Call For Papers: The 4th Norwegian Big Data Symposium - NOBIDS 2018

NOBIDS 2018 welcomes the submission of original research and application 
papers dealing with all aspects of Big Data and also the special theme 
"News Automation and Interactivity".
The impact of Big Data and large-scale data infrastructures is now 
visible in science, business, government and civil society. Companies 
store more data than anyone could imagine just a few years back, and the 
proliferation of open linked data has made it possible to share 
well-defined data across organizational and geographical boundaries. Big 
data and data analytics are rapidly expanding research areas that are of 
great importance to both industry and academia. The focus is on scalable 
techniques for intelligent data production, collection, classification, 
storing, integration, analysis and visualization. Big Data is 
multi-disciplinary of nature and is closely linked to industrial 
innovation and value creation.
NOBIDS 2018 focuses on Big Data applications and Big Data research from 
all disciplines. This year NOBIDS has a special focus on news automation 
and interactivity. News automation, in other words automated reporting 
of news or robot journalism, seen as a great help for journalists by 
some people while others think that it will replace journalists. While 
the debate goes on the technological advancements within the domain 
continues to excite the computer scientists and makes the journalists to 
prepare for the future of journalism. News automation deals with big 
amounts of news data in order to create individual stories 
automatically.  Interactivity focuses on the human computer interaction 
in the context of big data and robot journalism. Automatic generation of 
personalized news, chatbots and, any user feedback and interactivity 
based systems are of interest in this context. NOBIDS 2018 aims to bring 
researchers and industry practitioners together to exchange ideas, 
establish collaborations and share experiences within the special theme 
of news automation and interactivity.
