                         DOING IT WITH STYLE:
       Computational Approaches to Style Analysis and Synthesis
                    August 10 2003, Acapulco, Mexico

                Submission deadline: March 10, 2003

OVERVIEW
Style is an intuitive concept which may be roughly defined as the
'manner' in which something is done, as opposed to the 'content' of
what actually is being accomplished.  In recent years a growing number
of researchers working in a variety of different areas have focused on
explicitly addressing recognition and generation of style in their
various disciplines, work that contrast with more traditional emphasis
on 'performance' or 'content' or 'meaning'.  Indeed, in some media
such as music, visual art and to a lesser extent, film and even
expressive speech, 'meaning' itself comprises mainly factors such as
excitation and calmness or other emotional expressions that can be
considered aspects of style instead of what is usually thought of as
content.

We seek submissions that address all aspects of style analysis and
synthesis from a computational perspective, but are particularly
interested to see work that addresses some of the following questions:
   - What is style, and how may it be formalized?
   - What kinds of features indicate style (as opposed to function or
     meaning)? 
   - How is style related to short- and long-term temporal
     dependencies, such as found in music or text?
   - How do stylistic features correlate with affect of the
     observer/performer? 
   - How may style be effectively combined with pre-existing content? 
   - What sorts of formal modeling methods are useful in representing
     style?      
   - How may one effectively learn a style of expression and then
     execute it? 
   - How does perceived style depend on the observer's context?
   - How may presentation style affect comprehension?
   - What connections can be drawn from stylistic methods used for one
     domain to another?

  Second International Conference on Knowledge Capture
                     K-CAP 2003

              Sponsored by ACM SigArt
                 Oct 23-25th, 2003
     Sundial Resort, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA

Information in all forms is increasingly available, but using it
effectively requires a range of technologies for representing,
manipulating, and reasoning with information.  These technologies
comprise knowledge capture, the extraction of useful knowledge from
vast and diverse sources of information and raw data.  Driven by the
demands for knowledge-based applications, and the unprecedented
availability of information on the Internet, the study of knowledge
capture has a renewed importance.

Although there has been considerable work in the area of knowledge
capture, activities have been distributed across several distinct
research communities, principally knowledge engineering, machine
learning, and natural-language processing. However, other fields study
knowledge capture, too. For example, in planning and process
management, mixed-initiative systems acquire knowledge about a user's
goals by taking commands or accepting advice regarding a task.  In
addition, recent research with the Semantic Web includes work that
tries to capture the knowledge associated with appropriately annotated
web pages.  All of these approaches are related in that they acquire
information and organize it in knowledge structures that can be used
for reasoning. They are complementary in that they use different
techniques and approaches to capture different forms of knowledge.

K-CAP 2003 will provide a forum in which to bring together disparate
research communities whose members are interested in efficiently
capturing knowledge from a variety of sources and in creating
representations that can be useful for reasoning. We solicit
high-quality research papers for publication and presentation at our
conference. Our aim is to promote multidisciplinary research that
could lead to a new generation of tools and methodologies for
knowledge capture.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
**     Knowledge acquisition tools
**     Advice taking systems
**     Authoring tools
**     Learning apprentices
**     Knowledge engineering and modeling methodologies
**     Knowledge extraction systems
**     Knowledge management environments
**     Mixed-initiative decision-support tools
**     Knowledge-based markup techniques
**     Acquisition of problem-solving knowledge

Biology (ICoBiCoBi), to be held in  Brazil from 14th to 16th May 2003,
represents  a  unique  opportunity  for bringing  together  under  the
unifying  theme  of  computer  science  a broad  series  of  concepts,
problems and applications in biology. Special attention will be placed
on the  combined use  of concepts and  techniques to  address relevant
problems in biology.

Prospective  authors are  encouraged to  submit  manuscripts reporting
high   quality  and  innovative   approaches  to   bioinformatics  and
computational  biology. Every  accepted manuscript  will  be published

                        IJCAI 2003 Workshop on
            Intelligent Techniques for Web Personalization
                              (ITWP '03)

                       Monday, August 11, 2003
                           Acapulco, Mexico
             http://maya.cs.depaul.edu/~mobasher/itwp03/

OVERVIEW
The continued explosion in the amount of content and the number for
information sources available online is making the need for effective
personalized content delivery more acute. This has resulted in a renewed
interest in Web personalization as an indispensable tool for Web-based
organizations. Personalization can be defined as any action that tailors the
Web experience to a particular user, or set of users. The experience can be
something as casual as browsing a Web site or as (economically) significant
as trading stocks or purchasing a car. The actions can range from simply
making the presentation more pleasing to anticipating the needs of a user
and providing customized and relevant information. To achieve effective
personalization, organizations must rely on all available data, including
the usage and click-stream data (reflecting user behaviour), the site
content, the site structure, domain knowledge, as well as user demographics
and profiles. In addition, efficient and intelligent techniques are needed
to mine this data for actionable knowledge, and to effectively use the
discovered knowledge to enhance the users' Web experience. These techniques
must address important challenges emanating from the size and the
heterogeneous nature of the data itself, as well as the dynamic nature of
user interactions with Web sites, especially in e-commerce applications.
These challenges include the scalability of the personalization solutions,
data integration, and successful integration of techniques from machine
learning, information retrieval and filtering, databases, knowledge
representation, data mining, text mining, statistics, and human-computer
interaction.

TOPICS
Original contributions are solicited in the following areas:
- Data and Knowledge Modeling, Integration and Management
        - Using domain knowledge for more effective personalization
        - Data models for Web usage, content, and structure data
        - Data integration across multiple channels
        - Generation and updating of user profiles
        - Cognitive models for Web navigation and e-commerce interactions
        - The role of user context
- Enabling Technologies
        - Machine learning and data mining in personalization
        - Text mining techniques for content-based filtering
        - Semantic Web mining
        - Privacy preserving personalization
        - Standards for data and knowledge modeling
- Quality of Service in Personalization
        - Techniques for improving online data quality
        - Evaluation of recommendation engines
        - Metrics for personalization effectiveness
- Systems and Architectures
        - Frameworks and systems for scalable collaborative filtering
        - Agents for intelligent browsing and navigation
        - Intelligent question answering systems
        - Adaptive hypertext systems
        - Hybrid Recommendation Systems

                       CFP: IJCAI-2003 Workshop
           Learning Statistical Models from Relational Data
                        Monday, 11 August 2003
                           Acapulco, Mexico
               http://kdl.cs.umass.edu/events/srl2003/

This workshop will explore approaches to learning statistical models
from relational data.  The workshop will explore the foundations,
advantages, and limitations of the surprising array of approaches that
have been developed over the past decade.  These include probabilistic
relational models, stochastic logic programs, Bayesian logic programs,
relational Bayesian networks, relational probability trees,
first-order Bayesian classifiers, relational Markov models, block
models and statistical relational models.

These techniques have been developed in several related, but
different, subareas of artificial intelligence (reasoning under
uncertainty, inductive logic programming, machine learning, and
knowledge discovery and data mining) and in some areas outside of AI
(e.g., databases and social network analysis).  Most researchers only
have exposure to one or two techniques, and no clear understanding of
the relative advantages and limitations of different techniques has
yet emerged.  We believe this is an ideal time for a workshop that
allows active researchers in this area to discuss and debate the
unique challenges of learning statistical models from relational data.

Potential topics include:
   * Unique challenges of relational learning
   * Representational power of different techniques
   * Scalability of statistical relational model-building
   * Alternative methods of incorporating background knowledge
   * Inference and learning tasks for relational data (e.g., attribute 
     prediction, link prediction, consolidation, entity detection, object 
     identification and clustering)
   * Learning statistical models from time-changing relational data
   * Using statistical models to fuse relational information from noisy,
     heterogeneous sources
   * Contribution of ancillary steps to modeling (e.g., data cleaning,
     transformation, and querying)
   * Applications of relational models (e.g., social network analysis,
     security and law enforcement, and analysis of hypertext collections)

This workshop is intended for researchers in the areas of machine 
learning, knowledge discovery and data mining, information retrieval, 
link analysis, and social network analysis.

Faculty Positions at the OGI School of Science and Engineering

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering invites
applications for faculty positions at all ranks.  The current
strengths of our department include graphics and visualization,
adaptive systems and machine learning, databases and data mining,
networking, programming languages, software systems, human-computer
interaction, spoken language systems, software engineering, control,
computer architecture, image processing, and applied formal methods
and verification of both hardware and software.  In addition to these
areas, our target areas for hiring include bioinformatics and
computational biology, security, mobile and embedded systems,
real-time and reactive systems, high-performance computing, vision,
robotics, and sensor fusion.  While these are particular areas of
interest, we will consider outstanding candidates in any area of
computer science and engineering.

Building on a shared commitment to excellence in graduate education
and research, Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology
(OGI) merged with Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) on July 1,
2001. OGI now is the OGI School of Science and Engineering in the
re-named Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The merger is
enabling the CSE department to expand in core disciplines and
establish strong interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers in
information technology, health care, biomedical engineering, and
environmental and biological sciences. Significant collaborations
between OGI and OHSU have existed for 30 years.

The typical teaching load in CSE is 2 graduate-level classes per
year. Faculty receive contracts of 2-5 years duration, renewable
annually with satisfactory academic performance. NSF, NIH and other
federal research sponsors recognize OGI faculty appointments as being
equivalent to tenured positions.

OGI is located 12 miles west of Portland, Oregon, in the heart of the
Silicon Forest. Portland's thriving high-tech community, extensive
cultural amenities and spectacular natural surroundings combine to
make the quality of life here extraordinary. To learn more about the
department, OGI, OHSU and Portland, please visit www.cse.ogi.edu.

To apply, send a brief description of your research interests, the
names of at least three references, and a curriculum vitae with a list
of publications to:
