Advances in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are profoundly transforming economically advanced nations. Unfortunately, Africa is still lagging behind in these technological developments. If this technology gap is not closed, it would foster algorithmic biais, disparities in access to data and information, and lead to growing inequity between countries.
However, despite the barriers, Africa presents many opportunities. In fact, private and crowdsourced datasets from different sources are becoming available in many African countries. In the other hand, Data Science and AI-related skills are being democratized and talents are emerging.
The aim of this workshop is to encourage researchers from Data Science and AI communities and researchers from other backgrounds, in Africa and worldwide, to think collectively and propose innovative data-driven solutions to enhance quality of life in Africa and contribute in achieving inclusive development.
All papers must be original, unpublished and not submitted to another journal or conference. Contributions should be written in English and be prepared using Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format and should not exceed 12 pages.
Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated by at least three reviewers. Submissions must be in PDF format and should be made using the DSSGA'19 Easychair website.
Publication venue will be announced soon.
