Abstract: The carbon footprint of academic conferences becomes a topic of increasing debate. It is important to consider whether the benefits derived from attending conferences in person outweigh the community's carbon footprint. Therefore, we need to evaluate the overall ecological consequences in relation to the perceived advantages. To that extent, we conducted a post-conference questionnaire survey among participants of the 44th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) 2022 in Pittsburgh, USA, seeking their feedback about the conference and experience from a sustainability perspective. In total, 53 participants filled out our survey. Overall, 8 of 42 respondents felt that the community's carbon footprint was not offset by the benefits of in-person attendance.

Position: The Current AI Conference Model is Unsustainable! Diagnosing the Crisis of Centralized AI Conference [40.15553977578515]
This paper offers a data-driven diagnosis of a structural crisis that threatens the foundational goals of scientific dissemination, equity, and community well-being.<n>We identify four key areas of strain: (1) scientifically, with per-author publication rates more than doubling over the past decade to over 4.5 papers annually; (2) environmentally, with the carbon footprint of a single conference exceeding the daily emissions of its host city; and (3) psychologically, with 71% of online community discourse reflecting negative sentiment and 35% referencing mental health concerns.<n>In response, we propose the Community-Federated Conference (CFC) model, which separates peer review, presentation,

COVID-19 Imposes Rethinking of Conferencing -- Environmental Impact Assessment of Artificial Intelligence Conferences [0.0]
This is the first time that systematic quantification of a state-of-the-art subject like Artificial Intelligence takes place to define its conferencing footprint in the broader frames of environmental awareness. Alternatives to optimal conferences' location selection have demonstrated savings on air-travelling CO2 emissions of up to 63.9%.

Surveying (Dis)Parities and Concerns of Compute Hungry NLP Research [75.84463664853125]
We provide a first attempt to quantify concerns regarding three topics, namely, environmental impact, equity, and impact on peer reviewing. We capture existing (dis)parities between different and within groups with respect to seniority, academia, and industry. We devise recommendations to mitigate found disparities, some of which already successfully implemented.

5th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW) Competition is part of the respective ABAW Workshop which will be held in conjunction with IEEE Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR), 2023. For this year's Competition, we feature two corpora: i) an extended version of the Aff-Wild2 database and ii) the Hume-Reaction dataset. The latter dataset is an audiovisual one in which reactions of individuals to emotional stimuli have been annotated with respect to seven emotional expression intensities.

We quantify the carbon footprint of BLOOM, a 176-billion parameter language model, across its life cycle. We estimate that BLOOM's final training emitted approximately 24.7 tonnes ofcarboneqif we consider only the dynamic power consumption. We conclude with a discussion regarding the difficulty of precisely estimating the carbon footprint of machine learning models.
