06 Sep '23

Third International Conference on Digital Data Processing University of Bedfordshire Luton. UK November 27-29, 2023 Hybrid mode- Virtual/Physical www.socio.org.uk/ddp IEEE CPS will publish the proceedings (Xplore) Data grows voluminously and exponentially with heterogeneity and complexity. A single organisation or industry processes over a few million transactions hourly and stores several petabytes of data. We live in a world of tremendous pressure to analyse and process data more efficiently, where Data analytics can reflect hidden patterns, incomprehensible relationships, intrinsic information relations, and segmentation. Data applications have introduced cutting-edge possibilities in every activity in our life. Thus, studying data and its underlying structure, dynamics of data relations, and newer data technologies is a never-ending process. The literature and research on data management are enormous; they do not sufficiently solve the data processing requirements. Currently, the use of technology and interrelations among information pieces generate gargantuan amounts of data. Many studies tend to develop models and systems to analyse voluminous datasets. Analysing the impact of data leads to application domains on decisions that have a systematic influence. Knowledge generated from data analysis can enable the production of critical information for several domains. Hence this conference reviews and discusses the recent trends, opportunities, and pitfalls of data management and how it has impacted organizations to create successful business and technology strategies and remain updated in data technology. This conference also highlights the current open research directions of data analytics that require further consideration. The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data Ecosystem Business Analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Privacy and Security Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modelling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning Network optimization Data in Biomedical Engineering Data in Materials science and mechanics Data handling and applications in domains Wireless Networking Data Management Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems Multi-media Systems Data Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data E-Computing Data Renewable Energies Data Publications The IEEE Xplore will publish the DDP papers.

Cfp: Content Moderation on Digital Platforms: Beyond States and Firms
by Francesca Musiani 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

dear colleagues, hoping this is of interest. all best, Francesca ---- The Internet Policy Review has published a call for papers for a special issue on "Content Moderation on Digital Platforms: Beyond States and Firms". Guest Editors of the special issue Romain Badouard & Anne Bellon Please find here and below more information : https://policyreview.info/node/1717 Abstraction submission deadline : October 31, 2023 ++++ Call for papers: Content moderation on digital platforms: beyond states and firms Special issue of the Internet Policy Review Content regulation on digital platforms has attracted growing interest from scientists and regulators in recent years. In Europe, new legal initiatives at the national and European level, such as the NetzDG in Germany, the Law on fake news in France or the Digital Services Act, transform the power relation between public authorities and private platforms. At the academic level, these developments are seen primarily through the lens of state-platform relationship, focusing in particular on the role of nation states in Internet governance. However, content regulation on digital platforms goes far beyond this dual relationship. It encompasses a wide diversity of actors who develop their own practices of content regulation, apart from, in partnership with, or against public authorities and firms. Journalists build up fact-checking procedures to limit the spread of fake news. Activists put pressure on advertisers in order to cut sources of funding for hate groups. Marketing agencies monetize blacklists of sites, groups and channels to avoid reputation backlash while advertising online. Social media users put in practice counter-speech strategies in order to stem hate speech or circumvent restrictions on social media. Even researchers develop their own transparency and accountability indicators to assess platform policies related to content regulation. Besides, these actors are gradually associated with the evolution of content regulation through formal partnerships and multi-stakeholder organizations. All these actors, and many others, who could be grouped together under the banner of "civil society", are now actively contributing to content moderation and regulation on digital platforms. However, their precise role, their strategies and means of action remain little studied. Following recent works published in Internet Policy Review, such as calls for studying content regulation issues beyond the scope of relationships between states and platforms (Gillespie et al., 2020), this special issue intends to illustrate the role of “civil society” in the global governance of speech online, and map the variety of social groups involved in content moderation. Drawing on existing work on multistakeholderism that have discussed the participation of civil society in the global internet governance (Massit-Folléa, 2014; Raymond, DeNardis, 2015), this special issue aims at pushing forward the understanding of non-state actors’ contribution in the current internet regulatory framework. It calls for empirical studies that provide an insight on the social conditions and materiality of civil society’s contribution to content regulation. Scope of the special issue For this special issue we invite contributions that analyze the role of users, non-profit organizations, media, technical and professional groups, researchers and other actors from civil society in moderating and regulating contents on digital platforms, while potentially discussing their articulation with public authorities and platform initiatives. Three axes of contribution are envisioned. First of all, this special issue aims at moving beyond the state-platform scope of analysis by gathering papers that describe the complex configurations of actors involved in the moderation of contents. Contributors are invited to study the various social and institutional arrangements informing moderation policies and notably the extent of civil society’s involvement in this process – from the orientation of moderation policy to the detection of illegal content. Such contributions could also enlighten the role of users’ protests and mobilizations in shifting the scope and focus of moderation (Gillespie, 2018; Myers-West, 2017), notably how sexual minority and race-based groups try to voice their concern regarding the specific discrimination and censorship they face online (Nakamura, 2013). Secondly, we would like to identify papers that contribute to the study of technologies and design in offering new forms of regulation. Although many works have focused on algorithmic content detection by the platforms (Yeung, 2018; Gorwa, Binns, Katzenbach, 2020), in articulation with their business of data collection, we would like to attract papers that discuss alternative design and standards developed by tech communities to promote more diverse and distributed types of moderation. For example, platforms such as Mastodon emphasize the role of users in defining alternative moderation rules and mechanisms. Such a discussion may also include new strategies developed by activists to document algorithmic censorship and inform shadowbanning practices. Thirdly, we would like to include in this special issue papers that study the circulation and distribution of practices and knowledge across civil society organizations. Global fora on content moderation are key loci to observe exchanges between organizations as well as conflicting interpretation of moderation principles. Far from a homogenous ensemble, civil society is a broad concept that gathers various groups with conflicting interest and unequally distributed resources. Such papers could contribute to a global mapping of power relations within civil society as well as shed new light on the “Brussel effect” (Bradford, 2020) from third parties perspectives. More broadly, it would offer a critical assessment of “civil society” as a regulatory entity and the way it is endorsed or instrumentalized by governments and platforms. Special issue editors Romain Badouard, Associate Professor, University Paris Panthéon-Assas Anne Bellon, Associate Professor, University of Technology of Compiègne Important dates 750-1000 words abstracts should be sent to romain.badouard(a)u-paris2.fr and anne.bellon(a)utc.fr by 31 October 2023. The abstracts should delineate the research question to be discussed, the case study to be analysed and an indication of the expected findings or conclusions. Decisions will be sent to the authors by 30 November 2023. Full papers of the selected abstracts should be submitted by 17 March 2024. Submissions must be around 6,000 words in length and have to follow the submission guidelines of the Internet Policy Review. They will be peer-reviewed between March and July. The planned publication date of this special issue is Q4 2024. No payment from the authors will be required. -- Francesca Musiani, Ph.D. Chargée de recherche | Associate Research Professor, CNRS <http://www.cnrs.fr> Directrice adjointe | Deputy Director, Centre for Internet and Society <https://cis.cnrs.fr> (UPR 2000 & GDR 2091 CNRS) Chercheuse associée | Associate Researcher, i3-CSI <http://www.csi.ensmp.fr/>, MINES ParisTech Global Fellow, Internet Governance Lab <https://internetgovernancelab.org>, American University I'm involved in: CPT-IAMCR <https://iamcr.org/s-wg/section/cpt> | Internet Policy Review <https://policyreview.info> | RESET <https://journals.openedition.org/reset/> | ISOC France <https://www.isoc.fr> | ResisTIC <https://www.resistic.org> On the Web <https://cis.cnrs.fr/francesca-musiani/> | On Twitter <https://twitter.com/franmusiani>

POSTPONED: Study-in on AI + Race + Art, Melbourne
by Thao Phan 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hello AoIR-ists, As many of you will have heard, the date for the Australian Indigenous Voice Referendum was last week announced for Saturday October 14, 2023. Unfortunately, this now clashes with the date for the Study-In on AI + Race + Art and after discussion with our partners at CoVA and Art & Australia, *we have decided to take a step back and postpone the event.* As organisers, we feel that the significance and weight of the Voice as a collective, historical event outweighs our own individual priorities. So with this in mind, the new details for the study-in event are: - *Date: Saturday 2nd December, 2023, 10am - 6pm* - *Venue: TBC, Melbourne/Naarm.* The application deadline has also been extended to Friday 6 October, 2023 with notification outcomes by late October 2023. Visit the Art + Australia website for more information: https://www.artandaustralia.com/58_1/p143/study-in-on-ai-race-art Please circulate widely. All the best, Thao, Andrew & Joel --- *Study-In on AI + Race + Art* ****NEW DATE, LOCATION, & APPLICATION DEADLINE**** *Time & Location (updated!):* —Saturday 2nd December 2023, 10am-6.00pm —Venue TBC *Deadline for applications (updated):* Friday 6 October, 2023, midnight (extended, previously 8 September) *Curated by:* Thao Phan (Monash), Andrew Brooks (UNSW), and Joel Stern (RMIT) *Details on how to apply visit:* https://www.artandaustralia.com/58_1/p143/study-in-on-ai-race-art *About the event:* What is study? For Stefano Harney and Fred Moten, study is a form of sociality. It is a meeting with, a brushing against, a bumping up of people, texts, ideas and things. It is the creation of a mutual and unpayable debt; a debt that is 'without count, without interest, without repayment.' As Moten states: study is what you do with other people. It’s talking and walking around > with other people, working, dancing, suffering, some irreducible > convergence of all three, held under the name of speculative practice. This event is an exercise in precisely this kind of practice. It invites writers, researchers, activists, artists and others together for a day of speculative thinking, talking, listening and experimentation on the topic of AI, race, and art. Terms like ‘AI’ are already associated with speculation—speculative fictions, speculative profits, speculative job losses, speculative risks and harms. Art also finds value in its connection to the speculative—speculative practice, speculative experiments, speculative funding, speculative futures. And critical work on race also productively turns to speculation when the empirical facts of inequity and injustice fail to create social change—speculative world-making and speculative methods to realise racial justice. This event combines these different strands of speculation, holding together disparate threads that may gesture to abstract and indeterminate futures but are all irreducibly historical, political, and situated. It focuses on AI, race and art because these are topics that need to be studied, that must be studied because they have implications on such things as subjectivity, politics, inequality, and aesthetics. It takes the form of a ‘Study-in’, that is, a temporary school that will interrogate AI and race, developing new methods and approaches to study that draw from and feed into artistic methods and strategies. It begins from the proposition that the challenge of understanding race in the contemporary moment requires responses that are equal parts creative, critical, technical, and collective. Through the process of collective study, the event will also build what might be called a speculative curriculum. Here, we take the traces of what Harney and Moten describe as the 'empty shell of what used to be called education' to cobble together a resource that can exceed the time and place of the ‘Study-in’ as an event and can be used by ourselves and others as an occasion for future study. The event is motivated by questions such as: - How are bodies classified, recognised, and operationalised by Artifical Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) systems that are situated within colonial and imperial histories and contexts? - How are group-based differentials—such as race, gender, sexuality—shaped by data-driven technologies and AI systems? - How do these technologies move us beyond understanding race and gender as either purely biological or purely cultural? - And how might contemporary artistic practice help us to experiment, challenge, trouble, blow apart, and piece back together entanglements with technology, embodiment, and difference? The Study-in is a day interrogating these questions and is curated by Thao Phan, Andrew Brooks, and Joel Stern in collaboration with CoVA, Art + Australia, and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society (ADM+S). *Applications close:* Friday 6 October September, 2023, midnight (extended, previously 8 September) *For more information or to apply, visit: * https://www.artandaustralia.com/58_1/p143/study-in-on-ai-race-art
