26th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries

20-23 September 2022

Padua, Italy

Final Call for Short and Prototype Papers

Over the years TPDL was established as an important international forum focused on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. TPDL encompasses the many meanings of the term “digital libraries” embracing the whole spectrum of the LAM community; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. Digital libraries may be viewed as a new form of information institution or as an extension of the services libraries currently provide.

Representatives from academia, cultural heritage institutions, government, industry, research communities, research infrastructures, and others are invited to participate in this annual conference. The conference draws from a broad and multidisciplinary array of research areas including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, social sciences, cultural heritage, digital humanities, and scientific communities.

TPDL historically approached “digital libraries” embracing the field at large also comprehending three key areas of interest that can be synthesized as scholarly communication (e.g., research data, research software, digital experiments, digital libraries), e-science/computationally-intense research (e.g., scientific workflows, Virtual Research Environments, reproducibility) and library, archive, museum and information science (e.g., governance, policies, open access, open science). As digital cultural heritage ties into digital humanities, TPDL aims to include this closely connected field as well.  

TPDL 2022 is hosted by the University of Padua and will take place in Padua, Italy from 20 to 23 September 2022. We aim at going back to a full in-presence event. This choice does not exclude the possibility to follow talks online, but authors of accepted papers are strongly encouraged to come and present in person. We aim at encouraging discussion both formal after a paper presentation and informal during social events and coffee breaks.

2022 The first workshop on Online Learning for Uncertain Data Streams  (OLUD 2022)

within the IEEE WORLD CONGRESS ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (WCCI2022)

Padua, Italy, 18 July, 2022

https://sites.google.com/view/olud/home

    =======================================================================================

OLUD workshop intends to facilitate interdisciplinary discussion on recent advancements in state-of-the-art online learning and pattern recognition methods, dealing with uncertainty,  as well as their use in applied domains.

Nowadays, applications in various domains (computer science, engineering, medicine, economy, etc.) are based on sensor data or depend on data transmission in the cloud. Effective modeling approaches to address such a massive amount of dynamically-changing data in a feasible period of time are of utmost importance. Traditional modeling approaches for static datasets are very often insufficient or ineffective for online data streams due to the fact that fast recursive procedures are required to attend to narrow time and memory constraints. Models must be updated (parametrically and structurally) to many types of changes of the data sources. Moreover, data streams may carry statistical, possibilistic and fuzzy uncertainties that arise in specific technical and contextual domains, which need to be adequately addressed. Finally, explainable models are needed in several domains in which the final users are non-technicians. Thus, new methods to linguistically explain the reasoning behind the outcomes of a model are needed in order to trust and understand predictions. Online Learning from Uncertain Data Streams (OLUD) workshop addresses the uncertainty and online learning, leaving room to several open questions: 

(i) how explainability can be handled in online learning? 

(ii) how uncertainty can improve online learning? 

(iii) how hybrid methods could be combined to exploit their benefits for online learning?

The workshop aims at bringing together theorists and practitioners who apply (online) soft computing methods for sequential (and uncertain) data analysis to exchange and discuss ideas that enrich traditional approaches, e.g., computational methods for static datasets. The workshop gets together experts from different research communities including (but not limited to):

-incremental learning from stream data,

– soft methods for stream data,

– fuzzy statistics, 

– recursive processing of Big data, 

– uncertainty modeling, 

– evolving neural and neuro-fuzzy networks.
