About the Workshop
The goal of this workshop is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for addressing the critical questions on the role of AI for promoting climate justice, with the particular focus on healthcare applications. The workshop will offer a systematic linkage between the recent methodological advances in AI, climate studies, and health sciences, as well as will explore various fundamental challenges that arise when using AI for evaluating equity in health outcomes due to environmental exposure in developing countries.
Workshop Topics
We invite papers in all forms of development and use of AI, machine learning, statistical and other quantitative methods in topics that include: environmental sciences, environmental engineering, environmental monitoring and protection, environmental and climate justice, climate change and health, environmental exposures and health equity, and other relevant topics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Domain-specific metrics for evaluation and integration of AI with environmental, health, and equity data
- Innovative feature engineering to explore the relationship between urban environment, communities, and health outcome
- Using and impact of AI on climate change impacts in Asia
- Assessing AI’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change adaptation
- Novel analysis and modeling approaches to integration of environmental, health, and equity data
- Quantifying uncertainty in equity modeling
- Tackling climate change and environmental justice with machine learning
- Reducing data bias and increasing explainability of AI models for health and environmental justice
- Transfer learning from data rich to data poor environments
- Up and down sampling for data integration across data domains (e.g., health, climate, demographics)
- Ethical issues of predicting climate change impacts
Submission Guidelines
Submissions should be in the form of a 7 pages for the body of the paper and 2 pages for references for proceeding articles, and should be formatted according to the IJCAI conference’s guidelines (https://www.ijcai.org/authors_kit). All submissions will be double-blind reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to scope of the conference, originality, significance, and clarity.
