-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Cfp: Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 18:39:40 +0000 From: Dennehy, Denis <denis.dennehy(a)nuigalway.ie> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The 20th IFIP Conference e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society I3E2021 Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society 1st – 3rd September 2021 NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland www.I3E2021.com<http://www.I3E2021.com> AI, analytics, and ICT in general, create opportunities and unintended or negative consequences for individuals and society (cf. Ransbotham et al., 2016; Majchrzak et al., 2016). These opportunities and consequences have not been evenly distributed. Despite the many personal, economic, and societal benefits offered by AI and analytics, its use raises a variety of ethical concerns. Ethics permeates the entire analytics process, from what data to use, to how to represent the extracted knowledge and exploit the insights to create economic and social value. Ethical concerns (i.e. illegitimate surveillance, invasion of privacy, unemployment, malicious use etc.) are frequently used to portray AI and analytics as ‘a danger to humanity’. These concerns warrant the attention of the academic community who are in a privileged position within society to raise awareness about the responsible design, implementation and use of AI, analytics, and ICT. At the same time, AI and analytics has opened new domains of exclusion and privilege for some, leaving some individuals and communities excluded from the digitised society. For example, digital exclusion is part of the overall challenge of exclusion, a growing phenomenon which carries with it a series of deteriorations in life paths (i.e. poor lifelong earnings and an increased risk of marginalisation). There are many who are currently excluded for reasons of low income and education, location, culture, trust and confidence levels or various disabilities (European Commission). Success in the increasingly digitised society requires a comprehensive approach to fostering an ethical and inclusive society. The 20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society aims to bring together contributions from a variety of perspectives, disciplines and communities for the advancement of knowledge regarding Responsible AI and Analytics for an Ethical and Inclusive Digitised Society. To this end, we invite scholars, practitioners and research students to submit and present their papers and findings to the 20th IFIP Conference on e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society to be held in September 2021 at NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland.

Fwd: [AISWorld] HICSS Minitrack Advances in Trust Research: Artificial Intelligence in Organizations
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Jul '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS Minitrack Advances in Trust Research: Artificial Intelligence in Organizations Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 16:01:34 +0000 From: Jarvenpaa, Sirkka L <Sirkka.Jarvenpaa(a)mccombs.utexas.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Minitrack: Advances in Trust Research: Artificial Intelligence in Organizations TRACK: ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY 05-08 January, 2021 Grand Hyatt Kauai http://hicss.hawaii.edu Within the 54th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organize a minitrack on "Advances in Trust Research: Artificial Intelligence in Organizations". The 54th HICSS, one of the most prominent conferences on Information Systems and Sciences worldwide, will be held January 05-08, 2021 at Grand Hyatt Kauai (http://hicss.hawaii.edu)<about:blank>. Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the relationship of humans and machines in organizations. AI is already widely used to enhance organizational efficiency by automating simple work tasks previously conducted by humans. Furthermore, organizations are increasingly exploring AI to enhance organizational effectiveness. For example, by drawing on large datasets, AI is applied in decision making, problem-solving, reasoning, learning and creativity in various organizational functions including HR, production, finance, marketing, logistics and innovation. Despite the current rapid development of relevant technologies uncertainty prevails of the real benefits and value created by AI. For example, opaque AI computations can hardly be explained to internal or external stakeholders, potentially resulting in outcomes that can hardly be trusted. The discussion of whether AI will create a utopia or dystopia for organizations and their employees prevails. Trust is highly relevant for understanding the adoption and related risks and opportunities of AI in contemporary organizations. Until recently, research on trust has been dominated by the conceptual and empirical assessment of organisational and interpersonal trust. However, the sources and referents of trust, and the trust mechanisms that shape trusting beliefs and behavior are becoming more diverse, and increasingly including complex technological referents - such as AI - as well as the trust mechanisms that shape trusting beliefs and behavior. In this mini-track, we aim to focus the relationship of trust and AI in organizations. How do new advancements in AI change the way we trust, and trust-related processes in organizations? What forms will trust take in the context of intelligent systems being implemented by organizations? How do decision makers interpret and build trust in AI applications? When and how do trust in AI, trust in organizations, trust in humans, and trust in technology augment or substitute each other? How can we conceptualize and measure trust in AI? What shapes trust in AI and its consequences for organizations? What are the various risks and vulnerabilities to trust imposed by emerging algorithmic capabilities, cloud-based platforms, complex platform infrastructures, and highly distributed peer-to-peer systems? AI development and adoption requires interdisciplinary and cross-border collaboration among analytics experts, software developers, business and users. What kind of challenges and opportunities are involved in augmented intelligence and related decision-making from an organizational perspective? In what conditions do decision makers/managers/employees trust in AI, and when in human knowledge? Is it possible that human-like AI systems exacerbate rather than compensate weaknesses common in trust assessments made in contemporary organizations? We welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding by addressing the cross-section of the two topic areas (1) trust research and (2) artificial intelligence in organizations. Papers can use any acceptable methodology and/or theory. Some possible topic areas include but are not limited to the following: * Understanding the role of AI and trust in complex organizational decision making * How do AI-powered algorithmic management practices implemented by organizations affect employee trust? * Understanding the role of trust in the development and implementation of the algorithmic cycle in organizations, e.g., functions, openness of coding, data collection and implementation of new services * Understanding trust relationships between individuals, organizations, and emerging technologies, e.g., personal robots, smart toys, wearables, personal voice assistants, 3D printing, autonomous vehicles, drones. * How can organizations increase trust in opaque black-box AI algorithms? * How can organizations maintain employee trust when introducing robots substituting or augmenting employee work tasks? * Understanding trust in AI in teams, problem solving and creative work * When and how could AI as supervisor or team member build employee trust? * How can organizations manage bias and maintain stakeholder trust in AI-enabled decision-making? * How do norms and policies at organizational and/or institutional level influence trust in organizational AI development and adoption?

02 Jul '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd FashionXRecsys Workshop - RecSys Conference - 26th September Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2020 12:01:07 +0000 From: Shatha Jaradat <shatha(a)kth.se> Reply-To: Shatha Jaradat <shatha(a)kth.se> *FashionXRecsys* - Workshop on Recommender Systems in Fashion *In conjunction with ACM RecSys 2020 (26th September 2020)* https://fashionxrecsys.github.io/fashionxrecsys-2020/ ***Important Note*** Due to concerns about COVID-19, RecSys 2020 will cancel its physical component and go fully virtual. We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 2nd workshop on Recommender Systems in Fashion (FashionXRecsys) that will be held on September 26th, 2020. Online Fashion retailers have significantly increased in popularity over the last decade, making it possible for customers to explore hundreds of thousands of products without the need to visit multiple stores or stand in long queues for checkout. However, the customers still face several hurdles with current online shopping solutions. For example, customers often feel overwhelmed with the large selection of the assortment and brands. In addition, there is still a lack of effective suggestions capable of satisfying customers’ style preferences, or size and fit needs, necessary to enable them in their decision-making process. In this context, recommender systems are very well positioned to play a crucial role in creating a great customer experience in fashion. Moreover, in recent years social shopping in fashion has surfaced, thanks to platforms such as Instagram, providing a very interesting opportunity that allows to explore fashion in radically new ways. Such recent developments provide exciting challenges for the Recommender Systems and Machine Learning research communities. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the fashion, recommendations and machine learning domains to discuss open problems in the aforementioned areas. This involves addressing interdisciplinary problems with all of the challenges it entails. Within this workshop we aim to start the conversation among professionals in the fashion and e-commerce industries and recommender systems scientists, and create a new space for collaboration between these communities necessary for tackling these deep problems. To provide rich opportunities to share opinions and experience in such an emerging field, we will accept paper submissions on established and novel ideas, as well as new interactive participation formats. *Suggested topics for submissions are (but not limited to):* * Computer vision in Fashion (image classification, semantic segmentation, object detection) * Deep learning in recommendation systems for Fashion * Learning and application of fashion style (personalized style, implicit and explicit preferences, budget, social behaviour, etc) * Size and Fit recommendations through mining customers implicit and explicit size and fit preferences * Modelling articles and brands size and fit similarity * Usage of ontologies and article metadata in fashion and retail (NLP, social mining, search) * Addressing cold-start problem both for items and users in fashion recommendation * Knowledge transfer in multi-domain fashion recommendation systems * Hybrid recommendations on customers’ history and on-line behavior * Multi- or Cross- domain recommendations (social media and online shops) * Privacy preserving techniques for customer’s preferences tracing * Understanding social and psychological factors and impacts of influence on users’ fashion choices (such as Instagram, influencers, etc.) In order to encourage the reproducibility of research work presented in the workshop, we put together a list of open datasets in the fashionXrecsys website <https://fashionxrecsys.github.io/fashionxrecsys-2020/#datasets>.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP: Modeling Language Engineering and Execution (MLE'20) at MODELS'20
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: Modeling Language Engineering and Execution (MLE'20) at MODELS'20 Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2020 17:17:36 +0200 From: Andreas Wortmann <wortmann(a)se-rwth.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------------------------ 2nd International Workshop on Modeling Language Engineering and Execution (MLE'20) at MODELS'20 https://mleworkshop.github.io/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Software-intensive systems are complicated, driven by the need to integrate across multiple concerns. Consequently, the development of such systems requires the integration of different concerns and skills. These concerns can be covered by different domain-specific modeling languages, with specific concepts, technologies, and abstraction levels. This multiplication of languages eases the development related to each individual specific concern but raises language and technology integration problems at the different stages of the software life cycle. To reason about the global system as a whole, it is necessary to explicitly describe the different kinds of relationships that exist between the different languages used in its development. To support effective language integration, there is a pressing need to reify and classify these relationships, as well as the language interactions that the relationships enable. Equally, the proliferation of domain-specific modeling languages required increases the need for effective and efficient techniques for engineering languages and their support infrastructures (transformations, analysis tools, editors, execution infrastructure, debuggers, ...). The Modeling Language Engineering and Execution (MLE) workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on modeling-language and software-language engineering. It is a meeting opportunity for Software Language Engineering (SLE) enthusiasts within the software-modeling community. The topics of interest for MLE 2020 include: - Methodologies, languages, techniques, and methods for designing and implementing (executable) modeling languages - Composition, extension, and reuse of (executable) modeling languages and model execution tools - Heterogeneous modeling, simulation, and execution - Customization of (executable) modeling languages - Integration of (executable) modeling and programming languages - Semantics-aware model transformations and code generation - Scalability of model execution and execution-based model analysis - Execution of partial and underspecified models - Model execution with non-determinism and concurrency - Tracing model executions and analyzing model execution traces - Model execution tools for the (dynamic) validation, verification, and testing of systems (e.g., model animation, debugging, simulation, trace exploration, model checking, symbolic execution) - Automating the development of modeling and model execution tools Maintenance-related topics - Evolution in the context of executable modeling (e.g., evolution of executable modeling languages, execution semantics, executable models, model execution tools) - Verification of semantic conformance (e.g., among executable modeling languages, executable models, model execution tools) - Integration challenges for (executable) languages, from requirements to design, for analysis and simulation, during runtime, etc. - Case studies and experience reports on the successful or failed adoption of (executable) modeling in different domains - Surveys and benchmarks on the development of (executable) modeling languages, model execution, and model analyses Submissions describing practical and industrial experience related to the use of executable and/or heterogeneous modeling languages are also encouraged, particularly regarding Cyber-Physical Systems, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, Complex Adaptive Systems, Smart Cities and Buildings. ------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Format ------------------------------------------------------------ The format of the workshop reflects the goals of the workshop: constructive feedback on submitted papers and other artifacts on the engineering or use of modeling languages, collaborations, and community building. Hence, there is less focus on presentations and more focus on producing and documenting a research content that identifies challenges, different forms of language engineering and integration, and relates existing solutions. The workshop consists of a morning session in which a keynote and short presentations of the accepted papers will be given. A significant amount of time will be reserved for discussing each paper and their relations to each other. The afternoon is for working sessions dedicated to open discussions of the presented contributions and topics suggested by the participants. ------------------------------------------------------------ Submission ------------------------------------------------------------ We expect early research results about the aforementioned topics, descriptions of problems, case studies, experience reports, or solutions related to the topics of interest. Each contribution must be described in 5 pages in ACM format. Papers that describe use cases or novel approaches can be accompanied by concrete artifacts, such as models (requirements, design, analysis, transformation, composition, etc.), stored in a public repository. Artifacts should illustrate any experience on the conjoint use of different modeling languages. All submissions have to follow the ACM format and must be submitted electronically in PDF format via Easychair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=mle2020). They will be evaluated by at least three members of the program committee regarding novelty, correctness, significance, readability, and alignment with the workshop call. Furthermore, all submissions must be original work and must not have been previously published or being under review elsewhere. The accepted papers will be published as ACM online proceedings and indexed in DBLP and Scopus. ------------------------------------------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------ - Paper submission deadline: July 22, 2020 - Notification of acceptance: August 21, 2020 - Camera-ready deadline: August 28, 2020 - Workshop: October 18, 19 or 20, 2020 ------------------------------------------------------------ Program Committee ------------------------------------------------------------ - Erwan Bousse (Université de Nantes) - Marsha Chechik (University of Toronto) - Federico Ciccozzi (Mälardalen University) - Tony Clark (Sheffield Hallam University) - Benoit Combemale (University of Toulouse) - Jonathan Corley (University of West Georgia) - Julien Deantoni (UNS- I3S- INRIA Sophia Antipolis Mediterranee) - Marjan Mernik (University of Maribor) - Gunter Mussbacher (McGill University) - Florian Noyrit (CEA LIST) - Richard Paige (University of York) - Bernhard Rumpe (RWTH Aachen University) - Matthias Schöttle (McGill University) - Safouan Taha (CentraleSupélec, LRI) - Federico Tomassetti (Strumenta) - Mark van den Brand (Eindhoven University of Technology) ------------------------------------------------------------ Organizers ------------------------------------------------------------ - Andreas Wortmann (RWTH Aachen University) - Steffen Zschaler (King’s College London) - Taylor L.

Fwd: [AISWorld] HCOMP 2020: Call for Work-in-Progress and Demonstration Papers
by Gustaf Neumann 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HCOMP 2020: Call for Work-in-Progress and Demonstration Papers Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2020 13:41:36 +0200 From: HCOMP Publicity <hcomp.publicity(a)gmail.com> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org * We apologize for cross-posting * *** Covid-19 announcement *** The HCOMP organisers are monitoring the ongoing situation around Covid-19 closely. We plan to hold the conference at the same dates, either online, or, if it‘s safe and the restrictions allow it, at the planned venue in the Netherlands. We aim to disclose further details in a few months. In the meantime, we’re looking forward to your submissions! *** HCOMP 2020: Call for Work-in-Progress and Demonstration Papers *** Hilversum, the Netherlands October 26-28 2020 Website: https://www.humancomputation.com Twitter: @hcomp_conf <> <>IMPORTANT DATES - All times are midnight CEST (Amsterdam time) August 7, 2020: Submission due August 20, 2020: Notification of acceptance September 20, 2020: Final camera-ready papers due <>OVERVIEW The Works-in-Progress and Demonstration track focuses on recent findings or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work, hands-on demonstration, novel interactive technologies and experiences relevant to the HCOMP community. We encourage practitioners and researchers to submit Works-in-Progress & Demo Track as it provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. To maximise visibility this year accepted Works-in-Progress and Demonstration submissions will also be presented with a 1-2 min PechaKucha presentation dedicated to the Works-in-Progress & Demonstration Track within the HCOMP plenary programme. Submissions are welcome from any area of computer science, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction, to economics and the social sciences, all the way to digital humanities, policy, and ethics. This year, we especially encourage work that generate new insights into the “human computation” side of HCOMP, such as new understandings about human cognition, human-in-the-loop intelligence systems, human-AI interaction and collaboration, algorithmic and interface techniques for augmenting human abilities to perform tasks, and other issues that affect how humans collaborate with AI systems (such as bias, fairness, and interpretability). <>Works-in-progress A Work-in-Progress is a concise report of recent findings or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work relevant to the HCOMP community. The difference between Works-in-Progress and other contribution types is that Work-in-Progress submissions represent work that has not reached a level of completion that would warrant the full Refereed selection process. That said, appropriate submissions should make some contribution to the body of HCOMP knowledge, whether realized or promised. A significant benefit of a Work-in-Progress derives from the discussion between the author and conference attendees that will be fostered by the face-to-face presentation of the work. Work-in-Progress submissions are in the form of a ~2 page extended abstract, see Submission section. <>Demonstrations A demonstration is a high-visibility, high-impact forum of the HCOMP program that allows you to present your hands-on demonstration, share novel interactive technologies, and stage interactive experiences. Demonstrations will showcase this year’s most exciting human computation and collaborative human-AI prototypes and systems. If you have an interesting prototype, system, exhibit or installation, we want to know about it. Sharing hands-on experiences of your work is often the best way to communicate what you have created. The demonstration submission should describe the nature of the system as well as the expected form of interaction with the user and the audience. If you have special infrastructure requirements for the demonstration, please include them in a dedicated paragraph within the submission. Demonstrations submissions are in the form of a ~2 page extended abstract, see Submission section. <>SUBMISSION All submitted Works-in-Progress and Demos must represent original work, not previously published or under simultaneous peer-review for any other peer-reviewed, archival conference or journal. Submissions must be done in the form of up to 2 pages Extended Abstract (references can extend beyond the 2 pages) via the HCOMP-20 EasyChair Website. Submissions to Easychair is required on or before the deadline listed above. We cannot accept submissions by e-mail or fax. Authors will receive confirmation of receipt of their submissions, including an ID number, shortly after submission. HCOMP will contact authors again only if problems are encountered with papers. Inquiries regarding paper receipt must be made no later than August 10. <>Formatting Extended Abstracts must be formatted in AAAI two-column, camera-ready style; please refer to the AAAI 2020 Author Kit for details. Papers must be in trouble-free, high-resolution PDF format, formatted for US Letter (8.5″ x 11″) paper, using Type 1 or TrueType fonts. The AAAI copyright block is not required for works-in-progress or demo submissions, as they are not included in the formal proceedings. Please see below for information about publication. <>Supplemental Materials Authors are invited, but not required, to include supplemental materials such as executables and data files so that reviewers can reproduce results in the paper, images, additional videos, related papers, more detailed explanations, derivations, or results. These materials will be viewed only at the discretion of the reviewers, who are only obligated to read your paper itself. <>NOT Anonymized Authors should include information identifying themselves and their institutions for single-blind review. <>REVIEWS Submissions to the Works-in-Progress & Demonstration Track will be curated. This means that submissions will only be evaluated by the Works-in-Progress & Demonstration chairs (in coordination with other relevant conference chairs). Authors should expect to receive only very light feedback on their submissions. <>PUBLICATION AND PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will NOT be included in official conference proceedings, and so may be submitted later to other conferences or journals for official publication. Accepted papers will be made available online on the conference website, and a summary of the WiP and Demo session will be provided in the AAAI AI Magazine. <>PRESENTING AT THE CONFERENCE Accepted submissions will be presented at the conference in two main modalities: 1) with a 1-2 min PechaKucha presentation in a plenary session dedicated to the Works-in-Progress & Demonstration Track within the HCOMP plenary programme, and 2) with an author proposed presentation format. Authors can propose their desired presentation format(s) at the time of submission, including (but not limited to) poster, interactive demo, short video, short presentation, or small exhibition booth. The eventual format(s) will be decided in cooperation between authors and conference organizers. Authors are asked to include special requests and requirements at the time of submission by sending an email to the chairs. <>WORK-IN-PROGRESS AND DEMO AWARD HCOMP 2020 will recognize one best Works-in-Progress and one best Demonstration. Announcement of the winners will be done at the conference in a plenary session together with the other conference award. The Works-in-Progress and Demonstration chairs will assess the Works-in-Progress and Demonstrations submissions to determine the winners (considering both quality of paper submission and presentation at the conference). <>CONTACTS Please contact the Works-in-progress and Demonstration Co-Chairs if you have any questions.
