SoGood 2020 -
The Fifth Workshop on Data Science for Social Good, SoGood 2020, will take place in Ghent, Belgium, associated to ECML PKDD 2020, in September 2020.
The workshop intends to attract papers on how Data Science can and does contribute to social good in its widest sense.
Topics of interest include:
Government transparency and IT against corruption
Public safety and disaster relief
Public policies in epidemic growth and related issues
Access to food, water, and utilities
Efficiency and sustainability
Data journalism
Economic, social and personal development
Transportation
Energy
Smart city services
Education
Social services, unemployment and homelessness
Healthcare
Ethical issues, fairness and accountability
Trustability and interpretability
The major selection criteria will be the novelty of the application and its social impact. Position papers are welcome too.
We are also interested in applications that have built a successful business model and are able to sustain themselves economically. Most Social Good applications have been carried out by non-profit and charity organisations, conveying the idea that Social Good is a luxury that only societies with a surplus can afford. We would like to hear from successful projects, which may not be strictly "non-profit" but have Social Good as their main focus.
Accepted papers will be published by Springer as joint proceedings of several ECML PKDD workshops.

Workshop paper/project submission deadline: June 11th June 18th, 2020 (extended)
