The nascent but rapidly growing field of Quantum Information Science and Technology has led to an increased demand for skilled quantum workers and an opportunity to build a diverse workforce at the outset. In order to meet this demand and…
This volume contains the final and revised versions of the papers presented at the 7th International Workshop on Automated Specification and Verification of Web Systems (WWV 2011). The workshop was held in Reykjavik, Iceland, on June 9,…
We introduce UViM, a unified approach capable of modeling a wide range of computer vision tasks. In contrast to previous models, UViM has the same functional form for all tasks; it requires no task-specific modifications which require…
Understanding different types of users' needs can even be more critical in today's data visualization field, as exploratory visualizations for novice users are becoming more widespread with an increasing amount of data sources. The…
The implicit and explicit biases built into our computing systems are becoming increasingly clear -- they impact everything from targeting of advertisements to how we are identified as people. These biases disproportionately affect…
This is an extended abstract for a presentation at The 17th International Conference on CUPUM - Computational Urban Planning and Urban Management in June 2021. This study presents an interdisciplinary synthesis of the state-of-the-art…
We discuss a number of new initiatives and events since 2020 which we hope will contribute to advancement of equity issues within the physics community in Canada. A recent analysis of high-school data shows that men are still…
Citizen Science is research undertaken by professional scientists and members of the public collaboratively. Despite numerous benefits of citizen science for both the advancement of science and the community of the citizen scientists, there…
With the advent of state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning technologies, several industries are moving towards the field. Applications of such technologies are highly diverse ranging from natural language processing to computer…
This report summarizes the 4th International Verification of Neural Networks Competition (VNN-COMP 2023), held as a part of the 6th Workshop on Formal Methods for ML-Enabled Autonomous Systems (FoMLAS), that was collocated with the 35th…
In many real world applications, the information of an object can be obtained from multiple sources. The sources may provide different point of views based on their own origin. As a consequence, conflicting pieces of information are…
We present the WoodScape fisheye semantic segmentation challenge for autonomous driving which was held as part of the CVPR 2021 Workshop on Omnidirectional Computer Vision (OmniCV). This challenge is one of the first opportunities for the…
In 2021, INFORMS, ACM SIGAI, and the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) hosted three workshops to explore synergies between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Operations Research (OR) to improve decision-making. The workshops aimed to…
Recent research in deep learning methodology has led to a variety of complex modelling techniques in computer vision (CV) that reach or even outperform human performance. Although these black-box deep learning models have obtained…
We have designed an online survey to understand the status quo of four dimensions of gender biases among the contemporary computing organizations. Our preliminary results found almost one-third of the respondents have reported first-hand…
Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer affecting women today. As the early detection of cervical carcinoma relies heavily upon screening and pre-clinical testing, digital cervicography has great potential as a primary or…
We present an analysis of the representation of gender as a data dimension in data visualizations and propose a set of considerations around visual variables and annotations for gender-related data. Gender is a common demographic dimension…
Context: Gender inequality is a widely discussed issue across various sectors, including Information Technology and Communication (ICT). In Brazil, women represent less than 18% of ICT students in higher education. Prior studies highlight…
Concerns about representation in computing within the U.S. have driven numerous activities to broaden participation. Assessment of the impact of these efforts and, indeed, a clear assessment of the actual "problem" being addressed are…
Computer vision models have known performance disparities across attributes such as gender and skin tone. This means during tasks such as classification and detection, model performance differs for certain classes based on the demographics…
