Dear AoIR community, I am delighted to announce that the Institute of Social Studies at the University of Tartu, Estonia, is looking for a post-doc researcher to join us in studying the evolution of industrial modernity. The research group is highly interdisciplinary, involving (among others) experts from sustainability transitions studies, digital humanities, history and environmental sociology. The candidate will be a part of the team tasked with measuring long-term trends in the historical evolution of industrial societies along multiple dimensions (ideas, institutions, and practices) and on multiple scales (national, global). The project seeks to combine data from existing databases with analysis of digitized text corpora. Therefore, we are looking for a candidate with 1) competence in data analysis skills applicable to the analysis of large historical text collections; 2) methodological creativity in finding ways to utilize text corpora for tracking long-term societal trends. Application deadline is 16. September and the position starts from 1. November 2019. I would love to see members of AoIR community applying for this position and would be delighted to welcome you in our institute! Andra ________________________________ Measuring Industrial Modernity (1900-2018) A research group in a University of Tartu, Estonia, is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join us in studying the evolution of industrial modernity. The project is based on the Deep Transitions framework (Schot & Kanger, 2018<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048733318300593>; Kanger & Schot, 2018<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210422417301892>) that aims to conceptualize the 250-year developmental trajectory of industrial societies through the co-evolution of socio-technical systems. The key questions our team seeks to answer are as follows: 1) What are the foundational features of industrial modernity, characterizing almost every industrial society to date, that have shaped its evolution? 2) Do we see some significant ruptures along these dimensions in recent decades? The position is funded by the Estonian Science Council and is part of the project “Reshaping Estonian energy, mobility and telecommunications systems on the verge of the Second Deep Transition”. The researcher is expected to engage in the following tasks, some of which involve close collaboration with other team members: * Operationalizing the features of industrial modernity in order to track them in historical data * Extracting text corpora from public sources, organizing and storing them * Cleaning and processing historical OCR texts and preparing them for analysis * Assisting in designing and formulating collaborative procedures and workflows to study the representations of industrial modernity in historical texts utilizing the interdisciplinary domain expertise in the group * Conducting data analysis and text mining on historical corpora through various techniques, interpreting and integrating the results * Representing the findings in thematic conferences and participating in the write-up of the results for journal submission.

Call for Abstracts: Socinfo’19 Workshop on Bias, Disinformation, Misinformation, and Propaganda in Online News and Social Media
by Banu Akdenizli 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

SocInfo'19 Organisation Call for Abstracts Workshop on Bias, Disinformation, Misinformation, and Propaganda in Online News and Social Media Workshop website: https://propaganda.qcri.org/bias-misinformation-workshop-socinfo19/ Tentative Workshop Date: November 18, 2019 Abstracts submission deadline: September 5, 2019 (23:59 PM Pacific Standard Time) Co-located with Social Informatics 2019, November 18-21, Doha, Qatar. In recent years, we have witnessed the rise of social media, which have enabled people to virtually share information with a large number of users with little-to-no regulation or quality control. On the one hand, this has enabled anyone with a computer and internet access to rapidly create and disseminate content. On the other hand, it has also opened the door for malicious users, including automated bots, to rapidly spread disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda, which can now reach audiences at an unprecedented scale. This has resulted in the proliferation of false information that is typically created either (a) to attract network traffic in order to secure financial gain through advertising revenue (e.g. clickbait), or (b) to affect individual people's beliefs - something that can ultimately lead to influencing major events such as political elections or views on public health. There are strong indications that false information was weaponized at an unprecedented scale during the 2016 U.S. and the 2018 Brazilian presidential campaigns, among many others. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from both academia and industry to discuss bias, disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda in online news and in social media. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Bias - Bots - Check-worthiness - Claim extraction - Claim source detection - Clickbait - Deep fakes - Disinformation - Echo chambers - Fact-checking - Fake reviews - Harassment/bullying - Hate speech - Hyper-partisanship - Misinformation - Offensive language - Polarization - Propaganda identification/analysis - Seminar users - Source reliability - Stance detection - Supporting evidence retrieval - Trolls - Trust - Truth Submission Format We kindly ask you to submit abstracts addressing one of the topics above from the perspective of use cases, tools, resources, and preliminary experimental results. Abstracts should be in Socinfo format (see https://www.springer.com/gb/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) 1-2 pages long. Abstracts will be reviewed by the workshop organizers and the authors of selected abstracts will be assigned a time slot for a short presentation (15 minutes each) to present their ideas. Selected abstracts will be made available on this website. Send your submission to socinfo-bias-workshop(a)googlegroups.com.

Third CfP ACM Intelligent User Interfaces - IUI 2020, Cagliari, Italy
by Oana Inel 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * # ACM IUI 2020: Call for Papers * Cagliari, Italy * March 17-20, 2020 * http://iui.acm.org/2020/ * Contact: program2020(a)iui.acm.org ## Upcoming deadlines Abstract: Oct 1, 2019 (compulsory) Paper submission: Oct 8, 2019 ## ACM IUI 2020 ACM IUI 2020 is the 25th annual premier international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and the Artificial Intelligence (AI) communities meet, with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, the arts, and more. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and digital technology, by leveraging both HCI approaches and state-of-the art AI techniques from machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge representation and reasoning. ### Why you should submit to ACM IUI While other conferences focus on either the AI or HCI side of this research, we address the complex interaction between the two. We strongly encourage submissions that simultaneously discuss research from both HCI and AI. We also welcome works that focus more on one side or the other, but still highlight the connections between the two. We value papers that contribute to the methodology or theory for evaluation of intelligent user interfaces. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contributions. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from all relevant arenas, academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations, and gives its participants the opportunity to present and see cutting-edge IUI work in a focused and interactive setting. The conference is large enough to be diverse and lively, but small enough to allow for extensive interaction among attendees and easy attendance to the events that the conference offers, ranging from oral paper presentations, poster sessions, workshops, panels and doctoral consortium for graduate students. ## Papers We accept two forms of contributions: long and short papers. They should both make novel contributions to IUI, however - long papers should make more substantial and significant contributions. - short papers can contain more preliminary and focused contributions. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2020". ## Topics IUI topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Application areas * Education and learning-related technologies * Health and intelligent health technologies * Assistive technologies * Social media technologies * Artificial personal assistants * Information retrieval, search, and recommendation system * Interface types * Affective and aesthetic interfaces * Collaborative interfaces * Intelligent wearable and mobile interfaces * Ubiquitous smart environments * Modalities * Agent based interfaces (e.g., embodied agents) * Multi-modal interfaces (speech, gestures, eye gaze, face, physiological information etc.) * Conversational interfaces * Tangible interfaces * Intelligent visualization * Methods and approaches * Methods for explanations (e.g., transparency, control, and trust ) * Persuasive technologies in IUI * Planning and plan recognition for IUI * Knowledge-based approaches to user interface design and generation * User Modelling for Intelligent Interfaces * User-Adaptive interaction and personalization * Crowd computing and human computation * Human-in-the loop machine learning * Evaluations of intelligent user interfaces * Reproducibility * Meta-analysis * Mixed-methods evaluations ## Dates * Oct 1, 2019: Abstract deadline (compulsory) * Oct 8, 2019: Papers deadline * Dec 12, 2019: Notification * Jan 17, 2020: Camera ready due * Mar 17, 2020: Conference starts ## Submission - Full and Short Papers We invite original paper submissions that describe novel user interfaces, applications, interactive and intelligent technologies, empirical studies, or design techniques. We do not require evaluations with users, but we do expect papers to include an appropriate evaluation for their stated contribution. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library and citation indices. A selected set of accepted top quality full papers will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in an ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (TiiS, http://tiis.acm.org) special issue titled "Highlights of IUI 2020". ### Submission Guidelines * Full paper (anonymized 10 pages, references do not count toward the page limit) should make substantial, novel, and relevant contribution to the field. * Short paper (anonymized 4 pages, references do not count toward the page limit) is a much more focused and succinct contribution to the field. Short papers are not expected to include a discussion of related work that is as broad and complete as that of Full papers. * Anonymization: ACM IUI uses a double-blind review process. All submissions must be appropriately anonymized according to the following guidelines: * Author’s names and affiliations are not visible anywhere in the paper. * Acknowledgements should be anonymized or removed during the review process. * Self-citations should be included where necessary, but must use the third person. For example, "... as shown in our previous user study [2] ... " is not allowed, whereas "... as shown in Smith et al. [2] " is acceptable (because in this case the citation [2] will NOT be perceived as self-citation). * Failure to follow these guidelines may result in submissions being rejected without review. * Authors should also be aware of the SIGCHI Policy for Submission and Review at SIGCHI Conferences (https://sigchi.org/about/sigchi-policies/conference-policies/submission-and…) * Submissions should follow the standard sigconf format, using one of the Interim ACM templates available at http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html: ** LaTex Template for Papers (https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/consolidated-tex-t…) ** Microsoft Word Template for Papers (https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/word_style/interim…) * Authors are required to include a proper classification for the paper according to the ACM Classification System (CCS). Additional information on how to use it is available at: http://dl.acm.org/ccs/ccs.cfm Accepted full papers will be invited for oral presentation. Accepted short papers will be invited either as oral or poster presentation, depending on the nature and quality of the paper. #### Please note: ACM IUI 2020 is using what is called PCS 2.0 (https://new.precisionconference.com) for paper submissions. To aid SIGCHI in the process of paper submission and management, this system and hence its interface is still in development. You are encouraged to report PCS 2.0 problems or to make interface suggestions to support(a)precisionconference.com ## Chairs * Cristina Conati, University of British Columbia, Canada * Davide Spano, University of Cagliari, Italy * Nava Tintarev, University of Delft, Netherlands * Contact: program2020(a)iui.acm.org

Two jobs at Univ. of Bergen: games studies and electronic literature
by Jill Walker Rettberg 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

We are hiring two associate professors in Digital Culture (permanent positions) at the University of Bergen in Norway, one in electronic literature and one in games studies/interactive digital narrative. The application deadline is 15 September. A little about jobs in Norway: We don’t have the tenure system in Norway, and these jobs are tenured from the start. We also don’t have the assistant professor rung, so anyone with a PhD is qualified for associate professor, although candidates will be ranked based on experience, with emphasis on their publications and research experience in the last five years (if parental leave/sick leave was taken in the last five years, the time will be added to the five years). At Digital Culture, all our classes are taught in English, though you are expected to learn Norwegian within two years (lessons are provided). You would receive all standard Norwegian welfare benefits (ten months paid parental leave, universal health care, free tuition etc).
