international econometric conference in Vietnam — deadline extended to September 15

CALL FOR PAPERS

 

The Fifth International Econometric Conference of Vietnam – ECONVN2022

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, January 10-12, 2022

 

http://hcm-hn.conference-econ-buh-bav-rist.vn/

 

in hybrid mode

 

Main theme: Financial Econometrics: Bayesian Analysis, Quantum Uncertainty,

and Related Topics

 

* The first ECONVN2018 was focused on the main theme “Econometrics for

Financial Applications”; selected papers were published in the Springer

Series in Computational Intelligence, # 760, 2018.

 

* The main theme of the second conference ECONVN2019 was “Beyond Traditional

Probabilistic Methods in Economics”; selected papers were published in the

Springer Series in Computational Intelligence, # 809, 2019.

 

* The main theme of the third conference ECONVN2020 was “Data Science for

Financial Econometrics”; selected papers were published in the Springer

Series in Computational Intelligence, # 898, 2020.

 

* The main theme of the fourth conference ECONVN2021 was “Prediction and

Causality in Econometrics and Related Topics”; selected papers will also appear

in a volume published by Springer.

 

The main theme of the fifth conference is “Financial Econometrics: Bayesian

Analysis, Quantum Uncertainty, and Related Topics”. This theme is motivated

by the need to go beyond traditional frequency-based probabilistic

techniques, the need that comes on several levels. On the level of

macro-economics, this need comes from the fact that in many practical

situations, we do not have anough data to reliably deduce frequencies. So, it

is necessary to supplement the data with expert estimates — and in the

probabilistic framework, this means using Bayesian approach. On the other

hand, on the level of micro-economics, where we study individuals that form

the economics milieu, behavioral economics has shown that individuals'

behavior cannot be accurately described by the traditional probabilistic

models, we need to use more general techniques — and quantum ideas are an

example of such general techniques that have been successfully used to

describe this behavior. So, this conference aims at bringing together

researchers in Econometrics and Finance for an opportunity to present and

discuss theoretical and applied issues related to Bayesian and quantum

approaches, as well as to foster research collaboration. While the theme is

the focus of the conference, all other research in economics, especially in

finance and banking, are welcome.

IEEE IT Pro Special Issue: Information Hygiene and the Fight against the Misinformation Infodemic (Deadline: 24 Sep. 2021)

Deadline approaching: 24 September 2021 
Nowadays, misinformation spreads more rapidly and more broadly than reliable information does, creating an “infodemic.” This has a serious impact globally. Though the main originators may be malicious entities exploiting social media, “fake news,” and conspiracy theory generators, it is ourselves and our own network of people that propagate misinformation and fake content simply by sharing them often without assessing their validity. How can we address this challenging problem facing society by leveraging technology and information hygiene practices? 
This upcoming special issue of IEEE CS IT Professional seeks to present an overview of the problems and showcase recent developments that address them and applications of IT to support humans in the fight against misinformation. The magazine invites articles that present recent advances, perspectives, and use cases. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: 
  • Information trustworthiness, trust, and reputation models 
  • Online misinformation diffusion models and diffusion prediction and prevention 
  • Information hygiene practices and “social-media information” literacy AI and machine-learning approaches to identify and filter misinformation and prevent its propagation 
  • Detection of deepfakes – fake image, audio, or video Crowdsourcing approaches to fighting misinformation 
  • Impacts of misinformation, fake news, and deception Information provenance in social media and the Internet 
  • Digital nudging for information hygiene 
  • The role of regulatory policy in lieu of self-policing 
  • Examination of the economic – for-profit – models that contribute to the info-demic 
  • “Best practices” for managing mis- and disinformation across the globe Role of individuals, industry, regulatory bodies, and government

HILTI-SLAM Challenge: win up to $10,000 and IROS21 workshop keynote invitation

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the most
fundamental capabilities necessary for robots to navigate and perform
tasks. While impressive progress has been made with both geometric-based
methods and learning-based methods, developing a robust and accurate
SLAM method for deploying on a real-world construction site is still a
challenging problem. We introduce the HILTI SLAM Challenge dataset, a
real-life, multi-sensor dataset with accurate ground truth to advance
the state of the art in highly accurate state estimation in challenging
environments. Participants will be ranked by the completeness of their
trajectories and by the achieved accuracy.

Hilti is a multinational company that offers premium products and
services for professionals on construction sites around the globe.
Behind this vast catalogue is a global team comprising of 30.000 team
members from 133 different nationalities located in more than 120 countries.

Participants can win up to $10,000 prize money and a keynote IROS
workshop invitation.

Call for Expressions of Interest: Polar AI Working Group

I am an early-career applied machine learning researcher working with sea ice, remote sensing, and biodiversity informatics. A particular interest of mine is the geophysical, climatic and ecological applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the Arctic and Antarctica. Artificial intelligence has been playing an increasingly influential and useful part in Arctic and Antarctic research in recent years, both in the natural and social sciences aspects, especially with the rapid advances in deep learning and computer vision. Currently, to my knowledge, there does not exist a large-scale organized scientific group centered around Polar AI open to all interested parties. After chatting with a few other researchers with similar interests, I realized that it is crucial to coordinate a community / working group focused on the AI-Polar intersection so that research efforts are streamlined to some extent and there can be many more opportunities for involvement.

If your Arctic/polar research involves AI or you are simply interested in the subject, feel free to fill out this Google form as an Expression of Interest in our “Polar AI Working Group”:
https://forms.gle/AR8XmKMj9J5Extxd7

After receiving the EOIs, I will be setting up a slack channel where we can coordinate the community and set up events and other collaboration opportunities. The community won't be overly formal, and we emphasize that ALL are welcome.

Additionally, feel free to forward this email to colleagues or others that might be interested. We want to create as diverse a group as possible: folks from academia, industry, and government; those interested in the Arctic/Antarctic natural sciences and the social sciences; newcomers to AI and experts; researchers focused on sea ice, glaciers, marine ecology, remote sensing, climate variability, biogeochemical processes, etc.

Best regards,
Thomas Y. Chen
