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:

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.

About The Conference:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are widely used in computer applications to perform tasks such as monitoring, forecasting, recommending, prediction, and statistical reporting. They are deployed in a variety of systems including driverless vehicles, robot controlled warehouses, financial forecasting applications, and security enforcement and are increasingly integrated with cloud/fog/edge computing, big data analytics, robotics, Internet-of-Things, mobile computing, smart cities, smart homes, intelligent healthcare, etc. However, the quality assurance of existing AI application development processes is still far from satisfactory and the demand for being able to show demonstrable levels of confidence in such systems is growing. Software testing is a fundamental, effective and recognized quality assurance method which has shown its cost-effectiveness to ensure the reliability of many complex software-systems. However, the adaptation of software testing to the peculiarities of AI applications remains largely unexplored and needs extensive research to be performed. On the other hand, the availability of AI technologies provides an exciting opportunity to improve existing software testing processes, and recent years have shown that machine learning, data mining, knowledge representation, constraint optimization, planning, scheduling, multi-agent systems, etc. have real potential to positively impact on software testing. Recent years have seen a rapid growth of interests in testing AI applications as well as application of AI techniques to software testing. It is, therefore, timely to provide an international forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange novel research results, to articulate the problems and challenges from practices, to deepen our understanding of the subject area with new theories, methodologies, techniques, processes models, etc., and to improve the practices with new tools and resources. This is the aim of the IEEE conference on AI Testing.
