21 Mar '23

TrueHealth 2023: Combating Health Misinformation for Social Wellbeing Workshop @ ICWSM 2023, the 17th International Conference on Web and Social Media June 5th – 8th 2023, Limassol, Cyprus https://truehealth.disco.unimib.it/ Scope and topics: In recent years, people have increasingly referred to the Web and social media as sources of information about health-related problems and solutions, as confirmed by the U.S. Pew Research Center, and other European and international studies. Although, on the one hand, these platforms favor easier and more direct access to information sources by users without the intermediation of experts, on the other hand, it is precisely such democratization of health information that constitutes a potential danger for people. As we have seen especially in the last period, linked to the pandemic, the proliferation of false information, conspiracy theories, and unreliable remedies risk compromising the health not only of individuals but that of the community as a whole. From this perspective, it becomes necessary to study and propose technological solutions to help users come into contact with genuine information, especially in a critical domain such as health, for social well-being. To this end, it is essential to promote research of an interdisciplinary nature, involving computer scientists, physicians, lawyers, and communication experts who can address the problem of health misinformation from different points of view by combining their expertise. The topics of interest of the TrueHealth 2023 Workshop at ICWSM include, but are not limited to: Assessing the genuineness of Online Health Information (OHI); Consumer Health Search (CHS) and genuine information access; Debunking health misinformation; Fake news/rumors and healthcare; Measures, evaluation methods, and datasets for health misinformation detection; Health misinformation detection; Health literacy and information genuineness; Fact-checking in Online Health Information (OHI); Misinformation and public opinion on health; Relationship between access to non-genuine information and danger to public health; Relationship between psychological characteristics and perceptions of health misinformation; Techniques for accessing and retrieving genuine Online Health Information (OHI). Submission Instructions We welcome both 2-page abstracts, as well as Long (8 pages) and Short (4 pages) papers – excluding references (11 pages max with references and ethics statement). Abstracts are ideal as Demo or Position papers, Short papers as presentations of ongoing research with preliminary results or summaries of previous work, and Long papers as presentations of novel research and results. Long and Short papers will be published in ICWSM Workshop Proceedings (http://workshop-proceedings.icwsm.org/). All submissions should be double-blind. Papers have to follow the AAAI format, as outlined here: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/aaai-2023-author-kit/wxnmhzcrjbpc Submit here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=truehealth2023 Other ICWSM submission instructions: https://www.icwsm.org/2023/index.html/call_for_submissions.html Important Dates Workshop Papers Submissions: March 27, 2023 Workshop Paper Acceptance Notification: April 10, 2023 Workshop Final Camera-Ready Paper Due: May 6, 2023 ICWSM-2023 Workshops Day: June 5, 2023 Organizers Gabriella Pasi (Full Professor), University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy Rishabh Upadhyay (Research Fellow), University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy Marco Viviani (Associate Professor), University of Milano-Bicocca, Milan, Italy Program Committee Lorraine Goeuriot, Université Grenoble Alpes, France Sanda Harabagiu, The University of Texas at Dallas, USA Liadh Kelly, Maynooth University, Ireland Dongwon Lee, The Pennsylvania State University, USA Yelena Mejova, ISI Foundation, Italy Marinella Petrocchi, Institute of Informatics and Telematics (CNR), Italy Michael Sirivianos, Cyprus University of Technology, Cyprus Xingyi Song, University of Sheffield, UK Hanna Suominen, Australian National University, Australia Francesca Spazzano, Boise State University, USA Angelo Spognardi, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Bei Yu, Syracuse University, USA Arkaitz Zubiaga, Queen Mary University of London, UK

CLEF 2023 LongEval Lab on Longitudinal Evaluation of Model Performance
by Arkaitz Zubiaga 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Call for Participants LongEval: Longitudinal Evaluation of Model Performance CLEF 2023 Lab 18-21 September, Thessaloniki, Greece -------------------------------------------------------- ** Registration open, training data available ** The CLEF 2023 LongEval lab is motivated by recent research showing that the performance of information retrieval and text classification models drops as the test data becomes more distant in time from the training data. LongEval differs from traditional IR and classification shared tasks with special considerations on evaluating models that mitigate performance drop over time. It encourages participants to develop temporal information retrieval systems and longitudinal text classifiers that survive through dynamic temporal text changes, introducing time as a new dimension for ranking models performance. The lab consists of two tasks: * Task 1. LongEval-Retrieval: The goal of Task 1 is to propose an information retrieval system which can handle changes over the time. The proposed retrieval system should follow the temporal timewise evolution of Web documents. Contact: longeval-ir-task(a)univ-grenoble-alpes.fr * Task 2. LongEval-Classification: The goal of Task 2 is to propose a temporal persistence classifier which can mitigate performance drop over short and long periods of time compared to a test set from the same time frame as training. Contact: r.a.a.alkhalifa(a)qmul.ac.uk Registration ------------ Please use the CLEF registration form (http://clef2023-labs-registration.dei.unipd.it/) to register to the tasks. The registration closes on Friday, 28 April 2023. Timeline -------- April 2023: Test data release 28 April 2023: Registration closes 10 May 2023: End of Evaluation Cycle [submission of runs] 5 June 2023: Submission of Participant Papers [CEUR-WS] 5–23 June 2023: Review process of participant papers July 2023: Camera ready paper submission September 2023: CLEF Conference Organisers ---------- Rabab Alkhalifa, Iman Bilal, Hsuvas Borkakoty, Jose Camacho-Collados, Romain Deveaud, Alaa El-Ebshihy, Luis Espinosa-Anke, Gabriela Gonzalez-Saez, Petra Galuščáková, Lorraine Goeuriot, Elena Kochkina, Maria Liakata, Daniel Loureiro, Harish Tayyar Madabushi, Philippe Mulhem, Florina Piroi, Martin Popel, Christophe Servan, Arkaitz Zubiaga.

Call-for-Participation: Aware Task @ ImageCLEF 2023 (Unveiling Real-Life Effects of Online Photo Sharing)
by Bogdan Ionescu 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

[Apologies for multiple postings] ImageCLEFaware (3rd edition) Registration: https://www.imageclef.org/2023/aware Run submission: May 10, 2023 Working notes submission: June 5, 2023 CLEF 2023 conference: September 18-21, Thessaloniki, Greece *** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION *** Images constitute a large part of the content shared on social networks. Their disclosure is often related to a particular context and users are often unaware of the fact that, depending on their privacy status, images can be accessible to third parties and be used for purposes which were initially unforeseen. For instance, it is common practice for employers to search information about their future employees online. Another example of usage is that of automatic credit scoring based on online data. Most existing approaches which propose feedback about shared data focus on inferring user characteristics and their practical utility is rather limited. We hypothesize that user feedback would be more efficient if conveyed through the real-life effects of data sharing. The objective of the task is to automatically score user photographic profiles in a series of situations with strong impact on her/his life. Four such situations were modeled this year and refer to searching for: (i) a bank loan, (ii) an accommodation, (iii) a job as waitress/waiter, and (iv) a job in IT. The inclusion of several situations is interesting in order to make it clear to the end-users of the system that the same image will be interpreted differently depending on the context. The final objective of the task is to encourage the development of efficient user feedback, such as the YDSYO Android app https://ydsyo.app/. *** TASK *** Given an annotated training dataset, participants will propose machine learning techniques which provide a ranking of test user profiles in each situation which is as close as possible to a human ranking of the test profiles. *** DATA SET *** This is the third edition of the task. A data set of more than 1,000 user profiles with 100 photos per profile was created and annotated with an appeal score for a series of real-life situations via crowdsourcing. Participants to the experiment were asked to provide a global rating of each profile in each situation modeled using a 7-points Likert scale ranging from strongly unappealing to strongly appealing. An averaged and normalized appeal score will be used to create a ground truth composed of ranked users in each modeled situation. User profiles are created by repurposing a subset of the YFCC100M dataset. *** METRICS *** Participants to the task will provide an automatically ranking of user ratings for each situation which will be compared to a ground truth rating obtained by crowdsourcing. The correlation between the two ranked list will be measured using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The final score of each participating team will be obtained by averaging correlations obtained for individual situations. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** - Run submission: May 10, 2023 - Working notes submission: June 5, 2023 - CLEF 2023 conference: September 18-21, Thessaloniki, Greece (https://clef2023.clef-initiative.eu/) *** OVERALL COORDINATION *** Jérôme Deshayes-Chossart, CEA LIST, France Adrian Popescu, CEA LIST, France Bogdan Ionescu, Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania *** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT *** The task is supported under the H2020 AI4Media â€œA European Excellence Centre for Media, Society and Democracyâ€ project, contract #951911 https://www.ai4media.eu/.
