Daniela Lopez de Luise AIDA Short Course: “Learning to Quantify: Inferring Unbiased Estimators of Class Prevalence via Machine Learning”, 9,14,16 & 21 March 2023, 10:00-12:00 CET
March 6th, 2023

Alejandro Moreo, alejandro.moreo@isti.cnr.it
Fabrizio Sebastiani, fabrizio.sebastiani@isti.cnr.it
Host Institution: Italian National Council of Research (CNR), Institute for the Science and Technologies of Information (ISTI)
Content and organization: The goal of the course is to present an introduction to and a survey of the main approaches to Learning to Quantify (LtQ, also known as “quantification”, or “supervised prevalence estimation”). This task consists of training, from a set of data items labelled with class labels, a predictor that estimates, in a set of unlabelled data items, the prevalence values (i.e., relative frequencies) of the classes. Quantification thus stands to classification as aggregate data stand to individual data. While quantification may be trivially accomplished by training a standard classifier, classifying all the data items, counting the data items which have been assigned to each class, and then normalizing the resulting counts, it has been shown that this “classify and count” approach may be severely inaccurate, especially in scenarios characterized by “dataset shift”, i.e., by a substantial difference between the distribution of the items in the training data and the analogous distribution in the unlabelled data. This course will introduce the task of Learning to Quantify and its applications, discuss dataset shift, present supervised methods for training quantifiers, discuss evaluation measures and evaluation protocols for quantification, and assess the relative methods of different quantification methods. A hands-on session will also be offered, using a suite (called QuaPy) of tools for quantification implemented by the proposers using Python and Scikit-Learn.

SCOPE & MOTIVATION:
ACAIN 2023: AI meets Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Science
The ACAIN 2023 symposium and course is an interdisciplinary event featuring leading scientists from AI and Neuroscience, providing a special opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research in the fields of AI, Neuroscience, Neuroscience-Inspired AI, Human-Level AI, and Cognitive Science.
The 3rd Advanced Course and Symposium on Artificial Intelligence & Neuroscience (ACAIN) is a full-immersion four-day Course and Symposium at the The Wordsworth Hotel & SPA in Grasmere – Lake District, England – UK on cutting-edge advances in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The Course provides a stimulating environment for academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders. Participants will also have the chance to present their results with oral talks or posters, and to interact with their colleagues, in a convivial and productive environment.
Two days of keynote talks and oral presentations, the ACAIN Symposium, (September 25-26), will be preceded by lectures of leading scientists, the ACAIN Course, (September 22-24).
Bringing together AI and neuroscience promises to yield benefits for both fields. The future impact and progress in both AI and Neuroscience will strongly depend on continuous synergy, exchange, collaboration and efficient cooperation between the two research communities. These are the goals of the International Course and Symposium – ACAIN 2023, which is aimed both at AI experts with interests in Neuroscience and at neuroscientists with an interest in AI. ACAIN 2023 accepts rigorous research that promotes and fosters multidisciplinary interactions between artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
The Advanced Course is suited for scholars, academics, early career researchers, Post-Docs, PhD students and industry leaders.
The Event (Course and Symposium) will involve a total of 36-40 hours of lectures. Academically, this will be equivalent to 8 ECTS points for the PhD Students and the Master Students attending the Event.

10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023): Third Call for Submissions
March 6th, 2023
Daniela Lopez de Luise |
*** Third Call for Submissions ***
10th European Conference On Service-Oriented And Cloud Computing (ESOCC 2023)
October 24-26, 2023, Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus
(Proceedings to be published in Springer LNCS;
Journal Special Issue with Springer Computing)
AIM AND SCOPE
Nowadays, Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing are the primary approaches to build
large-scale distributed systems and deliver software services to end users. Cloud-native
software is pervading the delivery of enterprise applications, as they are composed of
(micro)services that can be independently developed and deployed by exploiting multiple
heterogeneous technologies. Resulting applications are polyglot service compositions that can
then be shipped in serverful or serverless platforms (e.g., using virtualization technologies).
These characteristics make Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing the natural answers for
fulfilling the industry’s need for flexibly scalable and maintainable enterprise applications, to
be delivered through state-of-the-art methodologies, like DevOps. To further support this,
researchers and practitioners need to create methods, tools and techniques to support
cost-effective and secure development as well as use of dependable devices, platforms,
services and service-oriented applications in the Cloud, now also considering the Cloud-IoT
computing continuum to exploit widespread adoption of smart connected things and the
increasing growth of their computing capabilities.
The European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC) is the premier
conference on advances in the state-of-the-art and practice of Service-Oriented Computing
and Cloud Computing in Europe. ESOCC aims to facilitate the exchange between researchers
and practitioners in the areas of Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing, as well as
to explore the new trends in those areas and foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.
