Understanding and Shaping Human-Technology Assemblages in the Age of Generative AI
Generative AI capabilities are rapidly transforming how we perceive, interact with, and relate to machines. This one-day hybrid workshop invites HCI researchers, designers, and practitioners to imaginatively inhabit and explore the possible futures that might emerge from humans combining generative AI capabilities into everyday technologies at a massive scale. Workshop participants will craft stories, visualizations, and prototypes through scenario-based design to investigate these possible futures, resulting in the production of an open-annotated scenario library and a journal or interactions article to disseminate the findings. We aim to gather the DIS community knowledge to explore, understand, and shape the relations this new interaction paradigm is forging between humans, their technologies and the environment in safe, sustainable, enriching, and responsible ways.

Deep Learning School @UniCA, July 1st to 5th, Nice (France)

Our Deep Learning School is back after a 2-year break.

As in previous editions, the Deep Learning School will take place over 5 days on the SophiaTech Campus (Polytech Sophia Antipolis) from July 1 to 5, 2024.

Each day, half a day will be dedicated to a lecture by a world-renowned researcher in the field of Machine Learning/Deep Learning, and the other half day to a 3-hour Lab during which the concepts covered in class will be applied directly.

During these five days, participants will have the opportunity to be trained by world-renowned experts:

– Monday, July 1st: Interpretable AI by Prof. Cynthia Rudin, Duke University (USA)
– Tuesday, July 2nd: NLP & Frugal AI by Prof. Emma Strubell, Carnegie Mellon University (USA)
– Wednesday, July 3rd: Responsible and Fairness AI by Prof. Golnoosh Farnadi, Université McGill et Mila (Canada)
– Thursday, July 4th: IA and Physics/simulation by Prof. Amir Barati Farimani, Carnegie Mellon University (USA)
– Friday, July 5th: Foundation Models – From images to language and vice versa, by Prof. Matthieu Cord, Sorbonne Université, scientific director of Valeo AI.

You can find all the information about these specialists and their lecture on our website : https://3ia.univ-cotedazur.eu/deep-learning-school/homepage

The ACM 4th International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2024)  is a premier international forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of data and technology for addressing Social Good and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We welcome contributions that delve into the nexus of technology, data science, and social well-being, exploring how these domains interconnect and impact society.

 

Alongside the main track, the conference includes the Work-in-Progress and PhD Track. The Work-in-Progress Track is an excellent opportunity for practitioners and researchers to present early-stage work, offering a platform for sharing innovative ideas, receiving feedback, and fostering discussions and collaborations. The PhD Track is designed for PhD students at different stages of their research. It provides a valuable opportunity for these students to present and refine their research under the guidance of experienced researchers. 

Additionally, the program will be enriched with several Special Tracks. The forthcoming Call for Papers will outline these tracks' details and specific topics.
