(www.fusion2020.org) was a completely virtual conference.
Congrats to the organizers for successfully switching to the new format!
This year I have co-organized three Special Sessions:
– Context-based Information Fusion
– Explainable AI for Information Fusion
– Intelligence for Situation Understanding and Sense-making
Very interesting discussions! Thanks to all the authors and participants!
Newly proposed this year was the tutorial “Context-enhanced Information Fusion” and I would like to thank Dr. Erik Blasch for co-organizing it and sharing the (virtual) stage with me.
And of course many thanks to my colleagues of the NATO IST-165 RTG on “High-level Fusion of Hard and Soft Information for Intelligence” for the work on the paper “Challenges in automated HUMINT processing for situational assessment”
But probably the most exciting work this year was the collaboration with Dr. Andrea Salfinger on the paper “Towards Neural Situation Evolution Modeling” which applies RNNs and ideas from NLP for the prediction of evolving situations.
