Call for Papers — AAIA’21 – 16th International Symposium on Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Applications — FedCSIS’21 Track; IEEE #52320 — deadline May 24, 2021

Track within 2021 Federated Conference on Computer Science and
Intelligence Systems (FedCSIS'21; IEEE #52320)

https://fedcsis.org/2021/aaia

************************* COVID-19 Information *************************

While we have planned the 2021 conference to take place in Sofia,
Bulgaria, slow progress in fighting the global pandemic has forced us to
switch to the fully online mode. Therefore, we plan to organize FedCSIS
2022 in Sofia, and hope that by that time COVID will be over, and we
will be able to meet in person.

FOR PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINES SEE THE BOTTOM OF THIS MESSAGE

This track is a continuation of international AAIA symposiums, which
have been held since 2006. It aims at establishing the synergy between
technical sessions, which encompass wide range of aspects of AI. With
its longest-tradition threads, such as WCO focusing on Computational
Optimization, it is also open to new initiatives categorized with
respect to both, the emerging AI-related methodologies and practical
usage areas. Nowadays, AI is usually perceived as closely related to the
data, therefore, this track’s scope includes the elements of Machine
Learning, Data Quality, Big Data, etc. However, the realm of AI is far
richer and our ultimate goal is to show relationships between all of its
subareas, emphasizing a cross-disciplinary nature of the research
branches such as XAI, HCI, and many others.
AAIA'21 brings together scientists and practitioners to discuss their
latest results and ideas in all areas of Artificial Intelligence. We
hope that successful applications presented at AAIA'21 will be of
interest to researchers who want to know about both theoretical advances
and latest applied developments in AI.

AAIA’21 is technically supported by: International Rough Sets Society.

HealthDL: Deep Learning for Wellbeing Applications Leveraging
Mobile Devices and Edge Computing

=============================

Workshop Chairs:

The availability of affordable wearable Internet of Things (wIoT) and edge devices with embedded sensors has revolutionized intelligent health and wellness applications. Users often use wIoT and smartphones to collect medical data and send them to the cloud for further analysis. Edge-based solutions, where analysis and inference of such data are carried out on edge devices, have been proposed to address users' security and privacy concerns since users' sensitive data is not transferred to untrusted cloud servers for inferencing.  However, resource constraints on the edge devices also pose challenges in using deep learning solutions. Research needs to be conducted to produce efficient system designs, algorithms, and deep learning models that can be deployed in edge devices. Such outcomes will enable better personalization of health-related solutions and enhance users' experience. Furthermore, thanks to the ever-improving voice recognition and synthesis schemes, many wearables and smartphone applications now rely on voice assistants to interact with users. Existing work has shown that such interactions can significantly improve users' experience but incur significant security and privacy issues. This workshop aims to fill the gap between deep learning for intelligent healthcare and power-constrained wIoT and edge and create impactful solutions to help in the well beings of users.

This workshop invites researchers from academia and industry to submit their current research for fostering academic-industry collaboration. The scope of this workshop includes but not limited to the following topics:
• E2E deep learning for smart health applications.
• Deep learning for sensing, analysis and interpretation of wIoT healthcare data
• Resource constrained deep learning schemes for smartphones and wIoT.
• Edge-based deep learning & AI for mental health
• Transfer learning and model compression for smart health applications
• Context-aware ubiquitous healthcare systems based on wearables, edge machine learning
• Emerging applications or sensors for personalized health and fitness
• User and device authentication for smartphones and wIoT
• Cutting edge technology for physiological sensing
