Call for Participation : TREC 2024

February 28th, 2024 Daniela Lopez de Luise
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
TEXT RETRIEVAL CONFERENCE (TREC) 2024
February 2024 – November 2024

Conducted by:
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

The Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) workshop series encourages research in information retrieval and related applications by providing a large test collection, uniform scoring procedures, and a forum for organizations interested in comparing their results. Details about TREC can be found at the TREC web site, http://trec.nist.gov.

You are invited to participate in TREC 2024. TREC 2024 will consist of a set of tasks known as “tracks”. Each track focuses on a particular subproblem or variant of the retrieval task as described below. Organizations may choose to participate in any or all of the tracks. Training and test materials are available from NIST for some tracks; other tracks will provide instructions for dataset download.

Dissemination of TREC work and results other than in the (publicly available) conference proceedings is welcomed, but the conditions of participation specifically preclude any advertising claims based on TREC results. All retrieval results submitted to NIST are published in the Proceedings and are archived on the TREC web site with the submitting organization identified.

TREC participants are added to the TREC Slack instance, and the primary mode of communication in TREC is Slack.  There is a general mailing list (trecXXXX@nist.gov) but this is used for major announcements only.  Some tracks have mailing lists which you should follow if you are interested in those tracks.

Invitation to the special session ExMA @CBMI2024 Reykjavik, Iceland

February 28th, 2024 Daniela Lopez de Luise

The 21st International Conference on Content-based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI 2024) will be held in Reykjavik, Iceland next September 18-20: https://cbmi2024.org/

The conference will bring together leading experts from academia and industry interested in the broad field of content-based multimedia indexing and applications.

The Special Session on “Explainability in Multimedia Analysis” (ExMA), addresses the analysis of multimedia applications, such as person detection/tracking, face recognition or lifelog analysis, which may affect sensitive personal information. This raises both legal issues, e.g. concerning data protection and regulations in the ongoing European AI regulation, as well as ethical issues, related to potential bias in the system or misuse of these technologies. This special session focuses on AI-based explainability technologies in multimedia analysis.

The conference CBMI’2024 is supported by ACM SIGMM and the proceedings will be available at ACM Digital Library.

We would like to invite you to consider contributing a paper to this special session.

CBMI's important dates: https://cbmi2024.org/?page_id=211

Looking forward to see you at CBMI 2024.
With best regards,
Chiara Galdi

Special session organisers: Chiara Galdi, Martin Winter, Romain Giot, Romain Bourqui

Invitation to the second edition of KTH RPL Summer School in Stockholm
  


The  division for Robotics, Perception and Learning (RPL) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is organising the second edition of the RPL Summer School, which is set to take place on 9-14 June 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden.


 


The  summer school hosts a mix of academic and industrial researchers from around the world and aims to provide a forum that promotes new collaborations. Our school focuses on a diverse range of topics within robotics, perception, and learning, encompassing areas  such as Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction, Planning, and Decision Making.


 


The  summer school revolves around brainstorming and discussion sessions amongst the participants, intertwined with keynote speeches and invited talks. The aim of such a programme is for the participants to discover overlaps in their research topics, find novel  ideas, and establish new points of collaboration with other researchers throughout the summer school. We hope that by the end of the event participants will have formed concrete leads for future works. A preliminary summary of the programme is as follows:


 


    

  • 

     6-day event from 9 to 14 of June 2024
    

    • 

  • 

     Keynote speeches and invited talks
    

    • 

  • 

     Panel discussion
    

    • 

  • 

     Student presentations and brainstorming sessions
    

    • 

  • 

     More information on summer-school.rpl.eecs.kth.se 
    

    • 



 


The  summer school will take place at Happy Tammsvik resort, where participants can enjoy nature, spa, outdoor activities, and more. RPL arranges for and covers the following expenses of the summer school participants: accommodation, meals and refreshments from  dinner on 9 June, to midday 14 June, as well as all the materials and activities in the course of the event.


 


We  hope that you find the described programme interesting, in which case we’d like to ask you to fill out the application form found on our website summer-school.rpl.eecs.kth.se latest  by 29 February 2024, 23:59 AoE.


In  the meantime, we would be happy to answer any questions you may have via rpl-events@eecs.kth.se 


Yours  faithfully,


RPL  Summer School 2024 Organising Committee

Neutrosophic Overset (when some neutrosophic component is > 1), 


since for example, an employee working overtime deserves a degree of
 membership > 1, with respect to an employee that only works regular
 full-time and whose degree of membership = 1;
 Neutrosophic Underset (when some neutrosophic component is < 0), since, for example, an employee making more damage than benefit to his company deserves a degree of membership < 0, with respect to an employee that produces benefit to the company and has the degree of membership > 0;
 and Neutrosophic Offset (when some neutrosophic components are off the interval [0, 1], i.e. some neutrosophic component > 1 and some neutrosophic component < 0).
 Then, similarly, the Neutrosophic Logic/Measure/Probability/Statistics etc.
 were extended to respectively Neutrosophic Over-/Under-/Off- Logic /
 Measure / Probability / Statistics etc.

 Generalization of the classical Algebraic Structures to NeutroAlgebraic

as extensions of Partial Algebra, and

axioms are totally false}. 


And, in general, extending any classical Structure, in no matter what field of knowledge, to a NeutroStructure and an AntiStructure:   




NeutroGeometry & AntiGeometry as alternatives and generalizations of the Non-Euclidean Geometries  


While the Non-Euclidean Geometries resulted from the total negation of only one specific axiom (Euclid’s Fifth Postulate), 


the AntiGeometry results from the total negation of any axiom and even of more axioms from any
 geometric axiomatic system (Euclid’s, Hilbert’s, etc.), 


and the NeutroAxiom results from the partial negation of one or more axioms [and no total negation of no axiom] from  any geometric axiomatic
 system.
