SoGood 2023 -
The 8th Workshop on Data Science for Social Good
22 September 2023
The Eighth Workshop on Data Science for Social Good, SoGood 2023, held in conjunction with ECML PKDD 2023, at Torino, Italy.
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
Access to food, water, sanitation and utilities
Efficiency and sustainability
Climate change
Data journalism
Social and personal development
Economic growth and improved infrastructure
Transportation
Energy
Smart city services
Education
Social services, unemployment and homeless
Healthcare and well-being
Support for people living with disabilities
Responsible consumption and production
Gender equality, discrimination against minorities
Ethical issues, fairness, and accountability.
Trustability and interpretability
The major selection criteria will be the novelty of the application and its social impact. Position and survey 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.
