[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 Kind regards Guest Editors [apologies for multiple postings] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synthetic Images to Support Computer-Aided Diagnosis Systems https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/pattern-recognition-letters/about/cal… <https://eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com/?d=sciencedirect.com&u=aHR0cHM6L…> 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.

Dear all, We need your help spreading this call to all children around the world to help us design *“Inclusive Technologies.”* We are excited to share details of this year’s Research and Design Challenge (R&DC) associated with the *ACM Interaction Design with Children Conference (**IDC 2024* <https://idc.acm.org/2024/>*)* to be held in* Delft, Netherlands, June 17-20 2024*. The Research and Design Challenge track, as part of the ACM Interaction Design with Children conference (IDC 2024 <https://idc.acm.org/2024/>), aims to hear children’s voices and ideas to inspire researchers to propose and submit their design concepts based on children’s submissions. This track has two phases: - In phase 1, children all over the world are invited to submit their initial ideas in response to the theme *“Inclusive Technologies.”* The deadline for this phase is *January** 31st, 2024*. - In phase 2, we invite everyone, including children, researchers, and designers, to submit a design concept (i.e., prototypes, not actual artefacts) with the same theme, “Inclusive Technologies,” that builds on one or more of the ideas submitted by children in Phase 1. The deadline for this phase is *April 3rd, 2024*. If you have children or know colleagues and relatives with children, you can inform and encourage children and young adults in your family and friends about this opportunity. If you are an educator or researcher working with children and know people who work in schools, spread this call to them. The call is available in several languages on the website <https://idc.acm.org/2024/research-and-design-challenge/> in the format of a PDF flyer. - In English <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-English.p…> - In Portuguese <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-Portugues…> - In German <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-German.pdf> - In Spanish <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-Spanish.p…> - In Italian <https://idc.acm.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Flyer-RDC2024-Italian.p…> *OVERVIEW* This year, the Interaction Design and Children 2024 conference invites children, scholars, designers, and practitioners to participate in this year's Research and Design Challenge (R&DC) under the theme of “Inclusive Technologies”. We invite people from all over the world, of all genders, countries, and needs, to imagine and submit their ideas thinking of the following question – How can we transform existing technologies (educational software, assistive devices, social media platforms, and interactive gaming, robots, computers, and more) to be more inclusive (more balanced, with the same opportunities for all, where everyone is welcome)? *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PHASE 1* In Phase 1 of the Research & Design Challenge, children all over the world are invited to submit their initial ideas in response to the theme “Inclusive Technologies.” Individuals or teams can make submissions from a classroom, after-school program, club, maker space, or combinations from different schools, clubs, towns, or countries. Each individual or team is invited to fill out a simple form with a brief description of their idea along with drawings, pictures or other forms that best express an initial impression of the idea. The ideas received will form the basis for the second phase of the Research & Design Challenge. We accept submissions in any language. To make non-English design ideas understandable for people around the world, we will use translation tools to convert them into English. Submit children's ideas for Phase 1 here: https://tinyurl.com/IDC2024RDC *IMPORTANT DATES (Midnight in Anywhere on Earth – AoE)* - *January 31, 2024: Children's Submissions due* - February 7, 2024: Research & Design Challenge starts - April 3, 2024: Research & Design Challenge due - April 19, 2024: Challenge Finalists Notification - April 29, 2024: Publication-ready submissions due - June 17-20, 2024: IDC Conference *IDC 2024 Research and Design Chairs* Elmira Yadollahi Isabel Neto Lorraine Underwood Janet Read Best wishes, Best wishes, Dhanush

We welcome submissions of both late-stage PhD students (having at least 6 months of work after the conference and before their expected completion), and early-stage PhD students (with at least 6 months of work already performed prior to the submission date). WHY SUBMITTING TO THE CAiSE'24 DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM? The CAiSE'24 Doctoral Consortium will be attended by renowned academics from the Information Systems Engineering field who will actively participate as mentors for the PhD students accepted to the Doctoral Consortium. The participating PhD students will receive constructive reviews on their submission, as well as personalized guidance by Doctoral Consortium mentors regarding their research program and presentation at the Consortium event. Accepted papers will be published in the CEUR proceedings (https://ceur-ws.org/), which are indexed in DBLP. Participants of the CAiSE Doctoral Consortium will be subsequently eligible to submit their PhD thesis (after the degree is granted) for a CAiSE PhD Award. SUBMISSION PROCESS Submissions must be made electronically by the stated deadline via the EasyChair conference system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024 . Each submission should contain (i) a recommendation letter from the student’s PhD advisor, and (ii) a paper describing the research plans and the current status of progress (see more details in the Paper Submission Guidelines section). Submissions must have a single author, but the name of the PhD advisors should be mentioned in the paper (usually in the Acknowledgments section). Submissions should concern original research. All submitted materials must be in English. Attendees must have sufficient proficiency in English for being allowed to participate in the academic discussions of the Consortium. Submissions of both early and late-stage PhD students are welcome. Submissions of early-stage PhD students should concentrate on the selection of the research methods to apply, the realization and contextualization of the relevant literature, the expected pitfalls and ways to mitigate them. Submissions of late-stage PhD students should also include preliminary research results and discuss to some extent conclusions and threats. The recommendation letter from the PhD advisor should include an assessment of the current status of the research, an expected date for the completion of the dissertation, a delineation of the anticipated benefits for the student's participation at the Consortium and details of any submissions associated with the research. PAPER CONTENT AND FORMAT The paper must: • clearly formulate the research questions investigated in the thesis, • identify a significant problem in the field of Information System Engineering, • outline the current status of the problem domain and related solutions, • describe the research methods that are applied or proposed and the expected artifacts, • outline the contributions of the applicant’s work to the problem domain and highlight their uniqueness, • present any preliminary results achieved so far (mainly relevant for late-stage PhD students), • conform to the CEURART template using the 1-column layout format (thus, NOT the Springer LNCS format and NOT in multiple column layouts); the most recent template (including Word and LaTeX) can be downloaded from http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/index.html, • contain up to 4,000 words (including everything, e.g., references, tables, figures). REVIEW PROCESS Each submission will be reviewed by two members of the Doctoral Consortium Mentoring Board. The main evaluation criteria are: relevance, originality, significance, technical soundness, accuracy, clarity and the expected benefits to the student from participating in the Doctoral Consortium. Acceptance is based on the review outcomes. ATTENDANCE AND REGISTRATION FEE The Doctoral Consortium is held in parallel with the main CAiSE conference on 5-7 June 2024. The presentations and decisions are expected to take place in person, so attendance in the entire Doctoral Consortium is required. To facilitate detailed feedback to the participants, attendance to the Doctoral Consortium is by invitation only, limited to the participants and the Mentoring Board. There is no separate registration fee for participants in the Doctoral Consortium. Participants should register to the main conference by selecting either the “Main conference” option or another option that includes the main conference.
