[CALL FOR PAPERS] SIGIR-AP 2024
The 2nd International ACM SIGIR Conference on Information Retrieval in the Asia Pacific
December 9-12, 2024
Tokyo, Japan
https://www.sigir-ap.org/sigir-ap-2024/
************************
The annual SIGIR-AP conference is an annual ACM-sponsored international forum that promotes and disseminates information retrieval research and development within the Asia-Pacific region defined as all of Asia, Australasia, and the islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The scope of SIGIR-AP is the same as that of SIGIR. We welcome high-quality papers with contributions related to information retrieval. There are two types of SIGIR-AP submissions: Regular submissions and SIGIR-Revise and-Resubmit submissions.
Regular Submissions:
Regular submissions are new, original contributions that have not been accepted elsewhere or simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. We also welcome submissions of Resource and Reproducibility papers.
SIGIR-Revise-and-Resubmit (SIGIR-RR) Submissions:
SIGIR-RR submissions are for revised manuscripts of either full or short papers that were submitted to but not accepted by the SIGIR 2024 conference (this option is not available for other SIGIR paper tracks, e.g., perspectives, resources, or reproducibility). Authors can use this option to address the issues raised in the SIGIR 2024 reviews and revise the paper accordingly. Check the website for more details.
************ Submission Guidelines ************
Submissions of papers must be at least 2 pages and at most 9 pages (including figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any content except references) in length, with unlimited pages for references. While we do not set separate submission tracks for full and short papers, the assessment of each submission will be based on whether the paper length is commensurate with its contribution
************ Dual Submission Policy ************
Submissions must present original work that is not under review at any other peer reviewed conferences/journals. An exception is made for CIKM 2024, as its notification deadline is one week after the SIGIR-AP submission deadline. Authors of submissions that are under review at CIKM2024 must: (1) inform SIGIR-AP PC chairs about their dual submission by sending an email to sigir-ap2024pc(a)list.waseda.jp<mailto:sigir-ap2024pc@list.waseda.jp> with subject: “SIGIR-AP CIKM Dual submission: <SIGIR-AP Submission ID>“, (2) withdraw the submission from SIGIR-AP 2024 upon receiving acceptance notification of CIKM 2024.
************ Anonymity and Pre-Print/arXiv Policy ************
The review process is double-anonymized. Authors must take all reasonable steps to preserve the anonymity of their submissions. The submissions must not include any author information. The citations and discussions of authors’ prior work should be anonymized or written in the third person form. It is acceptable to explicitly refer to companies or organizations that provided datasets, hosted experiments, or deployed solutions if it does not necessarily imply the authors are affiliated with these mentioned organizations. The authors can submit to SIGIR-AP 2024 papers that have been posted to pre-print/archival platforms (e.g. arXiv), or will be posted in the future, after submission. In such cases, the authors should take reasonable actions to make the submission non-discoverable; e.g., by changing the title of the submission. SIGIR-AP follows the SIGIR 2024 Pre-Print/arXiv Policy, and breaking anonymity or pre-print/arXiv policy puts the submission at risk of being desk rejected.
************ Key Dates ************
Abstracts due: July 1st, 2024
Paper due: July 7th, 2024
Notification: September 23rd, 2024
Time zone: Anywhere On Earth (AOE)

xSIG 2024 Call for Posters
========================================
https://xsig.ipsj.or.jp/2024/
Call for Posters
--------------------
xSIG 2024 solicits poster presentations from a wide range (cross-SIG)
fields of all sponsors and co-sponsors of xSIG.
- research of any stage, such as concept and problem presentation
- research presented at xSIG 2024 and SWoPP 2024 with an oral presentation.
- previously published research in other opportunities.
- introduction of research and development project.
We are planning to give poster awards for outstanding poster
presentations to students. (Please note that authors already awarded
for oral presentation papers of xSIG 2024 are ineligible for the
poster awards) We hope various researchers, not limited to students
and young researchers, have presentations here. xSIG 2024 encourages
authors of oral presentations of xSIG 2024 and SWoPP 2024 to introduce
their research again in the poster session for in-depth discussions.
If the number of submissions exceeds the available capacity, we might
decline some posters of oral presentation papers at xSIG and SWoPP in
order to provide presentation opportunities for more people. Also, we
might decline out-of-scope posters from the xSIG interests.
The poster session will be provided only on-site at the xSIG/SWoPP venue.
Submission
--------------------
You have to enter the author information, title, and abstract of your
poster. The abstract should be around 200-400 characters (in Japanese)
or 100-200 words (in English). The title and author(s) will be listed
on the xSIG website.

日本データベース学会の皆様
いつもお世話になっております。東工大の曹と申します。
来週の木曜日（6月6日）に、サイモンフレーザー大学（SFU）のケイ・ワン（Ke Wang）教授による東工大で講演が行われます。
ケイ・ワン教授はデータマイニング分野の著名な研究者で、特にプライバシーを保護するデータマイニングに関する専門書で知られています。
今回の東京工業大学での講演テーマはフェデレーテッドラーニングに関連しています。
Zoomと東工大の現地会場でハイブリッド形式で開催しますので、皆様ぜひ積極的にご参加ください。
Prof. Ke Wang from Simon Fraser University (SFU) will give a lecture next
Thursday (June 6, 13:00-14:00).
Prof. Ke Wang is a well-known researcher in the field of data mining and is
renowned for his technical book on privacy-preserving data publishing. The
topic of his talk at Tokyo Tech is related to Federated Learning.
The talk will be given hybrid via Zoom and on-site, so everyone is
encouraged to attend.

*Talk Title: *
Differentially Private Machine Learning for Decentralized and Time-evolving
Data
*Abstract:*
Decentralized machine learning focuses on learning from data distributed at
multiple related sites, where due to privacy or regulatory concerns, data
pooling is not an option.
In contrast to the real-world requirements, current methods in
decentralized machine learning, notably federated learning, force
participating sites into tight collaboration where the sites are forced
into symmetric sharing and shared decision making. That is, all sites have
to contribute their data to benefit from the learning process, and have to
share the same model types, architectures, training methodologies, feature
and sample spaces, etc. The issues are compounded in the case of
privacy-preservation and time-evolving data streams, where the sites have
to agree on a common, one-size-fits-all privacy budget, and the continuous
model updates required for handling time-evolving data streams erode the
privacy budget, deteriorating utility. Forced tight collaboration creates
barriers to participation where participating sites want to benefit from
other sites’ data but do not wish to share their own information or change
the existing data analysis practices.
In this work, we propose an end-to-end solution for differentially private
decentralized learning. Where our first contribution is PubSub-ML, a
differentially private, decentralized learning framework under loose
collaboration for static data. Proposed as an alternative to federated
learning, PubSub-ML allows the participating sites to maintain autonomy on
all decisions related to their learning processes. Our second contribution
is DP-Ensemble, a differentially private, dynamic model integration
approach for a single site that allows unlimited model updates for
time-evolving data streams on a fixed privacy budget. Our third
contribution extends PubSub-ML to data streams using DP-Ensemble, allowing
differentially private, decentralized modeling of data streams under loose
collaboration and a fixed privacy budget. All contributions are supported
by extensive empirical evaluation.
