AFRICOMM 2020 will take place online due to safety concerns and travel restrictions caused by COVID-19. Although we will miss having everyone meet and connect in person, we feel strongly that knowledge exchange must continue, if not more so. That is why we have equipped our online conferences with live viewing with chat, virtual Q&A, and a multitude of other measures to provide you with a great experience. All of this while making the registration for co-authors and non-authors completely free to give you the biggest possible audience. You can learn more about EAI’s online conferences here.

            AI-Enabled Advanced Sensing for Human Action and Activity Recognition (Sensors Journal)

            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.

            Artificial Intelligence and Similarity

            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.

            Call for Papers

            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
            Author Instructions
            • 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.
