- International Workshop on Active Inference
ECML-PKDD Workshop on Automating Data Science (ADS2021)
Progress in data science automation can have important implications for a democratisation of data science and related disciplines such as machine learning and statistics. This is especially critical as the diversity of data and techniques in these areas is accelerating, and data scientists are in urgent need for more powerful tools helping them in the data science process. While there has been significant progress in the core stages of the process, exemplified by the success of AutoML, other areas, such as data understanding, data preparation, and deployment still need fundamental research breakthroughs to really make a significant impact on data science automation overall. The workshop will cover all areas of data science automation, but will especially welcome research that focuses on steps before and after modelling, deals with “messy data”, or extends the AutoML paradigm beyond supervised tasks.
The program will consists of invited talks, a panel discussion, contributed talks and spotlights, and a poster session. As the meeting will be virtual, we will encourage interaction via Q&A after talks, in the panel discussion, and in the poster session. The workshop would be the third in a series, following on from Dagstuhl (2018) and ECML-PKDD (2019).

International workshop on Fair, Effective And Sustainable Talent management using data science
The job market of the 21st century poses a set of unique challenges. Automation through AI and other disruptive technologies will result in unprecedented shocks in the job market, with entire job categories disappearing while new types of jobs requiring new skills and competencies will emerge. While such shifts in the job market have happened before, the impact of the ongoing revolution may be larger and will unfold much faster than it did in the previous industrial revolutions. To mitigate the impact of this disruption, large parts of the workforce will need upskilling and retraining in a matter of years, and continuously thereafter.
The FEAST workshop aims to address the challenges of the contemporary job market and human resources management by means of data-driven solutions that better enable all relevant stakeholders to achieve their goals in a fair, effective, and sustainable manner, including the job seekers, employers, HR agencies, HR managers, policy makers and government agencies, training facilities, and more. The challenges for which data science can make a genuine difference are numerous: Workers need better job recommendations and career advice; Employers need better HR and recruitment strategies, with due consideration of ethical constraints; Policy makers need to understand how to regulate the job market to ensure efficiency, fairness, and inclusion; And much more.
