruganathan, QCRI (Qatar) * Context: Deep learning (DL) has been recently used successfully for monitoring and improving data quality (DQ). Examples include data integration tasks such as entity resolution and schema matching, data cleaning tasks such as error detection and repair, and data curation in general. The data curation community has successfully leveraged deep learning techniques spanning from word embeddings to transformers to achieve state-of-the-art performance on well established data quality benchmarks. Nevertheless, there is still an open debate on which technical solution performs best for relational data and under which setting. Despite a promising start, deep learning for data quality has a long way to go in achieving the human level performance that it has achieved in domains such as computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition. While there have been some substantial improvements in specific tasks such as entity resolution and data repair/imputation, many of the other data quality tasks (such as data discovery, data profiling, data integration, record fusion) are yet to fully benefit from the DL revolution. Also, it is not clear how to push DL techniques to get the same level of adaptation achieved by more traditional logic-based methods. For example, interpretability of the models is a key stumbling block. How can one develop DQ explanations that are consumed by non-experts? Should the explanation be generated individually for each error? Or can it be summarized so that the user gets a high level overview? Finally, DL data quality tools need novel explanation algorithms which are not a priority for DL researchers as the architecture is quite specific. This special issue focuses on deep learning used for assessing and improving the quality of data. Thus, the issue is addressed to those members from the data science community proposing novel methods, architectures and algorithms capable of integrating, cleaning and profiling relational data sources with supervised and unsupervised approaches. * Topics: The goal of this special issue is to collect recent advances, innovations, and practices in ML, data and software engineering for building techniques, solutions, and systems that support users in assessing and improving relational data quality. The topics of interest are inspired from the themes above and include, but are not limited to: - Deep learning methods for data integration and data cleaning - Deep learning methods for metadata discovering/profiling, including constraint discovery - Making deep learning methods for data quality interpretable - Experimental studies of deep learning methods for data quality - Deep learning methods for curating data in domain specific applications - Scalability of deep learning methods for data quality (speeding up DL for DQ using GPU) - Characterization of data quality tasks that are more amenable to deep learning - Reducing the need of large amount of training data in supervised approaches (weak- and self-supervision for data quality) - Combination of logic based and DL based methods for data quality * Expected contributions: We welcome three types of research contributions: - Full research papers describing a novel contribution to the field (up to 25 pages) - Experience papers discussing important lessons learned (up to 20 pages) - Vision and Challenge papers (up to 7 pages) - Survey papers (up to 30 pages) * Submission Format: JDIQ welcomes manuscripts that extend prior published work, provided they contain at least 30% new material, and that the significant new contributions are clearly identified in the introduction. Submission guidelines with Latex (preferred) or Word templates are available at: http://jdiq.acm.org/authors.cfm#subm To submit, select the paper type "SI: Deep Learning for Data Quality" * Important Dates: - Submission deadline: March 1, 2021 - First notification: May 15, 2021 - Revised manuscripts deadline: July 15, 2021 - Final notification: September 15, 2021 - Camera-ready manuscripts: October 15, 2021 - Estimated publication date: January 2022 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue on Cybersecurity Incident Response in Organizations - Computers & Security Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2020 21:11:32 +0000 From: Sean Maynard <sean.maynard(a)unimelb.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Special Issue on Cybersecurity Incident Response in Organizations https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-security/call-for-papers/sp… Submission Deadline: May 1, 2021 Guest Editors Atif Ahmad, University of Melbourne, Australia atif(a)unimelb.edu.au Sean Maynard, University of Melbourne, Australia seanbm(a)unimelb.edu.au. Richard Baskerville, Georgia State University, USA baskerville(a)acm.org Special Issue Details The evolving cyber-threat landscape has given rise to new and increasingly potent attacks against organizations. Human attackers use sophisticated tools and techniques to disrupt and destroy cyber infrastructures, deny organizations access to IT services, and steal sensitive information including Intellectual Property, trade secrets and customer data. Incident response takes place under considerable time pressure in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment with high levels of information load, information diversity and task uncertainty. Effective response requires command, control and coordination of diverse teams of organizational stakeholders as they develop situation awareness, adapt to the rapidly evolving situation, raise the necessary resources, and respond to threats. The practice of incident response is a relatively under-studied area of research. The purpose of this special issue is to collect and disseminate the latest advances in this area for a broad audience. We seek submissions that study the real-world problem of incident response and contribute sound practical advice to industry. Papers could employ qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods and design science techniques. Exploratory case studies and action research are welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - In-depth and revelatory case studies of incident response practice in organizations - Maturity models of incident response - Novel conceptualizations of the practice of incident response (e.g. response agility, communication and coordination, organizational learning, knowledge sharing, sense-making, situation awareness, process improvement) - Management of the incident response function (e.g. strategy, policy, risk, training) - Adoption of novel technologies for incident response (e.g. data-fusion and real-time analytics) Important Dates Submission Deadline: May 1, 2021 First Round of Reviews: Aug 1, 2021 Second Round of Reviews: Feb 1, 2022 Final Decision: May 1, 2022 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
