日本データベース学会のみなさま （重複して受け取られた場合はご容赦ください） 千葉商科大学の橋本と申します。 本年10月23日〜25日まで、盛岡で開催される iCAST 2019 の Special Session "Awareness Technology for Economic and Social Data Analysis" CFPを送付させていただきます。 本セッションの目的は，機械学習の手法で経済データ及び社会科学などのデータを分析する研究者の ディスカッションの場を作りたい，ということです。機械学習による経済・社会データの分析手法に ついてもっと議論したい，と感じていらっしゃる研究者に是非とも参集頂きたいと思っております。 ご投稿を検討いただければと思います。 −−− Session Title: Awareness Technology for Economic and Social Data Analysis Organizers: Prof. Yukari Shirota (Gakushuin University) yukari.shirota@gakushuin.ac.jp <mailto:yukari.shirota@gakushuin.ac.jp> Prof. Takako Hashimoto (Chiba University of Commerce) takako@cuc.ac.jp Prof. Basabi Chakraborty (Iwate Prefectural University) basabi@iwate-pu.ac.jp Abstract: In the field of economic, social and environmental data analysis, machine learning technologies have been more and more used. The analysis target include stock process, GDP, exchange rate, Gini index, TFR (total fertility rate), working population, and profit of company. However, in some conferences concerning economics, there is not enough discussions on the data analysis technologies. Especially concerning the latest machine learning analysis methods, there is quite few comments because the audience have not enough knowledge on the machine learning technologies. The organizer will propose the special session so that we can discuss the data analysis method and the used data. We will exchange advices and comments using concrete library names such as sklearn and the source data such as World Bank. The special session will contribute a lot to economic data analysts, because they will be able to know other researcher methodologies. Therefore, the papers are limited to be ones that use machine learning methods including PCA(Principal Component Analysis) and SVD(Singular Value Decomposition) other than DNN and tree-based models and others. The target data must be no image data, because the image analysis is out of this theme. The main target is economics data analysis. However other non-image data analysis is welcome. Topics of Interests include but are not limited to: (1) Classification or regression of economics/social/environmental data (2) Social media data analysis by machine learning methods (3) Financial prediction/analysis by machine learning methods (4) Sustainable Development Goals related data analysis by machine learning methods (5) Visualization of those data analyses Venue: AIINA 7th, & 8th.
