Contact: mchau@business.hku.hk

Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) is concerned with the study of the development and use of advanced information technologies and systems for national, international, and societal security-related applications. Submissions may include systems, methodology, testbed, modeling, evaluation, and policy papers. Research should be relevant to both informatics and national/international security. Topics include but are not limited to: Information Sharing and Big Data Analytics, Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Responses, Cybercrime and Terrorism Informatics and Analytics, and Enterprise Risk Management, IS Security, and Social Media Analytics. PAISI 2019 will be held in conjunction with PAKDD and will provide a stimulating forum for ISI researchers in Pacific Asia and other regions of the world to exchange ideas and report research progress. Selected PAISI 2019 papers will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series, which is indexed by EI Compendex, ISI Proceedings, and Scopus.

WeL - PAKDD 2019 Workshop on Weakly Supervised Learning: Progress and Future

URL: http://lamda.nju.edu.cn/conf/wel19/

Organisers
- Yu-Feng Li (Nanjing University, China)
- Sheng-Jun Huang (Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China)

Contact: liyf@nju.edu.cn; huangsj@nuaa.edu.cn

The aim of the workshop is to highlight the current research related to weakly supervised learning techniques in different types of weak supervision and their applications in real problems. The workshop will also emphasize a discussion for the major challenges for the future of weakly supervised learning and provide an opportunity to researchers for related fields such as optimization, statistical learning to get a feedback from other community.

Organisers
- Lazhar Labiod (University of Paris Descartes, France)
- Mohamed Nadif (University of Paris Descartes, France)

Contact: lazhar.labiod@parisdescartes.fr

This workshop aims at discovering the recent advanced on data representation for clustering under different approaches. Thereby, the LDRC workshop is an opportunity to:
● present the recent advances in data representation based clustering algorithms,
● outline potential applications that could inspire new data representation approaches for clustering,
● explore benchmark data to better evaluate and study data representation based clustering models.

Previous supervised learning algorithms mainly assume that there are plenty of i.i.d. sampled labeled data to train a good model for test data. However, this assumption does not always hold in real-world applications, since labeling data is time consuming and labor tedious. Furthermore, the test data are usually sampled the distribution which is different from the one of training data. The advanced algorithms based on knowledge transfer or sharing provide an effective way to handle this issue, e.g., transfer learning, multi-task learning and multi-view learning, since they either try to handle the distribution mismatch problem or the shortage of labeled data. In recent years, deep learning has been proved to have the ability to learn powerful representations for various kinds of tasks. On the one hand, although there are large amount of previous works based on knowledge transfer or sharing, there are only small amount of them applying deep learning techniques. In this workshop, we aim to bring researchers and practitioners who work on various aspects of advanced knowledge transfer algorithms based on deep learning techniques, to discuss on the state-of-the-art and open problems, to share their expertise and exchange the ideas, and to offer them an opportunity to identify new promising research directions.
