    Call for Special Sessions & Workshops

    The ICCCI 2021 invites proposals for Workshops & Special Sessions to be held during the conference.

    They intend to provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to offer a forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers. A Special Session or Workshop will consist of a group of papers in a sub-discipline of Intelligent Information and Database Systems related to the main topics of ICCCI 2021.

    Please send the Workshops & Special Session proposals to Bogdan Trawinski (bogdan.trawinski@pwr.edu.pl) and Elias Pimenidis (elias.pimenidis@uwe.ac.uk) with the following information:

    • Title & acronym of the special session & workshop
    • Brief profiles of special session & workshop organizers
    • General description of the special session & workshop scope
    • List of topics
    • Proposed Session Program Committee (to be invited)

    The papers will be required to meet the same standards as ICCCI 2021 papers and will be published in the conference proceedings, in a bound volume by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series.

    All the Special Sessions and Doctoral Track will be centralized as tracks in the same conference submission and reviewing system as the regular papers.

    The organizers will be responsible for the advertisement and promotion of the special session and the conference including the Special Session & Workshop webpage preparation.

    The management of papers review will be achieved by Special Session & Workshop Committees, using the Conference System (a separate EasyChair track will be provided for each Special Session & Workshop).

    The organizers are responsible for managing the review process. All the reviews should be submitted through the ICCCI conference system. Each paper should obtain at least two reviews.

    The final decision as for the acceptance will be taken by the ICCCI 2021 Program Committee based on recommendations provided by Special Session & Workshop organizers.

    Title
    From Hyper-parametric towards Prototype-based Deep Learning

    Abstract
    Machine Learning (ML) and AI justifiably attract the attention and interest not only of the wider scientific community and industry, but also society and policy makers. However, even the most powerful (in terms of accuracy) algorithms such as deep learning (DL) can give a wrong output, which may be fatal. Due to the hyper-parametric, cumbersome and opaque model used by DL, some authors started to talk about a dystopian “black box” society. Despite the success in this area, the way computers learn is still principally different from the way people acquire new knowledge, recognise objects and make decisions. People do not need a huge amount of annotated data. They learn by example, using similarities to previously acquired prototypes, not by using parametric analytical models. Current ML approaches are focused primarily on accuracy and overlook explainability, the semantic meaning of the internal model representation, reasoning and its link with the problem domain. They also overlook the efforts to collect and label training data and rely on assumptions about the data distribution that are often not satisfied. The ability to detect the unseen and unexpected and start learning this new class/es in real time with no or very little supervision is critically important and is something that no currently existing classifier can offer. The challenge is to fill this gap between high level of accuracy and the semantically meaningful solutions. The most efficient algorithms that have fuelled interest towards ML and AI recently are also computationally very hungry – they require specific hardware accelerators such as GPU, huge amounts of labeled data and time. They produce parameterised models with hundreds of millions of coefficients, which are also impossible to interpret or be manipulated by a human. Once trained, such models are inflexible to new knowledge. They cannot dynamically evolve their internal structure to start recognising new classes. They are good only for what they were originally trained for. They also lack robustness, formal guarantees about their behaviour and explanatory and normative transparency. This makes problematic use of such algorithms in high stake complex problems such as aviation, health, bailing from jail, etc. where the clear rationale for a particular decision is very important and the errors are very costly. All these challenges and identified gaps require a dramatic paradigm shift and a radical new approach. In this talk the speaker will present such a new approach towards the next generation of computationally lean ML and AI algorithms that can learn in real-time using normal CPUs on computers, laptops, smartphones or even be implemented on chip that will change dramatically the way these new technologies are being applied. It is explainable-by-design. It focuses on addressing the open research challenge of developing highly efficient, accurate ML algorithms and AI models that are transparent, interpretable, explainable and fair by design. Such systems are able to self-learn lifelong, and continuously improve without the need for complete re-training, can start learning from few training data samples, explore the data space, detect and learn from unseen data patterns, collaborate with humans or other such algorithms seamlessly.

    Rhodes (or Rodos) is the 4th largest and one of the most beautiful Greek islands. It is known for its beach resorts, ancient ruins and remnants of its occupation by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades. The Colossus of Rhodes was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The landscape of Rhodes mainly comprises of hills and low mountains, which in their majority are covered with forests. The climate of Rhodes is subtropical and considered very healthy. Refreshing westerly winds moderate the summer heat, while the winter is nearly always mild, with long periods of sunshine.

    Colossus of Rhodes
    One of the Seven Wonders of Ancient World

    The Colossus of Rhodes was a 30 m high statue of Helios, the Greek sun god, built on the island of Rhodes in 280 BC. It was made of bronze and placed at the entrance to the port of Rhodes. It was considered as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The statue was destroyed in 226 BC during an earthquake.
