2nd International Workshop on Behavior analysis and Recognition for knowledge Discovery (BiRD 2023)
In conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2023)
March 13-17, 2023 in Atlanta, USA
https://bio-navigation.jp/bird2023/
----------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------------------
BiRD workshop aims to provide a forum for presenting and discussing research on the recognition and understanding of behavior data collected from various sources, such as humans, animals, and automobiles, towards scientific discovery (e.g., ecology and medical science) and/or actual business applications (e.g., industry, sports, healthcare, and stockbreeding).
In addition, we plan to invite biologists and neuroscientists who have collected and analyzed behavior data of various animals. While the biologists and neuroscientists have massive amounts of behavior data, they have limited opportunities to apply state-of-the-art behavior analysis techniques to their data. This workshop provides a good opportunity of collaboration between biologists and information scientists.
This workshop solicits papers on the recognition and understanding of behavior data collected from various sources, such as humans, animals, and automobiles, towards scientific discovery (e.g., ecology and medical science) and/or actual business applications (e.g., industry, sports, healthcare, and stockbreeding). Because the organizers of this workshop are core members of an interdisciplinary project of engineer, computer science, biology, and neuroscience on behavior understanding (https://bio-navigation.jp/en/) and one of the organizers is a biologist specialized in seabirds, we solicit poster papers that mainly focus on real data and discuss experience/limitations of conventional analysis methods applied to the data. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Data mining methods for behavior/activity data
- Trajectory mining
- Modeling behavior/activity
- Behavior/activity data collection for scientific discovery and/or actual business
- Data preparation and labeling for scientific discovery and/or actual business
- Knowledge extraction from massive amounts of behavior/activity data
- Behavior/activity monitoring and recognition systems for scientific discovery and/or actual business
- Applications of activity recognition and/or indoor/outdoor localization
- State-of-the-art indoor/outdoor localization techniques
- State-of-the-art behavior/activity recognition and understanding techniques
- Visualization of behavior/activity data for knowledge discovery
- Extension of those to multi-agent/collective motion setting
-----------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
-----------------------------
- Workshop paper submissions: November 14, 2022
- Paper notifications: January 5, 2023
- Camera ready: January 31, 2023
------------------
SUBMISSION
------------------
Authors are invited to submit full papers that are unpublished and not under review elsewhere. In addition, we solicit poster papers that mainly focus on real data and discuss experience/limitations of conventional analysis methods applied to the data.

Multisource Information Fusion in a Complex and Uncertain Environment
のワークショップを企画しました.
投稿締切は10月20日,会議は12月16−18日に中国桂林開催です.
http://www.icisct.org/workshop/
のWorkshop15です.
Title: Multisource Information Fusion in a Complex and Uncertain Environment
Summary:
With the development of science and technology, more and more sensors are
used to detect data to affect all aspects of people's lives. Therefore, the
detection accuracy of the sensor has also been improved again and again, but
the comprehensive processing of the detection results of multiple sensors is
not enough, which will also cause errors in comprehensive research and
judgment. The research on multi-source information fusion has made
considerable progress in recent years, not only in the field of real
numbers, but also in multi-source information fusion and even quantum
information processing in the field of complex numbers.
Keywords:
Evidence theory, Complex evidence theory, Uncertain information modeling and
decision-making, Quantum information processing, Sensor data fusion

CALL FOR NTCIR-17 ADDITIONAL TASK PROPOSALS
Task Proposals Due: October 31, 2022 (AoE)
Submission Link:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ntcir17taskproposal
*********************************************
NTCIR (NII Testbeds and Community for Information access Research) is a
series of
evaluation conferences that mainly focus on information access with East
Asian languages
and English. The first NTCIR conference (NTCIR-1) took place in
August/September 1999,
and the latest NTCIR-16 conference took place in June 2022. Research
teams from all
over the world participate in one or more NTCIR tasks to advance the
state of
the art and to learn from one another's experiences.
At the NTCIR-17, 6 tasks have already been accepted, and the kickoff
meeting has been
held on September 28, 2022. Among the 6 tasks, three are core tasks
(FinArg-1,
MedNLP-SC, and QA Lab-PoliInfo-4), and 3 are pilot tasks (FairWeb-1,
Transfer,
and UFO). Since there are still many diverse problems emerging in
information access
research, we would like to call for additional task proposals.
Additional task proposals will be reviewed by the NTCIR-17 Program
Committee,
following the schedule below:
* IMPORTANT DATES for Additional Task Proposals:
October 31 (AoE), 2022 Task Proposal Submission Due
December 5, 2022 Acceptance Notification of Additional Task Proposals
* NTCIR-17 TENTATIVE SCHEDULE:
January 2023: Dataset Release*
January-June 2023: Dry Run*
March 2023-July 2023: Formal Run*
August 1, 2023: Evaluation Result Release
August 1, 2023: Draft Task Overview Paper Release
September 1, 2023: Draft Participant Paper Submission Due
November 1, 2023: All Camera-ready Paper Submission Due
December 2023: NTCIR-17 Conference in NII, Tokyo, Japan
(* indicates that the schedule can be different for different tasks)
Please submit your task proposal to
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ntcir17taskproposal
by October 31, 2022 (AoE).
If you have any questions regarding proposing additional tasks to NTCIR-17,
please feel free to contact Program Co-Chairs (ntc-17(a)nii.ac.jp).
* WHO SHOULD SUBMIT NTCIR-17 TASK PROPOSALS?
To organize an evaluation task is to identify important research
problems, tackle
them strategically by collaborating with other researchers (both
co-organizers and
participants), build the necessary evaluation framework to advance the
state of the
art, and make an impact on the research community and to the future.
We encourage applicants to emphasize real-world applications of the
proposed task
by using real-world data, real tasks, and addressing real-world
problems, and address
a challenge in information access technology evaluation such as a large
number of
assessments required for evaluation, privacy-preserving use of
proprietary data,
and live test with real users.
* PROPOSAL TYPES:
We will accept two types of task proposals:
- Proposal of a Core task:
This is for fostering research on a particular information access
problem by
providing researchers with a common ground for evaluation. New test
collections and
evaluation methods may be developed through the collaboration between
task organizers(proposers)
and task participants. At NTCIR-16, the core tasks are Data Search 2,
DialEval-2, FinNum-3, QA Lab-PoliInfo-3, WWW-4, and Lifelog-4 (Details
can be found at
http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-16/tasks.html).
- Proposal of a Pilot task:
This is recommended for organizers who proposed to focus on a novel
information
access problem and there are uncertainties either in task designing or
organization.
It may focus on a sub-problem of an information access problem and may
attract a
smaller group of participating teams than core tasks. However, it may
grow into
a core challenging task in the next round of NTCIR. At NTCIR-16, the
pilot tasks
are RCIR, Real-MedNLP, SS, and ULTRE (Details can be found at
http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-16/tasks.html).
Organizers are expected to run their tasks mainly with their own funding
and to make
the task as self-sustaining as possible. A part of the fund can be
supported by NTCIR,
which is called "seed funding". It is usually used for some limited
purposes such as
hiring relevance assessors. The amount of seed funding allocated to each
task varies
depending on requirements and the total number of accepted tasks.
Typical cases would
be around 1M JPY for a core task and around 0.5M JPY for a pilot task
(note that the
amount is subject to change).
* TASK PROPOSAL FORMAT:
The proposal should not exceed six pages in A4 single-column format. The
first five
pages should contain the main part and appendix, and the last page
should contain only
a description of the data to be used in the task. Please describe the
data in as much
detail as possible so that we can help your data release process after
the proposal is
accepted. In the past NTCIRs, it took much time to create memorandums
for data release,
which sometimes slowed down the task organization.

There are mainly
three choices: distributed by the data provider, distributed by
organizers, and
distributed by NII.)
- Legal / Ethical issues
(If the data can cause legal or ethical problems, please describe how
you propose to
address them. e.g. some medical data may need approval from an ethical
committee. e.g.
some Web data may need filtering for excluding discriminative messages.)
