Fwd: 2018 IEEE Big Data Cup Call for Proposal

by Ugo Pagallo

Ricevo e inoltro volentieri... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: CFP Conference <cfp.conference2016(a)gmail.com> Date: 2018-02-07 14:59 GMT+01:00 Subject: 2018 IEEE Big Data Cup Call for Proposal To: BIGDATA(a)lists.drexel.edu *2018 IEEE Big Data Cup* *http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2018/index.html <http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2018/index.html>* We invite industrial, government, and academic organizations to submit proposals to organize a Data Challenge for the 2018 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE Big Data 2018, (http://cci.drexel.edu/ bigdata/bigdata2018/index.html ) . Data Challenges are analytics and programming contests based on datasets released by the organizations sponsoring the competitions. These contests will run for several months, with winners announced in the IEEE Big Data 2018 in December 10-13, 2018. The IEEE Big Data conference series started in 2013 has established itself as the top tier research conference in Big Data. · The first conference IEEE Big Data 2013 had more than 400 registered participants from 40 countries ( http://cci.drexel.edu/ bigdata/bigdata2013/) and the regular paper acceptance rate is 17.0%. · The IEEE Big Data 2017 ( http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2017/ , regular paper acceptance rate: 17.8%) was held in Boston, MA, Dec 11-14, 2017 with close to 1000 registered participants from 50 countries. Strong proposals will release interesting and novel datasets to the participants and propose tasks that are challenging, yet achievable within the expected timeline. To encourage broad participation in the challenge competition, tasks and data should be made publicly accessible where possible. We will consider topics from (but not limited to) the following big data application domains: ● Mobility ● Health and wellness ● Finance ● Advanced manufacturing ● Retail and e-commerce ● Smart City and Community ● Blockchain Technology ● Transportation and autonomous driving The Challenges involve a released dataset and a well-defined problem with clear evaluation metrics. The challenges run on a data competition platform (e.g., Kaggle) that maintains a leaderboard for the participants. Final winners are selected based on their standing on the leaderboard, and a 6-page report describing their algorithms and results. There will be a workshop in the IEEE BigData 2018 conference in which the invited teams will be able to present their solution. *Tentative Competition Timeline. * Step 1 - Solicitation of big data problems/topics, March 20, 2018 Step 2 - Proposal evaluation and selection of topics/problems, April 05, 2018 Step 3 - Data Release, Platform setup and solicitation of challenge participants, April 20, 2018 Step 4 - Deadline for contest teams to submit letter of intent, May 31, 2018 Step 5 - Deadline for contest teams to submit final report and solutions, November 10, 2018 Step 6 - Announcement of winning teams, Nov 20, 2018 *Data Challenge Proposal Format* Proposals should answer the following questions: ● Who are the organizers? Provide the names, affiliations, contact information, and brief bio of the organizers. ● Which sector does the proposed Data Challenge belong to? ● What is the dataset to be released? If there are privacy concerns regarding the data, we advise that the organizers first seek clearance from the legal department of their organization regarding the dataset release. ● What prizes will be offered? Note that cash prizes will be shared between competitors and BigData, to defray the expenses of hosting demonstrations of the finalists’ submissions at BigData. ● Do you require source code with submissions? ● * Challenge Specific Questions:* ● What are the task and the evaluation metrics? ● What competition infrastructure will be used? Our default hosting platform is Kaggle, which may impose fees to be borne by Challenge organizers. If you prefer to host it on your own infrastructure, specify the reasons and the resources you can commit for running the competition. *Deadline for proposal Submission: March 20, 2018. Please submit the proposal:* *https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2018/bigdata18/scripts/submit.php?subarea=ProC <https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2018/bigdata18/scripts/submit.php?subarea=ProC>* *2018 IEEE Big Data Cup Co-Chairs* *Mohammad Al Hasan, Associate Professor, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (**alhasan(a)iupui.edu* <alhasan(a)iupui.edu>*)* *Yicheng Tu, Associate Professor, University of South Florida (* *tuy(a)mail.usf.edu* <tuy(a)mail.usf.edu>*) * ------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the BIGDATA list, click the following link: http://lists.drexel.edu/cgi-bin/wa?TICKET=NzM2NzYyIHVnby5wYWdhbGxvQFVOSV RPLklUIEJJR0RBVEEgIFDgOGB6sqD%2F&c=SIGNOFF

"Camera makers continue to ignore photojournalist pleas for encryption"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

*Camera makers continue to ignore photojournalist pleas for encryption* Published Feb 6, 2018 | Brittany Hillen n late 2016, more than 150 professionals sent a letter to camera makers requesting that they add encryption to their camera products. This encryption, as it does with other devices like smartphones, would help protect content on the camera and its media cards. "Without encryption capabilities," the letter explained, "photographs and footage that we take can be examined and searched by the police, military, and border agents in countries where we operate and travel, and the consequences can be dire." More than a year has passed since the letter was circulated, and major camera manufacturers have largely failed to introduce encryption-based security on their camera products. Tech website ZDNet recently quizzed major camera manufacturers about potential plans to introduce encryption, and the response was underwhelming.

Ex-tech workers plead with Facebook: consider the harm you're doing to kids | Technology | The Guardian

by Alberto Cammozzo

<https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/feb/07/facebook-common-sense-me…> [] A gathering of Silicon Valley alumni and whistleblowers and Washington lobbyists in the US capital heard warnings of potential links between tech addiction and sleep disruption, poor academic performance, anxiety, depression, obesity, social isolation and suicide. Conference organiser James Steyer, chief executive and founder of Common Sense Media, a not-for-profit promoting safe technology and media for children, criticised giants such as Facebook, Google and Twitter. “Talk is cheap. Show me the money. Period.” Former Facebook and Google workers launch campaign to fight tech addiction Read more There were pleas for Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook co-founder and chief executive, and Sheryl Sandberg, the company’s chief operating officer, to apply values they advocate for their own families. Steyer added: “Mark and Sheryl at Facebook are good people. They are parents too. They have to think about their own kids when making a big picture decision there.” Roger McNamee, an early investor in Facebook, echoed this sentiment: “What I’d like [Sheryl Sandberg] to do is to bring the same values she has at home into the office. Remember that you have to have empathy. If you view your users as fuel stock for your profits you’re not going to make the world a better place.” The message to Mark Zuckerberg was ‘think about your own kids’. The message to Mark Zuckerberg was ‘think about your own kids’. Photograph: Bloomberg/Bloomberg via Getty Images McNamee is among a group of former tech employees behind the Center for Humane Technology, committed to “reversing the digital attention crisis and realigning technology with humanity’s best interests”, raising alarms about the effects of smartphones and social networks on people’s emotional and intellectual development. It has received $7m in funding from Common Sense Media for a lobbying campaign to combat tech addiction, reminiscent of past anti-smoking drives, as well as adverts targeting 55,000 schools in the US. As a backlash against Silicon Valley gathers momentum, Salesforce chief executive Marc Benioff, speaking in Davos last month, called for Facebook to be regulated like a cigarette company because of the addictive and harmful properties of social media. McNamee finds this a useful metaphor. []
