AI-Enabled Advanced Sensing for Human Action and Activity Recognition (Sensors Journal)
June 9th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue entitled “AI-Enabled Advanced Sensing for Human Action and Activity Recognition” calls for original works revealing the latest research advancements on conventional machine learning and deep learning methods that deeply analyze the structure of human actions and activity patterns from distinct kinds of sensor data or their fusion. These recognition methods need to be based on smart and innovative machine intelligence.
The topics include but are not limited to the following:
• Deep learning for action/activity/anomaly recognition.
• Spatiotemporal features extraction for human sequential patterns analysis.
• Lightweight 2D and 3D convolutional neural networks for human action/activity recognition.
• RGB/depth/skeleton sensors-based action recognition.
• Data prioritization prior to human activity patterns analysis.
• Violence recognition.
• Embedded vision for action/activity recognition.
• Sensors/multi-sensor integrations for activity recognition.
• Activity localization, detection, and context analysis.
• IoT-assisted computationally intelligent methods for activity recognition.
• Cloud/fog computing for action and activity recognition.
• Benchmark datasets for action/activity/anomaly recognition.

SISAP 2020 Special Session: Artificial Intelligence and Similarity
June 9th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise Paper deadline: June 22, 2020.
Below you can find the text describing the special session, and more
information is here: http://sisap.org/2020/specialsessions.html
Recent years have witnessed a strong renovated interest in artificial intelligence. This has been mainly due to the outstanding performance offered by deep learning methods, thanks to the innovative architecture, the availability of huge quantities of training data, and the high computing power provided by GPU architectures.
There are noteworthy relationships between methods of artificial intelligence and similarity search. For example, similarity search is more often executed on features (for instance image features) extracted using artificial intelligence methods, rather than hand-crafted methods. This poses new challenges, given that such features have generally much higher (intrinsic) dimensionality than hand-crafted features. Artificial intelligence has also been used as an instrument for building efficient and effective methods for similarity search. Consider for instance methods of metric learning, learning to index, and learning to hash. In this case, artificial intelligence is used as an alternative to hand-crafted structures and data coding to obtain efficient and effective similarity search algorithms. In addition, consider that what is generally behind many machine learning methods is the possibility of comparing, judging relationships, and estimating similarity among objects or entities in order to classify, recognize, and take decisions.
In this special session, we seek contributions where artificial intelligence and similarity evaluation/searching is either exploited in synergy or supporting one the other. Both mature research papers and position papers are welcome.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- AI-based feature extraction and similarity
- Clustering methods
- Machine learning methods and similarity
- Metric learning
- Learning to index
- Learning to hash
- Submissions must follow the regular paper submission and author guidelines of SISAP 2020 (guidelines)
- Submit your paper through EasyChair (link); please be sure to select “Special Session: Artificial Intelligence and Similarity” in the appropriate field of the submission form.
FedCSIS Call for Papers with Annals Link
June 9th, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise Sofia, Bulgaria, 6-9 September, 2020
https://annals-csis.org/FedCSIS
Strict submission deadline: July 3, 2020, 23:59:59 pm HST (no extensions)
(FedCSIS IEEE conference number: #49059)
Accepted regular papers, (video)presented during the conference, will
appear as a volume of the ACSIS Series (with ISBN, ISSN and DOI numbers)
and will be submitted to the IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore Digital
Library.
***************************** COVID-19 Information
*****************************
Taking into account lack of certainty that it will be possible to organize
the conference on-site (in Sofia) in September, we have decided that there
is no other way but to organize the conference 100% telepresence-based.
This decision makes us very sad, but we believe that this is the best one
we can make. This decision has consequences. First, the new conference fee
has been reduced to 150 euro. Second, since we do not have to deal with
local arrangements, we can use the extra time we have to establish the new
submission deadline. It is now July 3, 2020 for the regular papers. We are
looking forward to e-meet you.
FedCSIS organizers
*******************************************************************************
Please feel free to forward this announcement to your colleagues and
associates who could be interested in it.
KEY FACTS: expected Proceedings: IEEE Digital Library; indexing: Web of
Science (since 2012); 22 Technical Sessions in 5 Tracks; Doctoral
Symposium; in 2020 a video/telepresence-based conference; conference fee
150 euro.
FedCSIS is an annual international conference, this year organized jointly
by the Polish Information Processing Society (PTI), IEEE Poland Section
Computer Society Chapter and Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The mission of
the FedCSIS Conference Series is to provide a highly acclaimed forum in
computer science and information systems. We invite researchers from around
the world to contribute their research results and participate in Technical
Sessions focused on their scientific and professional interests in computer
science and information systems.
As in the previous years, FedCSIS 2020 will host a data mining challenge.
It will be organized on a, recently re-designed, Knowledge Pit platform:
https://knowledgepit.ai/fedcsis20-challenge/
There will also be a special session devoted to this challenge at the
FedCSIS 2020 conference.
Since 2012, Proceedings of the FedCSIS conference are indexed in the Web of
Science, SCOPUS and other indexing services. This already includes
Proceedings of FedCSIS 2018 (we are awaiting the decision for the FedCSIS
2019). Information about FedCSIS indexing / bibliometry / rankings can be
found at: https://www.fedcsis.org/2020/indexation.
