SCOPE

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Third Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems held in conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2021) Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from September the 27th to October the 1st, 2021.

In the last few years, a renewed interest of the research community on conversational recommender systems (CRSs) is emerging. This is probably due to the great diffusion of Digital Assistants (DAs) such as Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant that are revolutionizing the way users interact with machines. DAs allow users to execute a wide range of actions through an interaction mostly based on natural language messages.… read more. “Call: Third Workshop on Knowledge-aware and Conversational Recommender Systems (KaRS 2021)”

EvoMUSART 2022 – 11th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design
Part of the evo* event
20-22 April 2022
Venue: Somewhere On Earth! [according to WikiCFP]
www.evostar.org/2022/evomusart/

Submission deadline: 1 November 2021

The 11th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design (EvoMUSART) 2022 is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together researchers who are working on the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques in creative and artist fields.

There is a growing interest in the application of Artificial Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation, Swarm Intelligence, Cellular Automata, Alife, and other Artificial Intelligence techniques in fields such as: visual art and music generation, analysis, and interpretation; sound synthesis; architecture; video; poetry; design; and other creative tasks. Therefore, the use of Artificial Intelligence in such creative domains became a significant and exciting area of research.… read more. “Call: EvoMUSART 2022 – 11th International Conference on AI in Music, Sound, Art and Design”

Australasian Simulation Congress (ASC) 2021
November 9th – 11th, 2021
University of Technology Sydney and Online
http://www.simulationcongress.com/about/

Abstract submission deadline: July 30, 2021 (extended)

The Simulation Australasia Board and 2021 Australasian Simulation Congress Organising Committee warmly invite you to join us at the 2021 Australasian Simulation Congress (ASC 2021).

This year’s event will be hybrid, hosted both online and at the University of Technology Sydney from November 9th to 11th, 2021. ASC will be on line from 9th to 10th November with a live event hosted at UTS, Sydney on 11th November.

We will be exploring the theme of “Simulation – Navigating Uncertain Futures”. The 2021 Australasian Simulation Congress will once again bring together the SimHealth, SimTecT and Serious Games streams, along with opportunities for a number of joint sessions of mutual interest. The theme this year reflects that we live in uncertain times marked by massive global changes, rapidly moving us into unprecedented and unknown directions.… read more. “Call: 2021 Australasian Simulation Congress (ASC)”

ANIMATAS Symposium on ‘Human-Machine Interaction. Perception, Social Learning, Personalised Adaptation in Educational Settings’
October 12-14, 2021
Virtual event

Symposium Website: https://sites.google.com/view/animatas-symposium
ANIMATAS Website: https://www.animatas.eu

Submission Deadline: 16th of August 2021

OVERVIEW:

As emerging technologies continue to grow in complexity and availability, the question of how to successfully integrate such technologies into our society is attracting growing research interest. Social robots, virtual agents, and (explainable) artificial intelligence models are increasingly being implemented in healthcare systems, in entertainment or retail, or in educational settings as a means to reduce burden on human workers and maximise user experience.

Education is a particularly relevant context for the implementation of advanced robotic, virtual, or AI systems. Teachers around the world suffer from overcrowded classrooms, limited resources, and diverse student needs. These challenges are being especially highlighted in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.… read more. “Call: ANIMATAS Symposium on “Human-Machine Interaction.

Call for Participants

“Life and Death Moral Dilemmas in VR” Study

The Virginia Philosophy Reality Lab (VPRL) at Old Dominion University is asking for participants in a research study on moral decision-making in virtual reality settings. Prospective participants must be 18+ years of age and have access to an Oculus headset. Participants will fill out a brief informed consent form and questionnaire before downloading the virtual reality experience that tests responses to virtual life-and-death scenarios.

To participate in the study, please visit our website and follow the instructions:
http://www.vprl.org/VPRL_Life_Death_Dilemmas.html

Please consider sharing this link with non-philosopher students and colleagues, as we would like to get as diverse of a sample as possible. Data collected from responses to these scenarios will inform new behavioral and social models of moral decision making. These contributions can also help improve decision making modeling for diverse applications from self-driving cars to robotics and AI networks.… read more. “Call: “Life and Death Moral Dilemmas in VR” Study”
