From: Gordon Burtch <gburtch(a)umn.edu>
To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org
Dear colleagues,
We invite submissions for the Sixteenth Symposium on Statistical Challenges
in eCommerce Research (SCECR 2020) to be hosted in Madrid, Spain on June
18-19th, 2020. Please visit http://www.scecr.org for additional conference
details.
Objective
We communicate using hieroglyphics called emojis rather than words, we
watch for a second blue checkmark against a Whatsapp message rather than
eye contact to signal the receipt of a message, we rely on algorithms to
suggest music and mates. And in its turn, technology grows and learns from
how we have been using it. Human endeavor and not just effort has magnified
thanks to our symbiosis with technology. The theme for this symposium will
be “*Technology + Human*”
We welcome submissions from a broad range of topics, including, but not
limited to, electronic markets, social media, FinTech, digitization of
industries and products, and virtually any data-driven phenomena. We
welcome methodological contributions related to statistics, data mining,
machine learning, econometrics, and other empirical approaches motivated by
data. *Submissions should highlight the statistical and empirical
challenges* that arise from the collection, analysis, and modeling of data.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit abstracts of their work for consideration at
the conference. Abstracts should be a maximum of two pages (excluding
references, figures, and tables), and should outline the research conducted
as well as identify the statistical challenges associated with it. As this
is a work-in-progress symposium, we will evaluate abstracts based on the
fit of the research with the symposium’s goals and its ability to stimulate
lively discussion around the particular empirical challenges and potential
solutions. Submissions will be accepted starting January 1st.
Submission URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scecr2020
Submission Length: 2 pages
Submission File Type: PDF
Submission Deadline: *February 14, 2020*

Advanced Modelling of Health Systems and Policies
KES HCIS 2020 Special Session
Split, Croatia - 17/19 June 2020
http://hcis-20.kesinternational.org/index.php
************************************************************************************************************************
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a well-functioning
health system working in harmony is built on having
trained and motivated health workers, a well-maintained infrastructure,
and a reliable supply of medicines and technologies,
backed by adequate funding, strong health plans and evidence-based
policies. Effective laws and efficient legal component
are important bases in creation and setting up of health systems and
public health policies. Challenges like communicable
and non-communicable diseases must have a legal component.
This session is specialised for researchers of different disciplines,
data scientist, big data experts, policy makers and
clinicians, from academia and industry, oriented in solving the
challenges by multisectoral approach. The session is linked
to Universal health coverage (UHC) and Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Data is a key issue of Agenda 2030 and main
goal of this session is to present novel approaches in modelling and
usage of health big data. Target groups which could be
interested in this session: Governments, Public Health Experts, Policy
Makers, Multi‐National Organizations, Statistical Bodies,
R&D Bodies, Civil Society, Private Providers, Health Providers, Health
Managers, Academics and Scientists.
UHC is defined by WHO as ensuring that all people can use the promotive,
preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative
health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while
also ensuring that the use of these services does
not expose the user to financial hardship.
The task of SDG 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for
all at all ages.
As we live in "data revolution" and new technologies, efficient usage of
health data and evidence-based decision-making tools
can be used in implementation and monitoring of UHC and SDGs.
Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Privacy aware Big Data models
- Role of big data in health systems reforms
- Efficient health systems and SDGs
- SDGs and health data
- Data driven modelling of health policies
- Innovative Big Data usage in UHC
- Security aspects in health systems and Big Data analytics
- Monitoring of SDG 3 – big data approach
- Decision support systems in policy making
- Novel Big data solutions for health-related policy making

Description
-----------
Over the last two decades Machine Learning (ML) has made incredible
advancements showing to be very effective in solving specific tasks and
robust in many experimental learning applications. Deep learning,
statistical (relational) learning, reinforcement learning and
(logic-based and/or probabilistic) learning are among the many ML
approaches that are witnessing such advancements. On the other hand,
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) has continued to be at the
core of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research providing solutions for
explicit declarative representation of knowledge and knowledge-based
inference, which have theoretical and practical relevance in many
aspects of AI as well as in new emerging fields outside AI. The synergy
between these two areas of AI has the potential to unlock new
advancements on foundations of AI that offer new insights into open
fundamental challenges included, but not limited to, learning symbolic
generalisations from raw (multi-modal) data, using knowledge to
facilitate data-efficient learning, supporting interpretability of
learned outcomes, federated multi-agent learning and decision making.
This year, for the first time, KR2020 will host a special session on
"Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning". This special session
aims at providing researchers and industrial practitioners with a
dedicated forum for presentation and discussion of new ideas, research
experience and emerging results on topics related to computational
learning and symbolic knowledge representation and reasoning. This
special session provides the opportunity for fostering meaningful
connections between researchers from these two main areas of AI and, at
the same time, offering the possibility to learn about progress made on
these topics, share their own views and learn about approaches that
could lead to effective cross-fertilisation among research in ML and KR
and new innovative solutions to key AI research challenges.
----------------------
Expected contributions
----------------------
The Special Session on KR and ML at KR2020 invites submissions of papers
across KR and ML on advancements in one of these areas for the purpose
of addressing open research challenges in the other, integration of
computational learning and knowledge representation and reasoning, and
the application of combined KR and ML approaches to solve real-world
problems, including case studies and benchmarks.
We welcome papers on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
-- Learning ontologies and knowledge graphs
-- Learning action theories
-- Learning common-sense knowledge
-- Learning spatial and temporal theories
-- Learning preference models
-- Learning causal models
-- Learning tractable probabilistic models
-- Probabilistic reasoning and learning
-- Graphical models for knowledge representation and reasoning
-- Reasoning and learning over knowledge graphs
-- Logic-based learning algorithms
-- Neural-symbolic learning
-- Statistical relational learning
-- Multi-agent learning
-- Machine learning for efficient knowledge inference
-- Symbolic reinforcement learning
-- Learning symbolic abstractions from unstructured data
-- Machine-learning-driven reasoning algorithms
-- Explainable AI
-- Transfer learning
-- Multi-agent learning
-- Expressive power of learning representations
-- Knowledge-driven natural language understanding and dialogue
-- Knowledge-driven decision making
-- Knowledge-driven intelligent systems for internet of things and
cybersecurity
-- Application of knowledge-driven ML to question answering and story
understanding
-- Application of knowledge-driven ML to Robotics
---------------------------------------------
Submission Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria
---------------------------------------------
The special session emphasizes KR and ML, and welcomes contributions
that extend the state of the art at the intersection of KR and ML.
Therefore, KR-only or ML-only submissions will not be accepted for
evaluation in this special session.
Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by PC members, who are
active in KR and ML. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the
overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such
as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of
presentation, and understanding of the state of the art.
In this special session, the selection process of the highest quality
papers will apply the following criteria:
* Importance and novelty of using knowledge representation and reasoning
to advance machine learning, or novelty of using machine learning
solutions to advance knowledge representation and reasoning.
* Applicability of the proposed solutions in real-world.
* Reusability of datasets, case studies and benchmarks for systems
and/or application papers.
* Proved theoretical or empirically demonstrated practical advancement
of the proposed solution with respect to baseline pure KR or ML approaches.

3. Call for Papers - Industry Track
*******************************************
The industry track seeks to present the state of adoption of semantic
technologies in industrial applications, and intends to facilitate a
discussion about what current industry challenges can be addressed with
semantic technologies. These technologies may be used in specific
industries (e.g., media, financials, telecommunications, healthcare,
life sciences, government, intelligence, public sector, industrial
production etc.) and in different application areas (e.g., business
intelligence, smart cities, digital twin, analytics, search, content
management, knowledge management, recommendation systems, data
integration, automotive etc.).
The industry track aims to facilitate the exchange between Semantic Web
researchers and industrial solution developers to bridge between
state-of-the-art research and its application in industrial scenarios.
We welcome contributions about:
* Success stories of adoption of semantic technologies and knowledge
graphs in real-world environments, especially by emphasizing how these
technologies have succeeded in creating value as well as key factors for
the success of the adoption in a large-scale organization.
* Experiences about challenges that are encountered in an industry
setting when adopting a solution based on semantic technologies.
* Contributions about current challenges in industrial fields which
should be tackled by semantic technologies, emphasizing solution
approaches and existing issues that are currently only insufficiently
addressed by Semantic Web research.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Development and application of semantic technologies and knowledge
graphs for specific industries (automotive, financial, healthcare and
life sciences, energy industry, industry 4.0, public sector etc.)
* Real-world applications of semantic technologies for enabling FAIR
(meta) data
* Approaches to bridge between domain experts and semantic technology
experts
* Successful application domains: Knowledge management, data
integration, data sharing, search, Business Intelligence, data
analytics, open data, enterprise data management etc.
* Industrial trends related to the usage of Linked Data, Open Data and
Semantic Web technologies
* Financial and strategic investments in semantic technologies
* Machine Learning approaches in connection with the Semantic Web (e.g.
ML for knowledge graph completion or ontology matching, learning of
knowledge graph and entity embeddings, question answering, etc)

ACM UMAP 2020, the premier international conference for researchers and
practitioners working on systems that adapt to individual users or to groups
of users, and which collect, represent, and model user information, is
pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the
conference. The workshops provide a venue to discuss and explore emerging
areas of User Modelling and Adaptive Hypermedia research with a group of
like-minded researchers and practitioners from industry and academia.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
Workshop Format
In this edition, our goal is to have a balanced workshop program comprising
different workshop formats, combining newly emerging, currently evolving and
established research topics. Different full-day and half-day workshop
schemas are possible, such as:
· Working group meetings around a specific problem or topic; participants
may be asked to submit a white paper or position statement
· Mini-conferences on specialized topics, having their own paper submission
and review processes
· Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual or
team participation
· Interactive discussion meetings focusing on subtopics of the UMAP general
research topics.
· Joint panels for different workshops
Instructions for Proposers
Workshop proposals should not exceed 5 pages and should be organized as
follows:
· Workshop title and acronym
· Workshop chair(s), including affiliation, email address, homepage, and
experiences in organizing such events
· Abstract (up to 300 words) and topics of interest
· Motivation on why the workshop is of particular interest at this time
· Workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper
presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussions
· Intended audience and expected number of participants
· List of (potential) members of the program committee (at least 50% have
to be confirmed at the time of the proposal)
· Requested duration (half day or full day)
· When available, past editions of the workshop, including URLs, a brief
statement on the development of the workshop series, e.g., in terms of
topics, number of paper submissions and participants, post-workshop
publications over the years and acceptance statistics
Submission and Review Process
Workshop proposals should be submitted in PDF format via Easychair
submission site:
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020>
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=umap2020
We encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit workshop
proposals.
Researchers interested in submitting a workshop proposal are invited to
contact us in advance, so we can help to design successful proposals. In
particular, for workshop proposals with novel interactive formats, we are
happy to assist in further developing and implementing the ideas.
We strongly suggest involving organizers from different institutions,
bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops
with a creative structure that may attract various types of contributions
and may ensure rich interactions.
The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop web site
containing the call for papers and detailed information about the workshop
organization and timeline. They will be responsible for their own publicity
and reviewing processes.
There will be a conference adjunct proceedings published by ACM where all
the workshop papers will be published. Hence, the workshop organizers will
need to adhere to the adjunct proceedings publication timeline.
