The prize is endowed with 900 euros for the winner; winner and finalist will also receive an accrediting diploma. The following criteria will be taken into account in the evaluation: - The innovation of the contributions presented in the Thesis, as well as the experimental validation of the results. - The number and quality of the (accepted) publications that have emerged from the PhD that have as authors both the student and supervisor. The jury will be composed of an equal number of Spanish and Portuguese experts. Students can submit their application by completing the form accessible at the URL https://bit.ly/2WqoAiV attaching the PhD in PDF format and the graduation certificate. NOTE For Spanish participants The participant must be a SEIDROB student member for the year 2019. The advisor must be an individual SEIDROB member or, alternatively, his/her institution must be an institutional partner. To become a SEIDROB member, please follow the instructions at the web page https://seidrob.es/en/inscripcion/ For Portuguese participants The participant or his/her advisor must be a SPR member for the year 2019.

Such human-centred AI systems should be able to operate in the physcal world of humans, to collaborate with humans, and to explain their behaviour to humans. In order to allow their seamless integration with humans, it is paramount that these systems are properly evaluated. Being able to evaluate and measure the performance and properties of AI systems is in general an important open problem. For human-centered AI systems, this problem is further complicated by the fact that such systems often integrate different AI paradigms and methods, and they interact with the humans and with the physical world. OBJECTIVES This workshop is devoted to the discussion of methods and tools to evaluate human-centered AI systems. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: - development of AI techniques supporting human-AI collaboration - performance evaluation through competitions - benchmarking of human-centered AI systems - formal verification of human-centered AI systems - empirical evaluation of human robot interaction - measures for AI systems CONTRIBUTIONS Interested participants must submit an extended abstract reporting work relevant to the workshop's themes. Reports of work in progress and reports of recently published work are acceptable. Abstracts should be between 500 and 1500 words in length, in free format, and must include the name, affiliation and contact information of all authors. Abstracts must be submitted as PDF files via easychair at the following URL: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ebhais2019 Contributions will be selected on the basis of relevance, quality and expected impact. Accepted contributions will be published on the Symposium website. IMPORTANT DATES - Abstract submission: July 19, 2019 - Notification of acceptance: July 29, 2019 - Final version due: August 30, 2019 - Workshop: September 20, 2019 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS - Alessandro Saffiotti - Daniele Nardi The workshop is co-organized by SciRoc.eu (Smart CIty RObotic Challenge) and by AI4EU.eu (Building the European AI on-demand Platform), both funded by the EC under the H2020 programme. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From tiagopn ieee.org Sat Jul 27 00:23:35 2019 From: tiagopn ieee.org (Tiago DoNascimento) Date: Sat Jul 27 00:23:53 2019 Subject: [socios-spr] =?utf-8?q?=5Bmultirobotsystems=5D_=5Bjobs=5D_Call_f?= =?utf-8?q?or_Visiting_Professor_in_Mobile_Robotics_and_Embedded_Sy?= =?utf-8?q?stems_at_the_Informatics_Center_of_the_Federal_Universit?= =?utf-8?q?y_of_Para=C3=ADba_=28Brazil=29?= In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: We are looking for Assistant, Associate or Full Professor Candidates to join the Laboratory of Systems Engineering and Robotics (LaSER) and the Informatics Post-Graduation Program at the Federal University of Paraíba - Brazil (UFPB), in the City of João Pessoa - PB - Brazil , for a period of 1 year (renewable for one more).
