Call for Joint Workshop on Deep (or Machine) Learning for Safety-Critical Applications in Engineering
by Mariam Kiran 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

Dear All, Apologies for cross postings. *Joint Workshop on Deep (or Machine) Learning for Safety-Critical Applications in Engineering (https://easychair.org/cfp/DISE1 <https://easychair.org/cfp/DISE1>)* This is a Joint Workshop between ICML ( https://icml.cc/Conferences/2018/CallForWorkshops), AAMAS ( http://celweb.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/aamas18/workshopsList/) and IJCAI ( https://www.ijcai-18.org/workshops/). Modern technological advances in engineering fields such as automotive, aerospace, robotic, even data centers and networks, are exploiting machine learning to improve and maintain mission critical activities. These systems are large, complex and require real-time learning with feedback to ensure they function as desired. Detecting anomalies, analyzing failures and predicting future system state are imperative and are becoming part of engineering integrative approaches. Research in algorithmic methods to make real-time decisions based on fast arriving, high-volume condition data, on-site feedback and data models is needed to train machine learning models quickly and correctly. This workshop aims to bring together diverse researchers from areas such as reinforcement learning, autonomous agents, game theory, controls and operations engineering teams to develop approaches which enable real-time discovery, inference and computational tools. These techniques are aimed to influence engineering operations teams in aerospace, self-driving automotive, robotics, data centers and any engineering operations that automate mission-critical and safety applications. We encourage focus on aspects of deep learning to solve problems into domains where continuous training and fast results are needed without jeopardizing prediction accuracy. However, we also encourage exploration of new innovative machine learning approaches, which can solve these problems with improved latency. We are also seeking contributions in advances of streaming and distributed algorithms, heterogeneous and high-dimensional data sets and real-time decision- making algorithms for operations. Some possible topics of interests but not confined are: - *Adaptation*: How can systems learn and adapt to changes in the environment (especially in dynamic environments) when training data is less and requires quick model assumption. How can principles of autonomous agents working together to build large engineering systems be exploited to react in dynamic situations. - *Noisy and poor data sets*: How can machine learning models be trained to understand noisy data sets for quick learning. Missing data exploration? - *Detecting anomalous behavior:* How can anomalies be detected quickly and partitioned appropriately such that correct actions are applied? - *Improving latency:* How can machine learning algorithms be improved to produce results quickly than previously anticipated? - *Improving software and hardware performance:* Exploring models of GPU, HPC processing and FPGAs to improve the performance of algorithms can greatly influence their use in engineering design. Experimental demonstrations are encouraged to display this. - *Reinforcement learning:* How can machine learn correct behavior? Can training be made quicker with guidance to allow algorithms to produce corrective measure when anomalies are detected? - *Human factors:* how can engineers maintaining the system interact with the self- autonomous system - *Open problems in engineering where machine learning is not proving fruitful*. What are the open problems in operations where practical machine learning is difficult to apply? What are the limitations and how can these be improved? Workshop dates will be between 14th and 15th of July 2018, located as part of Joint IJCAI/ECAI/AAMAS/ICML Call for Workshops. Specific dates will be announced soon. Important dates: -------------------------- - Submission deadline: 28th May, 2018, 23:59 (PDT) - Author notification: 15th June, 2018 - Camera-ready (final) paper deadline: 1st July, 2018 - Workshop: 14th or 15th July, 2018 (To be confirmed) Submission Guidelines: -------------------------------- The abstract and paper submission deadline is the 28th of May 2018.

PhD position in France

Please distribute in your networks the PhD position below. Title: Robust topology optimization under uncertainty – application to automotive brake systems Location: LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201, University de Valenciennes, Le Mont Houy, 59313 Valenciennes Cedex 9, France. Supervisor staff: El-ghazali Talbi, CRIStAL UMR CNRS 9189 Université de Lille/INRIA Lille Nord Europe ; Thierry Tison, LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201, Université de Valenciennes; Franck Massa, LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201, Université de Valenciennes Keywords: Topology optimization; Uncertainty; Surrogate models; Metaheuristic; Evolutionary algorithms; Numerical methods Project description: Optimization under uncertainty aims at accounting for the observed variability of some model parameters in order to tend to robust and reliable designs. The integration of multiple uncertain parameter, for example relative to a topology, a topography or boundary conditions, relies on the use or the coupling of different theories (probability, interval, fuzzy …) for a successful representation of the observed evolutions. In engineering, investigated problems lead to large time consuming mathematical problems associated to the objective and state functions. Generally, they are addressed by considering the finite element method. To solve this kind of problem, numerical strategies based on parallel calculations, surrogate models and metaheuristic algorithms (Evolutionary algorithms) are necessary. Moreover, a multi-objective formulation must be considered to guarantee the robustness of the optimal solutions. Research in optimization is a fundamental field for all the engineering domains to answer the new environmental requirements. The optimization method, proposed in this project, will be applied to investigate brake squeal phenomenon. Indeed, the reduction of environmental acoustic pollution is a major concern for automotive manufacturers. These last years, several research works revealed the interest for uncertain stability analysis used to simulate squeal. Among the already studied parameters, the variability of the topography of contact surfaces seems to be the most sensitive parameter. To tend to a robust design, it is essential to integrate the spatial uncertainty during the design step of the brake components. The objective of this multidisciplinary thesis project is to develop a topology optimization strategy under topographical uncertainty for dynamic stability problems.

The scale of cloud computing data centers is similar to the supercomputers used in High Performance Computing. Both involve millions of CPU cores, tens of thousands of accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs connected by high speed interconnects and different connection topologies. Studies have shown that the GPU utilization in HPC is often at 50%. Virtualization can be the key to increasing resource utilization and managing massive infrastructures efficiently. GPU vendors have introduced virtualized versions of GPUs. FPGAs are being deployed in virtual infrastructure. These and other developments in the field, along with future exascale systems, will provide increasing degree of virtualization within the systems. The goal of this session is to be an opportunity to discuss and exchange research on the different virtualization technologies and how they can be efficiently applied in High Performance Computing.

PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES 2018 (PSD 2018) ================================================ *** CALL FOR PAPERS: HARD SUBMISSION DEADLINE MAY 27, 2018*** Valencia, Spain, Sep. 26-28, 2018 http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2018 1. AIMS AND GOALS----------------- Privacy in statistical databases is about finding tradeoffs to the tension between the increasing societal and economical demand for accurate information and the legal and ethical obligation to protect the privacy of individuals and enterprises which are the respondents providing the statistical data. In the case of statistical databases, the motivation for respondent privacy is one of survival: statistical agencies or survey institutes cannot expect to collect accurate information from individual or corporate respondents unless these feel the privacy of their responses is guaranteed. Beyond respondent privacy, there are two additional privacy dimensions to be considered: privacy for the data owners (organizations owning or gathering the data, who would not like to share the data they have collected at great expense) and privacy for the users (those who submit queries to the database and would like their analyses to stay private). Co-utility has shown to provide sustainable solutions to user privacy. "Privacy in Statistical Databases 2018" (PSD 2018) is a conference sponsored and organized by the UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy (http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat) with proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The purpose of PSD 2018 is to attract world-wide, high-level research in statistical database privacy. PSD 2018 is a successor to PSD 2016 (Dubrovnik, Sep. 14-16, 2016 https://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2016/), PSD 2014 (Eivissa, Sep. 17-19, 2014, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2014/), PSD 2012 (Palermo, Sep. 26-28, 2012, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2012), PSD 2010 (Corfu, Sep. 22-24, 2010, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2010), PSD 2008 (Istanbul, Sep. 24-26, 2008, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2008), PSD 2006 (Rome, Dec. 13-15, 2006, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2006) and PSD 2004 (Barcelona, June 9-11, 2004, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2004), all with proceedings published by Springer in LNCS 9867, LNCS 8744, LNCS 7556, LNCS 6344, LNCS 5262, LNCS 4302 and LNCS 3050, respectively. Those eight PSD conferences follow a tradition of high-quality technical conferences on SDC which started with "Statistical Data Protection-SDP'98", held in Lisbon in 1998 and with proceedings published by OPOCE, and continued with the AMRADS project SDC Workshop, held in Luxemburg in 2001 and with proceedings published in Springer LNCS 2316. Like the aforementioned preceding conferences, PSD 2018 originates in Europe, but wishes to stay a worldwide event in database privacy and SDC. Thus, contributions and attendees from overseas are welcome. 2.
