* September 28, 2021 – Workshop Talks Call for Extended Abstract
====================================================================
We invite submissions of 3 pages max, excluding references. Please submit via CMT (https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SUUE2021). The submission deadline is June 17th 2021 23:59 (CEST). We allow presenting previously published work. More information on the submission process can be found on the workshop website (https://unstructured-scene-understanding.com/submission.html).
Overview
====================================================================
The vast majority of research in scene understanding is applied in urban and structured environments. Unfortunately, these methods often fail when used in unstructured environments with challenging lighting conditions and many natural structures in the scene.
These conditions require different model assumptions and robust algorithms.
The main objective of this workshop is to create a platform for researchers, from both academia and industry, to explore fundamental research and applications on scene understanding in unstructured environments. It aims to foster discussion and exchanges, ideally creating a long-term flourishing communication channel in the community.
The workshop will take place on September 28, 2021 as part of the DAGM German Conference on Pattern Recognition (GCPR) in Bonn, Germany. The conference will either be organized as a hybrid or virtual conference. We therefore invite the international research community to participate. The workshop also includes the Outdoor Semantic Segmentation Challenge on the novel TAS500 dataset of fine-grained annotations of outdoor driving scenes. Train and benchmark your semantic segmentation algorithms on these real world outdoor driving scenes. The challenge deadline is on July 31, 2021. The best submissions will be invited to present their solution as part of the workshop on September 28, 2021.
Topics
====================================================================
Topics include the following but not limited to
* Scene Understanding in Unstructured Environments
* Multimodal Learning
* Transfer Learning
* Applications in Field Robotics
Extended list is available on the workshop website (https://unstructured-scene-understanding.com/submission.html).
Workshop Chairs

Prof. Abhinav Valada (University of Freiburg)
Jens Behley (University of Bonn)
Nina Heide (Fraunhofer IOSB)
Peter Mortimer (Bundeswehr University Munich)

Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation during Pandemics @ ACM GoodIT2021
April 20th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise during Pandemics In conjunction with the ACM International Conference
on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2021)
The GoodIT conference is sponsored by ACM SIGCAS, the Association for
Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computers & Society.
The conference focuses on the application of IT technologies to social
good.
The Special Track on AI for Tackling Dis/Misinformation during
Pandemics focuses on new data technologies based on artificial
intelligence, data governance, machine learning, natural language
processing, and social network analysis to aid experts in analyzing
large volumes of social media data in order to detect fake news,
misinformation, and disinformation. A number of open challenges need
more investigation from the research community, such as recent trends
in composing information disorder by combining false and real content,
the mechanisms that drive fake content diffusion during pandemics, how
to differentiate fake content from personal viewpoints, why people
tend to believe fake content and make decisions based on it during
pandemics, and what are the different motivations behind the
dissemination of fake content. Fact-checking and claim verification
are two important strategies that are worth incorporating in the
automated tackling and curtailment of fake content during and after
pandemics.
