*** Call for Papers *** 
Recent advancements in generative models like GANs, VAEs, and diffusion models have transformed data-driven tasks in computer vision and AI by enabling the creation of highly realistic synthetic data. These models address data scarcity challenges, offering versatile and ethical alternatives for training and testing machine learning algorithms. However, their realism also raises concerns, as synthetic data's indistinguishability from real data poses risks of misuse, manipulation, and potential harm when used unethically. 
Synthetic Realities and Data in Biometric Analysis and Security (SynRDinBAS) is a workshop that aims to explore the diverse applications of synthetic realities and data in biometric analysis, while also addressing critical security issues such as data privacy and ethical concerns of data manipulation. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Novel generative models for synthesis of biometric data,
  • Synthetic realities in immersive media for biometric interaction and analysis,
  • Synthetic realities for behavioral biometric data collection and analysis,
  • Label generation for synthetic data,
  • Information leakage in synthetic data,
  • Data factories for training biometric (detection, landmarking, recognition) models,
  • Synthetic data for data augmentation,
  • Data synthesis for bias mitigation and fairness,
  • Quality assessment for synthetic data,
  • Synthetic data for privacy protection,
  • Novel applications of synthetic data,
  • New synthetic datasets and performance benchmarks,
  • Applications of synthetic data, e.g., deepfakes, virtual try-on, face and gesture editing,
  • Partially or fully synthetically generated attacks on biometric systems for identification and verification,
  • Detection of manipulated and synthetic content,
  • Forensic analysis of synthetic data.

1. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
AIiH aims to provide a prominent platform for researchers and practitioners who are devoted to improving healthcare using modern artificial intelligence. We recognise that healthcare applications present complex and sometimes unique challenges across a wide spectrum, from ethics to technical developments, that generic AI methods are often inadequate. By creating this dedicated forum, we encourage discussions and disseminations of efficient and effective AI solutions and technologies for healthcare, and in turn we hope to influence the research, technology adoption, and decision making in healthcare.
The first edition of the conference was held in the beautiful city of Swansea, with delegates from 20 different countries. The papers submitted to AIiH 2024 were thoroughly reviewed by up to four referees per paper and the full papers were published in the Springer LNCS proceedings. The best paper and best poster prizes were selected and awarded at the conference. Two finalists in the best paper category were invited to submit extended version to the Journal of Big Data Mining and Analytics (IF: 7.7). AIiH 2024 also offered 5 bursaries to students in order to encourage wider participation, particularly where financial support was needed.

RSS 2025 Call For Papers, Demos, and Workshops

Dear Roboticists,


We would like to bring your attention to the submission deadlines for the 21st edition of the “Robotics: Science and Systems” (RSS) conference to be held in Los Angeles, California, on June 21-25, 2025!

In addition to the Call for Papers and Demos previously announced, you can now also find the Call for Workshops posted on our website:

RSS is a single-track conference that connects researchers working on all aspects of robotics including scientific foundations, mechanisms, algorithms, applications, and analysis of robotic systems. The single-track format gives attendees an opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art research in all areas of robotics. The conference will consist of oral and poster presentations of accepted papers and demos, as well as invited talks and panels.

The conference will preserve the RSS tradition of selecting excellent papers via a thorough review process. Paper submissions will be evaluated in terms of their novelty, technical quality, significance, potential impact, and clarity.

As in previous years, the conference will include the category of Demo contributions, similar to conferences in related research areas, resulting in a Demo Track during the main conference.

 

RSS also features a series of vibrant and engaging workshops and tutorials across a diverse range of topics. The RSS workshops and tutorials provide high-quality, topically focused forums for researchers at the forefront of robotics. They will take place at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, USA, on Saturday, June 21 (half-day events) and Wednesday, June 25, 2025 (full-day events). Workshops are intended to supplement the research presented in the main proceedings. Tutorials should support researchers new to the field in quickly gaining the necessary skills and knowledge. We are encouraging events that will promote discussion and interaction among the participants. We will prioritize proposals with high educational value, interest, and relevance.

Highlights of RSS 2025

*******************

  *   RSS 2025 and its accompanying workshops are planned as in-person events.

  *   Demo submissions will be possible for RSS 2025 contributors. These single-blind submissions can range from early research demos (e.g., innovative, proof-of-concept given the state-of-the-art) to mature production-ready systems (e.g., accessible, large-scale industrial systems). Open-source and open-access systems or interactive systems that are accessible by the community are especially encouraged. Demos can relate to hardware or software contributions or their integration. They can also relate to critical system components and useful tools for the community. The deadline and the review process for demos will take place in parallel with the review of regular RSS paper submissions. Detailed submission guidelines for Demos will be available on the conference website and will be similar to last year’s process.

  *   The review process will continue RSS’ strong tradition in emphasizing quality, fairness, and rigor. As in previous iterations of the conference, authors are encouraged to submit “systems” papers and the program committee will be encouraged to evaluate them by gauging their potential impact and usefulness to the community.

  *   The conference includes a rebuttal stage. The submissions will undergo an initial review process and initial decisions will be announced by March 17. The submissions above the threshold will have one week to prepare a short rebuttal to address the reviewers’ and Area Chair’s concerns and provide clarifications. An Area Chair meeting will finalize decisions, taking into account both the initial reviews and the rebuttal, by April 10.

  *   RSS 2025 will require papers to include a “Limitations” section, describing shortcomings and open problems related to the proposed contribution.

  *   RSS 2025 requires authors to submit the title/abstract of their paper(s) by January 17, one week before the full paper submission. This gives extra time to the Program Committee for coordinating the review process.
