[CFP] Pattern Recognition Letters, Special Issue on Synthetic Images to Support Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems

by Andrea Loddo

Dear colleagues, Please find enclosed the call for papers for our Special Issue. *IMPORTANT*: The *submission period* *is approaching!* Please accept our apologies for the multiple postings. Synthetic Images to Support Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems – Call for Papers https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/pattern-recognition-letters/about/cal… <https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com/?d=sciencedirect.com&u=aHR0cHM6L…> *IMPORTANT DATES* *- Submission Period: 1-31 July 2024* - Acceptance Deadline: *9 December 2024* *DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE* Today's health systems collect and deliver most medical data in digital format, mainly thanks to the scientific and technological advances that have led to digitization and increased generation and collection of data describing real-world applications or processes. The availability of medical data enables a large number of artificial intelligence applications, and there is growing interest in quantitative analysis of clinical images, such as Positron Emission Tomography, Computerized Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. In addition, machine and deep learning models and data-driven artificial intelligence applications have proven to improve the management and decision-making to improve the discovery of new therapeutic tools, support diagnostic decisions, aid in the rehabilitation process, etc. Despite the potential of data-driven solutions, many problems prevent or delay the development of such solutions. For example, the increasing amount of available data can lead to increased effort to make a diagnosis and is even more challenging due to high inter/intra patient variability, the availability of different imaging techniques, the absence of completely standard acquisition procedures, and the need to consider data from multiple sensors and sources. Additional relevant issues are data access and the representativeness of the captured sample compared to the actual population. Access to real data may be delayed or even prevented for various reasons, such as privacy, security, and intellectual property, or the development of the necessary (quality) acquisition and preparation technology. Sample representativeness is another critical issue involving class imbalance and the representation of rare and extreme events, which is crucial for the performance of artificial intelligence models. For these reasons, researchers have recently explored the use of synthetic data (SD) with three different use cases regarding (i) data augmentation to balance data sets or supplement available data before training a model, (ii) privacy preservation to enable secure and private sharing of sensitive data; and (iii) simulation: to estimate and teach systems in situations that have not been observed in actual reality. The main goals of this special issue are to bring together diverse, new, and impactful research on synthetic data generation for biomedical imaging with a powerful impact on Computer-Aided Diagnosis systems for real-world clinical applications. *TOPICS* Topics of interest to this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Synthetic Images for Privacy-Preserving Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems - Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems Training with Synthetic Images - Synthetic Images for Benchmarking Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems - Medical Image Translation - Text-guided Medical Image Generation - Multimodal Medical Image Generation - Synthetic Images for Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems Domain Adaptation - Synthetic Images for Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems Domain Generalisation *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* The PRL's submission system (Editorial Manager®) will be open for submissions to our Special Issue from July 1st, 2024. When submitting your manuscript, please select the article type VSI: SISCAD.

Dining involves interactions with food, where smells, colors, sounds, and textures contribute to a multisensory experience; likewise, the table becomes a focal point for social interaction, with non verbal cues and conversations being indispensable elements of the event. This workshop aims to explore how interactive, immersive, and otherwise emergent technology can enrich eating experiences. The other aim is to build an interdisciplinary community around the topics of related to commensality and human-food interaction, with special focus on the role of multimodal interaction among commensal partners sharing food, being humans or artificial dining companions (such as social robots). We aim to collect novel contributions that explore how technology can enhance, facilitate, or make these experiences more enjoyable. ====== TOPICS ====== Topics of Interest include but are not limited to: • Multimodal interaction in commensal setting • Commensal activity recognition • Cultural aspects of commensality • Artificial agents (social robots, virtual companions) in commensality setting • Interactive technology for sustainable. healthy eating and well-being • Tele- and remote dining • Food and eating as playful experience • Commensality and food interaction in digital (VR/AR) spaces • Critical human-food interaction design and research • Food, interactive tech, and sustainability • Multimodal food perception • Tracking edible objects • Designing cross-cultural food and commensal interactions • Sensory augmentation for novel eating experience • Gamification in Human-Food Interaction (HFI) and commensality • Personalizing eating experiences • Eating as a multisensory experience • Computational models of commensals interaction • Commensality and Food in Social Media • Social AI and commensal practices ============ SUBMISSIONS ============ We encourage the submission of original contributions, investigating novel methodologies to build creative systems and algorithms for commensality and HFI. The call is open for both complete and ongoing works, research ideas and the position papers, especially interdisciplinary contributions in line with the main goals of the workshop. In particular, authors can submit: (A) Long papers (max. 7 pages + references – ACM format); (B) Short/Position/Discussion papers (max 4 pages + references – ACM format); Submission Site https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cofi2024 <https://urlsand.esvalabs.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fconferences%2…> ACM formats: https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions <https://urlsand.esvalabs.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acm.org%2Fpublications%2F…> All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least two members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, relevance, and technical quality.
