Dear colleagues, please find below the Call for Papers for the IEEE AI4H:B2E 2019. It will take place in Cordoba, Spain, on 05-07 June 2019. The deadline is approaching fast, as the CfP expires on February 04, 2019. This is a firm deadline. We do hope you will find this CfP interesting. Please accept our deepest apologies if you receive multiple copies. We do thank you very much for your kind attention. ==================================================================== AI4H:B2E 2019 - IEEE Special Track on Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare: from black box to explainable models Instituto Maimónides de Investigación Biomédica de Córdoba, Spain June 05-07 2019 - http://www.ai4hb2e.icar.cnr.it/ in conjunction with the 32nd IEEE CBMS International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (IEEE CBMS 2019) ==================================================================== MISSION: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The special track on “Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare: from black box to explainable models” - AI4H:B2E 2019 - aims at bringing together researchers from academia, industry, government and medical centers in order to present the state of the art and discuss the latest advances in the emerging area of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Soft Computing (SC) techniques in the fields of medicine, biology, healthcare and wellbeing. In general, in recent years, methods based on AI and SC have proved to be extremely useful in a wide variety of areas, and are becoming more and more widespread, in some cases a sort of a “de facto” standard. Currently, many of the algorithms on offer are often black box in nature (defined as a system which can be viewed in terms of its inputs and outputs without any knowledge of its internal workings). This may not be an issue for certain practical AI solutions in healthcare, yet in other systems it may indeed be a serious limitation. This holds true when a clear explanation should be provided to a user about the reasons why a solution is proposed by an AI-based system. In fact, if the predictive models are not transparent and explainable, we lose the trust of experts such as healthcare practitioners. Moreover, without access to the knowledge of how an algorithm works we cannot truly understand the underlying meaning of the output. Given the above general framework, AI4H:B2E is expected to cover the whole range of methodological and practical aspects related to the use of AI and SC in Healthcare: - we request papers that explore methods to combine state-of-the-art data analytics for exploiting the huge data resources available, while ensuring that these systems are explainable to domain experts. This will result in systems that not only generate new insights but are also more fully trusted. - we also request papers that describe more generally the successful application of AI and SC methodologies to issues as machine learning, deep learning, knowledge discovery, decision support, regression, forecasting, optimization and feature selection in the healthcare, biology, medicine and wellbeing domains. TOPICS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - explainable AI models: - Rule and Logic Based Explanation; - Deep Learning and methods to explain Hidden Layers; - Assistive Technology (AT); - Recommender Systems; - Natural Language for Explanation; - Visualisation & Interactive Interfaces; - the general application of AI and SC methodologies, in Health, Biology and Medicine to issues such as: - Knowledge Management of Health Data; - Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Healthcare; - Machine and Deep learning approaches for Health Data; - Decision Support Systems for Healthcare and Wellbeing; - Optimization for Healthcare problems; - Regression and Forecasting for medical and/or biomedical signals; - Healthcare Information Systems; - Wellness Information Systems; - Medical Signal and Image Processing and Techniques; - Medical Expert Systems; - Diagnosis and Therapy Support Systems; - Biomedical Applications; - Applications of AI in Healthcare and Wellbeing Systems; - Machine Learning-based Medical Systems; - Medical Data and Knowledge Bases; - Neural Networks in Medicine; - Ambient Intelligence and Pervasive Computing in Medicine and Healthcare. PAPER SUBMISSION: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit their papers written in English. Each contribution must be prepared following the IEEE two-column format, and should not exceed the length of 6 (six) Letter-sized pages; the authors may use LaTeX or Microsoft Word templates when preparing their manuscripts. Instructions and Templates are available at http://www.ai4hb2e.icar.cnr.it/submission.html All papers must be submitted electronically using the Easychair conference management system available online at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbms2019 All submissions will be peer-reviewed by three reviewers of the Program Committee. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, and will be published by the IEEE. For each accepted paper, at least one author must register at the conference before the Author Registration Deadline. BEST PAPER AWARD: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A "Best Paper Award" will be conferred on the author(s) of a paper presented at the Special Track, selected by the Chairs based on the best combined marks of paper reviewing, assessed by the Program Committee. This best paper award is technically sponsored by the Institute of High Performance and Computing of the National Research Council of Italy (ICAR - CNR). IMPORTANT DATES: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submission deadline: February 04, 2019 (extended - firm and final) Notification of paper acceptance: March 28, 2019 Submission of camera-ready papers: April 15, 2019 VENUE: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Instituto Maimónides de Investigación Biomédica de Córdoba, Spain FOR ANY OTHER INFORMATION http://www.ai4hb2e.icar.cnr.it/

Forwarding. Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine ) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Markus Kroetzsch <markus.kroetzsch(a)tu-dresden.de> Date: Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 3:54 PM Subject: [Wikidata] Fully funded PhD positions at TU Dresden To: Discussion list for the Wikidata project. <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wikidatans, We are currently looking to fill two 100%-funded researcher positions in the field of knowledge representation, AI, and data analysis. This might be of interest to some of you, or to someone you know: https://iccl.inf.tu-dresden.de/web/Jobs/en Applicants should have (or be about to finish) a very good MSc degree or equivalent in computer science or a related field (esp. mathematics). Knowledge of Wikidata and related technologies is a plus but not a requirement. Postdocs can also apply if their research is related to the project. Our research group is international, with English as the main language in everyday work. The positions are part of a major collaborative research project that aims at improving human understanding of software systems, and which is starting just now; see https://www.perspicuous-computing.science/ We aim to further increase the share of female researchers in our team, so we'd like to encourage women to apply [1]. I am happy to answer informal questions by email. The application deadline is quite soon but it can (and probably will) be extended until the positions are filled. Please feel free to forward this to anyone you know who might be interested. Cheers, Markus [1] All other genders, including men, are welcome too. -- Prof. Dr. Markus Kroetzsch Knowledge-Based Systems Group Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) Faculty of Computer Science TU Dresden +49 351 463 38486 https://kbs.inf.tu-dresden.de/ _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
