GRADES-NDA 2023
6th Joint Workshop on Graph Data Management Experiences & Systems
(GRADES) and Network Data Analytics (NDA)
In conjunction with SIGMOD/PODS 2023.
Sunday June 18, Seattle, WA, USA.
Workshop Website:
https://gradesnda.github.io/
Deadlines: March 15, 2023 (Abstracts), March 22, 2023 (Papers)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** FOCUS AND GOALS ***
The GRADES-NDA workshop focuses on the application areas, usage
scenarios and open challenges in managing large-scale graph-shaped data.
The workshop is a forum for exchanging ideas and methods for mining,
querying and learning with real-world network data, developing new
common understandings of the problems at hand, sharing of data sets and
benchmarks where applicable, and leveraging existing knowledge from
different disciplines. Additionally, considering specific techniques
(e.g., algorithms, data/index structures) in the context of the systems
that implement them, rather than describing them in isolation,
GRADES-NDA aims to present technical contributions inside graph, RDF and
other data management systems on graphs of a large size (many millions
of nodes and beyond).
The goal of GRADES-NDA is to bring together researchers from academia,
industry, and government, to create a forum for discussing recent
advances in (large-scale) graph data management and analytics systems,
as well as propose and discuss novel methods and techniques towards
addressing domain specific challenges, or handling noise in real-world
graphs.
The workshop will be of interest to researchers in the development of
novel data-management applications and systems for large-scale graph
analytics. More specifically, the intended audience are, but not limited
to, academic and industrial computer scientists interested in databases
and data mining, machine learning, data streaming, graph theory and
algorithms. Along with novel research work, we encourage submissions
with demonstrations and case studies from real-life experiences in
various domains such as Social Networks, Biological Network Data,
Marketing and Media, Business Data Analysis, Healthcare Data,
Cybersecurity etc.
*** WORKSHOP TOPICS ***
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following.
* Graph query languages, visualization techniques and querying
interfaces, and their effective realization
* Graph platform and parallel platforms, e.g., Flink/Gelly, Titan,
SPARK/GraphX, GraphLab/PowerGraph, Giraph, GraphChi etc.
* Network data representation, storage, indexing and querying methods
* Experiences or techniques for graph specific operations such as
traversals or inference/reasoning in the context of large data sets and
on the systems that implement those operations
* RDF data management and analytics
* Dynamic Graphs: managing graph updates; graph stream analytics;
analyzing evolution and detection of community structures in real-world
evolving graphs
* Mining and machine learning on heterogeneous networks -- knowledge
graphs etc.

* Analytics on dirty, noisy, or uncertain graphs
* Spatial and temporal graph analytics

and experiences with applying data management technologies in such
situations
* Vision and systems papers describing potential or real applications
and benefits of graph management

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 31 Jan 2023
In recent years, as seen in smart speakers such as Google Home and
Amazon Alexa, there has been remarkable progress in spoken dialogue
systems technology to converse with users with human-like utterances.
In the future, such dialogue systems are expected to support our daily
activities in various ways. However, dialogue in daily activities is
more complex than that with smart speakers; even with current spoken
dialogue technology, it is still difficult to maintain a successful
dialogue in various situations. For example, in customer service
through dialogue, it is necessary for operators to respond
appropriately to the different ways of speaking and requests of
various customers. In such cases, we humans can switch the speaking
manner depending on the type of customer, and we can successfully
perform the dialogue by not only using our voice but also our gaze and
facial expressions.
This type of human-like interaction is far from possible with the
existing spoken dialogue systems. Humanoid robots have the possibility
to realize such an interaction, because they can recognize not only
the user's voice but also facial expressions and gestures using
various sensors, and can express themselves in various ways such as
gestures and facial expressions using their bodies. Their many means
of expressions have the potential to successfully continue dialogue in
a manner different from conventional dialogue systems.
The combination of such robots and dialogue systems can greatly expand
the possibilities of dialogue systems, while at the same time,
providing a variety of new challenges. Various research and
development efforts are currently underway to address these new
challenges, including "dialogue robot competition" at IROS2022.
In this special issue, we invite a wide range of papers on multimodal
dialogue systems and dialogue robots, their applications, and
fundamental research. Prospective contributed papers are invited to
cover, but are not limited to, the following topics on multimodal
dialogue systems and robots:
*Spoken dialogue processing
*Multimodal processing
*Speech recognition
*Text-to-speech
*Emotion recognition
*Motion generation
*Facial expression generation
*System architecture
*Natural language processing
*Knowledge representation
*Benchmarking
*Evaluation method
*Ethics
*Dialogue systems and robots for competition
Submission:

Announcement of the Symposium on Space Science Informatics in 2022
The Symposium on Space Science Informatics in 2022 will be held as follows;
Date: February 17, 2023
Time: 10:00-18:00(planned)
Place: Hybrid(Online/face to face, Subject to change depending on circumstances.)
Language: basically Japanese
Details: http://www.isas.jaxa.jp/researchers/symposium/infoana/ (in Japanese)
Application for presentation:
Deadline: February 3, 2023
Web site: https://www.qs-conductor.com/JAXA_CIS/login.aspx (in Japanese)
Contact: plainsympo AT c-soda.isas.jaxa.jp
Purpose of the symposium:
In recent years, in various fields of space science, it has become possible to acquire a vast amount of data compared to before due to the increase in the size of observation devices and computers. For that reason, how to efficiently process and analyze large-scale data and extract necessary information is becoming a new issue in producing excellent scientific results from observations. With the spread of digital technology, space science data has become widely used in fields other than research. On the other hand, in the field of information technology, the development of visualization technology such as VR, AR and MR is remarkable and not only new research methods but also lifestyles are being created. The development of data science is also remarkable and, in addition to data mining technology for large-scale data, new data processing technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence, and attempts to create knowledge are being made energetically.
In view of this situation, JAXA/ISAS holds the symposium every year as a place to present interdisciplinary results related to science and technology as follows: processing, analysis, and utilization of space science data, database and system development/operation technology, simulation and data visualization, etc. It should be a place for valuable and active information exchange between researchers and engineers in the peripheral fields who usually have few opportunities to interact.
We look forward to your participation.
