3rd Working Group Meeting – Call For Abstracts

One of the goals of the 3rd Working Group Meeting (WGM3) was to present the results of the work with a list of synthetic dataset. These studies will stimulate the creation of synergies among the participants in the Action.

We invite scientific publications up to six pages, which may be submitted in PDF via the Easychair system below:

Abstract submission

Authors are requested to follow the formatting instructions for the Springer LNCS style

(https://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0)

Deadline: The deadline for submitting the shows of interests and an abstract will be September 2nd.

The study of the challenge that annually DFRWS proposes could be interesting. For that, the constitution of a multidisciplinar research group for solving this challenge can be very interesting for the Action.

Goal: Create multidisciplinar research groups among the participants in the Action in order to apply the mathematical, AI and AR tools in order to find a solution to the challenge of the next year.

Besides this problem, other datasets have been proposed. The goal for the next datasets is the following: Individual research groups with competences to study one or several dataset will select at least one and it will present its results during WGM3.

Janus-C

The IARPA Janus Benchmark-C face challenge (IJB-C) defines eight challenges addressing verification, identification, detection, clustering, and processing of full motion videos. This

is supported by the IJB-C set of 138000 face images, 11000 face videos, and 10000 non-face images. This dataset can be requested at the links below:

Kaggle Paysim1 (payment simulator)

Synthetic Financial Datasets For Fraud Detection.

Synthetic datasets generated by the PaySim mobile money simulator. PaySim  uses aggregated data from the private dataset to generate a synthetic dataset that resembles the normal operation of transactions and injects malicious behaviour to later evaluate the performance of fraud detection methods.
