SUMMARY:RetroEVAL2026: Symposium on Natural Language Generation Evaluations
DESCRIPTION:Evaluation in the field of Natural Language Generation (NLG) has changed considerably over the past several decades. This special symposium in honour of Prof. Ehud Reiter’s retirement provides a forum for academic and industry researchers to look back on the topic of how evaluations in the field of NLG have changed and to explore unaddressed challenges. The two day symposium will be held in-person at the Sir Duncan Rice Library in the historic University of Aberdeen\, June 1-2\, 2026. For this symposium\, we welcome submissions of long papers\, short papers\, and extended abstracts.\nEvent site –  https://retroeval.github.io/\nRegistration – https://www.tickettailor.com/events/sicsa/2203784\n

SUMMARY:EASE 2026: International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering
DESCRIPTION:EASE is an internationally leading venue for academics and practitioners to present and discuss their research on evidence-based software engineering\, and its implications for software practice. EASE is ranked as A conference in CORE. The 30th edition of EASE will take place in Glasgow\, Scotland. \nEASE 2026 welcomes high-quality submissions\, describing original and unpublished research for the following tracks: full research papers\, short papers & emerging results\, industry\, posters & vision\, journal-first\, and a doctoral symposium. There will also be co-located events\, including workshops and tutorials\, and a track planned for journal-first presentations. \nSee conference website for submission tracks and deadlines. \nEASE 2026

SUMMARY:SICSA Seminar - Data-Driven Modelling and Multi-Objective Optimisation in Support of Net Zero Operations
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend \nJoin us on Monday 15 June for an AI & Data Science Seminar. \nDr Ciprian Zavoianu of Robert Gordon University presents \nData-Driven Modelling and Multi-Objective Optimisation in Support of Net Zero Operations \nIn the ComplexOpt research group at RGU we specialise in coupling state-of-the-art non-linear optimisation techniques with efficient scenario-dependent operational simulations to design automated design space exploration techniques that can be applied to various net zero projects\, providing decision-makers with optimal solutions and trade-offs suitable for secondary in-depth analysis. Whilst usually requiring high-performance or high-throughput computing resources\, this AI-driven search for optimality generally improves attainable KPIs and drives an overall reduction of design and prototyping times.  \nOver the years\, we have successfully applied this generic simulation-optimisation approach to tackle complex real-life problems aligned with the transition to net zero at various levels: individual components (e.g.\, robust designing in mechatronics)\, energy assets (e.g.\, optimising wind farm cable layouts)\, and complex systems (e.g.\, maximising the impact of introducing low emission vehicles in multi-modal transport systems\, optimising a just transition of the workforce across legacy and new energy projects). \nDr Ciprian Zavoianu is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Computing Engineering and Technology at RGU and leads the Net Zero Operations research programme in the National Subsea Centre where his research interests for the past 10+ years have included theoretical and practical concepts of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

SUMMARY:S3CIX 2026 - Symposium and Summer School on Computational Interaction
DESCRIPTION:Registration for the 10th Symposium and Summer School on Computational Interaction will open 1 February and close 14 March 2026. \nView programme\, event details and registration process at S³CIX 2026. \nThis year S³CIX is expanding from a Summer School format to also include a 4 day long academic Symposium. We anticipate about 30 students and 40 academics and invited speakers to attend. There will also be two workshops. \nComputational interaction often involves elements from machine learning\, signal processing\, information theory\, optimisation\, inference\, control theory and formal modelling. Computational interaction would typically involve at least one of: \n\nan explicit mathematical model of user-system behaviour;\na way of updating that model with observed data from users;\nan algorithmic element that\, using this model\, can directly synthesise or adapt the design;\na way of automating and instrumenting the modelling and design process;\nthe ability to simulate or synthesise elements of the expected user-system behaviour.”
