CoProD'2023: deadline extended to April 20

by Kreinovich, Vladik

Papers related to imprecise probabilities are always welcome at this series of workshops ********************************************************* 16th International Workshop on Constraint Programming and Decision Making CoProD'2023 https://www.cs.utep.edu/interval-comp/coprod23.html May 30, 2023, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. CoProD'2023 is the sixteenth edition of CoProD http://coprod.constraintsolving.com/. It will be held on May 30, 2023, right before the Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society NAFIPS'2023, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, May 31 - June 2, 2023, https://nafips2023.com/ Constraint programming techniques are important components of intelligent systems. They constitute a declarative and efficient methodology to represent and solve many practical problems. They have been applied successfully to a number of fields, such as scheduling of air traffic, software engineering, networks security, chemistry, and biology. Despite the proved usefulness of these techniques, they are still under-utilized in real-life applications. One reason is the perceived lack of effective communication between constraint programming experts and domain practitioners about constraints, in general, and their use in decision making, in particular. Objectives of CoProD: * To present advances in constraint solving, optimization, and related topics; * To develop a network of researchers interested in constraint techniques, in particular researchers and practitioners that use numeric and symbolic approaches (or a combination of them) to solve constraint and optimization problems; * To address the gap between the great capacity of these techniques and their limited use. CoProD aims at encouraging presentation and discussion of on-going work. In particular, please note that there is room for presentation of ideas, as opposed to results only. It also aims at facilitating networking opportunities as well as cross-fertilization between the approaches used in the different attending communities. Therefore, besides active researchers in decision making and constraint programming techniques, we expect to have a wide attendance and participation of domain scientists -- whose input is highly valued in this workshop. Proceedings / Publication: Submissions are expected in the form of extended abstracts of at least 2 pages and ideally no more than 5 pages (a few more pages is OK), formatted using the Springer edited book format, style file svmult.cls and an example of using this file (not related to CoProD) are attached to the workshop website. Submissions have to be sent in pdf format AND LaTeX format to mceberio [at] utep [dot] edu and vladik [at] utep [dot] edu. A contact author should be specified in the submission email. The deadline for submissions is April 20, 2023 (Let us know if you need a few more days). Authors of accepted abstracts are expected to participate and present their work at the workshop. Participation / Submission: Participation is encouraged from people doing research in the area of decision making as well as from domain scientists. Submissions of ideas are also encouraged. Important dates: April 20, 2023: paper submission April 30, 2023: notification of acceptance May 8, 2023: camera-ready copy of abstracts due May 30, 2022: workshop Organizers: Martine Ceberio, the University of Texas at El Paso, mceberio(a)utep.edu<mailto:mceberio@utep.edu> Vladik Kreinovich, the University of Texas at El Paso, vladik(a)utep.edu<mailto:vladik@utep.edu> The previous editions of CoProD featured invited talks by highly recognized experts (listed in alphabetic order): * Purushotham Bangalore, CIS department, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA * Martin Berz, Michigan State University, USA * Stefano Bistarelli, University of Perugia, Italy * Alessandro Dal Palu, University of Parma, Italy * Rina Dechter, Information and Computer Sciences, University of California Irvine, USA * Scott Ferson, Applied Bioinformatics, New York, USA * Juan Carlos Figueroa, Universidad Distrital de Bogota, Colombia * Patty Hough, Sandia National Lab, Livermore, California, USA * Luc Jaulin, Ecole Nationale Superieure des Techniques Avancees (ENSTA) Bretagne, France * Weldon Lodwick, University of Colorado Denver, Denver, Colorado, USA * Kyoko Makino, Michigan State University, USA * Francois Modave, Texas Tech Health Center, El Paso, Texas, USA * Tiago Oliveira, National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo, Japan. * Enrico Pontelli, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA * James Raynolds, College of Nanoscale and Engineering, SUNY Albany, USA * Siegfried Rump, Hamburg University of Technology and Waseda University, Japan * Ken Satoh, National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo, Japan * Bart Selman, CS department, Cornell University, USA * Yaroslav D.

Thesis proposals in robust AI related fields

by sdesterc

Dear Colleagues, Our team is offering various PhD proposals, whose topics concern * Uncertainties and imprecision in Spatial Interpolations for Urban Risk Mapping: the PhD student would integrate the HOUSES national project, that aims at handling severe uncertainties in geostatistics, notably to assess pollutants levels in water and grounds. * Robustness in Explainable AI: the PhD student would join our junior professor chair and develop robust explanation methods for AI predictive models, as well as explanation methods for uncertain predictions. * Robust event detection: the PhD student would join the SAFE AI chaire and develop statistical learning method that would detect events with pre-specified statistical guarantees, notably by working on how to obtain calibrated predictions for such tasks. The first retained case studies would concern obstacle detection for aid-decision in partially or fully automated vehicles, a domain on which our laboratory has significant expertise. For each of these, we seek highly motivated students having a strong background in mathematics or computer science, with a focus on a topic connected to the PhD proposals (e.g., statistics, machine learning, …) Potentially interested candidates can find more details on the page https://www.hds.utc.fr/~sdesterc/dokuwiki/.

are you interested in submitting a paper to the special issue on Decision Making and Optimization under Uncertainty? let us know ASAP

by Kreinovich, Vladik

Dear Friends, Based on several recommendations, the MDPI open-access journal Mathematics http://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics contacted us to edit a special issue on Decision Making and Optimization under Uncertainty. The plan is to welcome papers related to all kinds of uncertainty: probabilistic (in particular, related to imprecise probabilities), interval, fuzzy, etc. The planned deadline for submissions is November 1, 2023. For the journal to better plan this issue, the journals asks all editors of special issues to provide a tentative list of possible submissions, with tentative title and list of authors - including their affiliation and emails. If you are interested in submission, please let us know as soon as possible, by April 18, 2023. To help you make your decision, here are two important facts about the journal: * Latest impact factor for Mathematics is 2.592 * This open access journal, this means that authors have to pay publication fee if the paper is accepted. Yours Martine Ceberio, Christoph Lauter, and Vladik Kreinovich.
