[SIPTA] [UR' 21 @ Flairs-34] First Call For Papers

by Alessandro Antonucci

Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning at Flairs 34 - First Call for Papers *** Apologies for multiple postings *** [UR @ FLAIRS 34] CALL FOR PAPERS Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning at the 34th Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-34) May 16-19, 2021 - North Miami Beach, Florida (US) Paper submission deadline: November 19, 2020 Conference website: http://www.flairs-34.info Special track website: http://idsia.ch/~alessandro/flairs ::: Call for Papers ::: Many problems in AI (in reasoning, planning, learning, perception and robotics) require the agent to operate with incomplete or uncertain information. The objective of this track is to present and discuss a broad and diverse range of current work on uncertain reasoning, including theoretical and applied research based on different paradigms. We hope that the variety and richness of this track will help to promote cross fertilisation among the different approaches for uncertain reasoning, and in this way foster the development of new ideas and paradigms. The Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR) is the oldest track in FLAIRS conferences, running annually since 1996. The UR '21 Special Track at the 34th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-34) is the 26th in the series. Like the past tracks, UR'21 seeks to bring together researchers working on broad issues related to reasoning under uncertainty. Papers on all aspects of uncertain reasoning are invited. Papers of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Uncertain reasoning formalisms, calculi and methodologies - Reasoning with probability, possibility, fuzzy logic, belief function, vagueness, granularity, rough sets, and probability logics - Modelling and reasoning using imprecise and indeterminate information, such as: Choquet capacities, comparative orderings, convex sets of measures, and interval-valued probabilities - Exact, approximate and qualitative uncertain reasoning - Inference and learning with graphical models of uncertainty (e.g., Bayesian networks) - Multi-agent uncertain reasoning and decision making - Decision-theoretic planning and Markov decision process - Temporal reasoning and uncertainty; non-monotonic reasoning; similarity-based reasoning - Conditional logics, description logic, logic programming - Argumentation - Belief change and merging - Construction of models from elicitation, data mining and knowledge discovery - Uncertain reasoning in information retrieval, filtering, fusion, diagnosis, prediction, situation assessment - Uncertain reasoning in data management - Practical applications of uncertain reasoning (e.g., machine learning, computer vision and animation) All accepted papers will be published as FLAIRS proceedings by AAAI Press. A special issue of an international journal will be devoted to extended versions of the top papers at the track. ::: Program Committee ::: : Track Chairs : - Alessandro Antonucci (IDSIA, Switzerland) - Salem Benferhat (University of Artois, France) - Kamal Premaratne (University of Miami, US) : PC Members : To be announced. ::: Other Information ::: FLAIRS 34 will be held in North Miami Beach, Florida. Additional information on the conference location and travel planning can be found here. Feel free to write the organizers (alessandro(a)idsia.ch, kamal(a)miami.edu, benferhat(a)cril.fr) for any further information about the special track. ::: Submission ::: Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or submitted to another conference while in review). Papers should not exceed 6 pages (4 pages for a poster) and are due by November 17, 2020. For FLAIRS-34, the 2021 conference, the reviewing is a double-blind process. Author names and affiliations must be omitted on submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. The papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, which can also be accessed through the main conference web site. There are two kinds of submissions: full paper (up to 6 pages) to be presented by the author in a 20 minute oral presentation; short paper (up to 4 pages) to be presented in a poster session. Authors should indicate the special track "Uncertain Reasoning" for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS-34 will be published by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register, attend, and present the paper at FLAIRS-34. --- Alessandro Antonucci Istituto Dalle Molle di Studi sull'Intelligenza Artificiale (IDSIA) Galleria 2 - Via Cantonale CH-6928, Manno-Lugano (Switzerland) alessandro(a)idsia.ch www.idsia.ch/~alessandro -- This message was scanned by SUPSI mail-scanner and is believed to be clean.

[SIPTA] [Call for Participation] Translating V. P. Kuznetsov's 1991 "Interval Statistical Models"

by Erik Quaeghebeur

Dear SIPTA members, This is a call to participate in the project to collectively translate Vladimir P. Kuznetsov's 1991 “Interval Statistical Models”. If you are interested, please read on and reply to me at e.quaeghebeur(a)tue.nl to indicate your degree of interest. *** Kuznetsov's 1991 “Interval Statistical Models” is an early text in the domain of imprecise probabilities <http://www.sipta.org/index.php?id=kuznetsov>. It is currently only available in Russian. Some years ago, SIPTA was allowed to make the text freely available <http://www.sipta.org/index.php?id=res#kuz>. SIPTA also has been given the right to create a translation of the text. A project to enable such a collective translation of the book has been set up under the umbrella of SIPTA, initiated by Enrique Miranda and myself. With the help of some others, we have done a first effort, to show that a full translation is feasible, given time and persistence. The current state can be found at <https://surfdrive.surf.nl/files/index.php/s/hAgjxS8SyGhxmUt>. The end goal is a publishable translation, but the effort may prove useful long before that goal is reached. Everyone can contribute and is encouraged to participate. People that know Russian are obviously very valuable as translators or translation-correctors. However, many tasks do not require knowing Russian (beyond Google translate): transcribing math, recreating figures in TikZ, looking for translation grants, recruiting native Russian speakers, project management, etc. We track individuals' contributions, so that everyone involved can be given due credit. The project is housed on GitHub, as a (currently) private organization. SIPTA members interested in just having a look or participating should send their GitHub user name to me at e.quaeghebeur(a)tue.nl in reply to this message. I will give you access and initiate follow-up steps in case you express an interest to participate. (Please have patience if I do not act or reply promptly; as a side project, I plan the limited time I can spend on it.) In case you want to participate, but strongly prefer not to go through GitHub, contact me as well. If you already know in which way you prefer to contribute, please say how in your mail. *** We look forward to your expressions of interest! Best regards, Erik -- This message was scanned by SUPSI mail-scanner and is believed to be clean.
