[Deadline Extended] 2nd Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases (June 10 2025, Pisa, Italy - co-located with HHAI25) - Call for Abstracts
by c.natali6＠campus.unimib.it 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call) -------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS Second Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases Co-located with the 4th International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI25) June 10, 2025 | Pisa, Italy (in-person) https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home -------------------------------------------------- **Workshop Overview** Building on the success of its first edition at HHAI 2024, the full-day workshop on "Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases" advances the exploration of over-reliance and biases in Human-AI Interaction. Central to this discussion are approaches that intentionally introduce moments of cognitive effort and reflection into AI interactions to prevent passive or automatic reliance. While conventional AI design prioritises efficiency and seamlessness, this workshop invites participants to examine AI systems that strategically slow down decision-making when necessary to mitigate automation bias, cognitive offloading, and over-trust, ultimately fostering accuracy, responsibility, and human oversight. Such friction-in-design encompasses strategies that encourage users to reflect before acting, such as requiring justification before accepting AI recommendations, displaying confidence scores with uncertainty visualisations, or using explainability mechanisms that slow decision-making to reinforce human oversight. This workshop fosters interdisciplinary dialogue across AI research, cognitive science, HCI, and governance to ensure AI systems empower users rather than encourage unchecked reliance. The program will feature keynote presentations by leading experts in academia and industry, author presentations, and interactive discussions to advance the discourse on cognitively engaging and responsible AI design. Keynote speakers include: • Prof. Federico Cabitza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) – Expert in AI-assisted decision-making and medical AI. • Bart Van Leeuwen (Fire Services Expert, Netherlands) – Expert in human factors and situational awareness in high-risk environments. **Topics of Interest** We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on topics including, but not limited to: • Design principles for cognitive engagement • Measuring and mitigating automation bias, algorithmic aversion, and cognitive offloading • Ethical and governance perspectives on Friction-in-Design • Applications, Case Studies and Experimental Findings We encourage submissions from a variety of disciplines, including AI, HCI, cognitive science, law, philosophy, and beyond. **Submission Details** • Types of Submissions: Extended Abstracts (500-1,000 words) • Format: CEURART-WS (see workshop website for template) • Submission Portal: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FrictionalAIWorkshop2025 • Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published in the HHAI 2025 Workshop Proceedings on CEUR-WS. Authors of accepted contributions are required to attend the workshop in-person and register to the HHAI25 conference (single-day registration soon available, check the conference website for updates: https://hhai-conference.org/2025/) **Important Dates** • Paper Submission Deadline (Extended): April 11, 2025 (AoE) • Notification of Acceptance: May 2, 2025 • Camera-Ready Submission: TBD (authors will be invited to expand their contributions following workshop discussions) • Workshop Date: June 10, 2025 **Beyond the Workshop** Our aim is to foster a research network. Authors from all editions, if desired, will be invited to participate in future initiatives, including knowledge exchanges, collaborative publications, special journal issues, and online lecture series. **Organising & Programme Committee** • Chiara Natali (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy & SUPSI, IDSIA, Switzerland) • Mohammad Naiseh (Bournemouth University, UK) • Brett Frischmann (Villanova University, USA) • Programme Committee: full list available at https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home For more information, visit our website: https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home

Computational Humanities Research 2025 | Call for Papers
by pc＠computational-humanities-research.org 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 2025 edition of the Computational Humanities Research Conference (CHR 2025), which will take place on December 9–12, 2025, at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) at the University of Luxembourg. In recent years, the arts and humanities have seen a significant increase in the use of computational, statistical, and mathematical approaches. This kind of research is distinguished by its reliance on formal methods and the development of explicit, computational models—ranging from quantitative and statistical techniques to broader computational methods for processing and analyzing data, as well as theoretical reflections on these approaches. Despite the growing prominence of this field, many scholars still struggle to find suitable venues where they can present and publish computational work while maintaining a strong connection to traditional humanities inquiry. This is precisely the gap that the CHR conference seeks to address. More specifically, the conference has two key goals: - Building an inclusive community of researchers who apply computational and quantitative methods to humanities data in all its forms. We see this community as complementary to the broader digital humanities landscape and actively encourage participation from scholars with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities—including those from underrepresented groups, different academic paths, and anyone bringing fresh perspectives to computational humanities. - Promoting good research practices by sharing "research stories." This includes fostering transparency and reproducibility through open code and data, supporting pre-registered research designs to clarify theoretical frameworks and methodologies, and rethinking peer review processes to better accommodate interdisciplinary work that blends computational methods with humanities-driven questions. The deadline for full paper submissions is July 18, 2025. For further details, please consult the full Call for Papers [here.](https://2025.computational-humanities-research.org/cfp/) If you have any questions, special requirements, or concerns, feel free to reach out to the organizers at [[email protected]](https://mailto:[email protected]/) or engage with us on the [Discourse forum](https://discourse.computational-humanities-research.org/). Kind regards, The Programme Chairs: Taylor Arnold Margherita Fantoli Ruben Ros
