11 Jan '13

日本データベース学会の皆様北海道大学の小山と申します。今年の人工知能学会全国大会で「ヒューマンコンピュテーションとクラウドソーシング」に関するオーガナイズドセッションを開催いたします。皆様のご投稿・ご参加をお待ちしております。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　論文募集第27回人工知能学会全国大会(JSAI2013) 　　　オーガナイズドセッション　　　　　「OS-7：ヒューマンコンピュテーションとクラウドソーシング」 http://www.ai-gakkai.or.jp/conf/2013/os#os-7 　　　　　　　2013年6月4日(火)-6月7日(金)（富山国際会議場ほか）開催趣旨：ヒューマンコンピュテーションとは、計算機だけでは現実的な性能を得ることが難しく、人間の認識や判断等を必要とするような課題において、人間を「計算資源」の一部として捉えることによって、計算機と人間の両者を組み合せてこれを解決するという考え方である。計算資源としての人間の労働力へのアクセス手段であるクラウドソーシングの隆盛とも相まって、ヒューマンコンピュテーションは人工知能分野のおける大きなトレンドのひとつとして注目を集めている。例えば、AAAI-2012においてHenry Kautz前会長がAI分野における4大トレンドのひとつとしてヒューマンコンピュテーションを挙げたことは記憶に新しい。また、ヒューマンコンピュテーションの提唱者であるLuis von Ahn氏を中心として過去4年にわたって開催されてきたワークショップHCOMPは、2013年から国際会議に格上げされることが決定している。しかし、その世界的な盛り上がりとは裏腹に、日本国内におけるプレーヤーはまだ少ない。本オーガナイズドセッションは、我が国におけるヒューマンコンピュテーションとクラウドソーシングに関連する研究者とこの分野に興味を持つ研究者が一同に会することによって、国内における本分野への理解と一層の推進を図るものである。テーマ例：・ヒューマンコンピュテーション／クラウドソーシング（HC/CS）のプラットフォーム・HC/CSのメカニズムデザイン・HC/CSにおけるタスク設計／ワークフロー設計・HC/CSと機械学習／データマイニング・HC/CSとヒューマン・コンピュータ・インタラクション・HC/CSと言語／メディア処理・HC/CSとビッグデータ・HC/CSとサイバーフィジカルシステム・HC/CSと社会科学／認知科学・ゲーミフィケーション／目的を持ったゲーム（GWAP) ・ソーシャルコンピューティング／コレクティブインテリジェンス（集合知）招待講演：森嶋厚行（筑波大学）「Crowd4U: アカデミアと応用分野専門家が構築する高度クラウドソーシングプラットフォーム」発表申込方法：第27回人工知能学会全国大会（JSAI2013）のWebサイト http://www.ai-gakkai.or.jp/conf/2013/ で近日公開予定の発表受付システムからお申込ください。発表申込時に希望セッションとして「OS-7：ヒューマンコンピュテーションとクラウドソーシング」を選択してください。発表方式：口頭発表のみ発表申込期間：2013年1月21日(月)-1月31日(木) 14:00 原稿提出期間：2013年4月5日(金)-11日(木) 14:00 オーガナイザ：小山聡（北海道大学）oyama(a)ist.hokudai.ac.jp 鹿島久嗣（東京大学）kashima(a)mist.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp 櫻井祐子（九州大学）ysakurai(a)inf.kyushu-u.ac.jp 松原繁夫（京都大学）matsubara(a)i.kyoto-u.ac.jp
