Explores the role of media in the construction of cultural identities.Globalization, Cultural Identities, and Media Representations provides a multidirectional approach for understanding the role of media in constructing cultural identities in a newly globalized media environment. The contributors cover a wide range of topics from different geopolitical areas, historical periods, and media genres. Case studies examined include the shift from print to Internet, local representations of modern world cinema and glo/cal television, narrative strategies in transnational literature, and cultural economics of the mediation of world music in India, China, Algeria, Israel, Europe, and the United States. This case study approach allows for deeper insights into the complexity of each cultural subsystem as part of the whole media culture system. This book exemplifies a transcultural and transdisciplinary dialogue that maps out new-relocalized-territories and borders for mediated cultural identities and also reveals the complexity and connectedness of all of these discourses.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the workshops Nemesis, UrbReas, SoGood, IWAISe, and Green Data Mining, held at the 18th European Conference on Machine Learning and Knowledge Discovery in Databases, ECML PKDD 2018, in Dublin, Ireland, in September 2018. The 20 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 32 submissions. The workshops included are:Nemesis 2018: First Workshop on Recent Advances in Adversarial Machine LearningUrbReas 2018: First International Workshop on Urban Reasoning from Complex Challenges in CitiesSoGood 2018: Third Workshop on Data Science for Social GoodIWAISe 2018: Second International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in SecurityGreen Data Mining 2018: First International Workshop on Energy Efficient Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery

1 “Change is inevitable.” Embracing this quote we have tried to carefully exp- iment with the format of this conference, the 15th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming, hopefully making it even better than it already was. But it will be up to you, the inquisitive reader of this book, to judge our success. The major changes comprised broadening the scope of the conference to include more diverse forms of non-propositional learning, to once again have tutorials on exciting new areas, and, for the ?rst time, to also have a discovery challenge as a platform for collaborative work. This year the conference was co-located with ICML 2005, the 22nd Inter- tional Conference on Machine Learning, and also in close proximity to IJCAI 2005, the 19th International Joint Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence. - location can be tricky, but we greatly bene?ted from the local support provided by Codrina Lauth, Michael May, and others. We were also able to invite all ILP and ICML participants to shared events including a poster session, an invited talk, and a tutorial about the exciting new area of “statistical relational lea- ing”. Two more invited talks were exclusively given to ILP participants and were presented as a kind of stock-taking—?ttingly so for the 15th event in a series—but also tried to provide a recipe for future endeavours.

Was genau ist eigentlich künstliche Intelligenz – und wie verändert sie unser Leben?Dieses Buch beantwortet hundert Fragen zur Funktionsweise, zu Chancen und Risiken sowie zu den gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen von künstlicher Intelligenz – klar, prägnant und verständlich. Die Herausforderungen sind vielfältig: KI wirft Fragen nach Fairness, Verantwortung und Transparenz auf, sie stellt uns vor ethische Dilemmata, technische Grenzen und kulturelle Unterschiede. Gleichzeitig entwickelt sich das Feld so rasant, dass viele Antworten schnell überholt wirken könnten.Müssen wir uns vor KI fürchten? Warum macht sie Fehler? Kann sie bessere Entscheidungen treffen als Menschen? Kann ein Computerprogramm intelligent, kreativ oder gar bewusst sein? Dies sind nur einige der Fragen, die dieses Buch aufgreift. Auf witzige und unterhaltsame Art liefert das Werk Denkanstöße, sorgt für Aha-Momente und bietet Orientierung in einem komplexen, oft missverstandenen Themenfeld. Statt erschöpfender Abhandlungen finden die Leserinnen und Leser hier leicht zugängliche Antworten, die sich sowohl zum schnellen Nachschlagen als auch für vertieftes Nachdenken eignen. Die Texte sind wissenschaftlich fundiert, beruhen auf jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung und eröffnen klischeefrei neue, klare Perspektiven.
