Call for papers Special Session on "THEORETICAL AND APPLIED ASPECTS OF IMPRECISE PROBABILITIES" to be held at the 18th International Conference on Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems (IPMU 2020) https://ipmu2020.inesc-id.pt/ Lisboa (Portugal), June 15-19, 2020 Session topic and goal This session is devoted to Imprecise Probability Theory. This theory involves all the mathematical models that can be used as more flexible tools than usual Probability Theory when the available information is scarce, vague or incomplete. It includes lower previsions, n-monotone capacities, belief functions, possibility measures, or non-additive measures, among others. This special session aims to include papers related to Imprecise Probabilities that either present a significant advance in the foundations or show potential applications in real problems. In addition, papers where the connection between imprecise probability theories and other fields such as fuzzy sets or game theory is emphasized are also welcome. Theoretical topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * (coherent) uncertainty models * non-additive set-functions * qualitative reasoning about uncertainty * limit laws for imprecise probabilities * philosophical foundations * elicitation and inference * robust statistics * decision making * algorithmic issues Applications include (but are not limited to): * data mining * classification and machine learning * risk and reliability analysis * finance * life sciences * system control and design Dates Paper submission: January 31, 2020 Notification of Acceptance: March 8, 2020 Conference: June 15-19, 2020 The Easychair submission site will offer one track for this special session, so please make sure that you select it when submitting your contribution. Organizers We would be obliged if you would let us know in case you intend to submit a paper to this session, at your earliest convenience. Any questions or remarks can be addressed to: Enrique Miranda (mirandaenrique(a)uniovi.es), University of Oviedo (Spain) Ignacio Montes (imontes(a)uniovi.es), University of Oviedo (Spain)
