Fwd: Call for Submissions for Notre Dame's RISE AI Conference

[Rick Johnson]

Hi All,

  I have been a watcher of this list since I moved from the libraries into a data science institute here at Notre Dame a few years ago.  That said, I want to share the call for papers below due March 15th for the interdisciplinary RISE AI conference we are convening in October.  I would of course love to reconnect with old (and new) colleagues if you are interested in joining the event.

Best,

Rick
