[SIPTA] Deep Learning and Representation Learning Workshop: NIPS 2014
by Adam Coates Dec. 2, 2014

Dec. 2, 2014

Call for participation: Deep Learning and Representation Learning Workshop http://www.dlworkshop.org/ Friday, December 12, 2014 Palais des Congrès de Montréal/Convention and Exhibition Center, Montreal, Canada Held in conjunction with Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) 2014. Please see the tentative schedule here: http://www.dlworkshop.org/schedule Scheduled location: Level 5; room 511 a,b, d,e ---- Deep Learning algorithms attempt to discover good representations, at multiple levels of abstraction. There has been rapid progress in this area in recent years, both in terms of algorithms and in terms of applications, but many challenges remain. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers in that field and discussing these challenges, brainstorming about new solutions. The workshop will present paper submissions in 2 poster sessions with several papers selected for oral presentation. Topics include: * deep learning algorithms and models (supervised or unsupervised, including about building blocks of deep nets, like RBMs and auto-encoders, etc.) * inference and optimization algorithms * semi-supervised, transfer learning, and multi-modal algorithms * theoretical foundations of deep learning (both supervised and unsupervised) * applications of deep learning (convolutional networks, word and sentence representation models, etc.) Through invited talks and presentations by the participants, this workshop will showcase the latest advances in deep learning and address questions that are at the center of current deep learning research. INVITED SPEAKERS: Phil Blunsom (Oxford U.) Herbert Jaeger (Jacobs U. Bremen) Rich Schwartz (BBN) Vlad Mnih (Google DeepMind) Surya Ganguli (Stanford U.) Leon Bottou (Microsoft) ORGANIZING COMMITTEE: Yoshua Bengio Adam Coates Roland Memisevic Andrew Ng Daan Wierstra

[SIPTA] Paper Announcement: Symmetric coherent upper conditional prevision defined by the Choquet integral with respect to Hausdorff outer measure
by Serena Doria Nov. 26, 2014

Nov. 26, 2014

The article "Symmetric coherent upper conditional prevision defined by the Choquet integral with respect to Hausdorff outer measure" has just been published and is available as 'Online First' on SpringerLink: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10479-014-1752-x Abstract In a metric space symmetric fuzzy measures defined on the class of all subsets are introduced. Coherent upper conditional probabilities defined by Hausdorff outer measures are symmetric and distorted coherent upper con- ditional probabilities defined by Hausdorff outer measures with concave dis- tortion are proven to be symmetric. Null events and symmetric events with respect to coherent upper conditional probabilities defined by Hausdorff outer measures are characterized. Coherent upper conditional prevision defined as Choquet integral with respect to Hausdorff outer measure is symmetric be- cause it is invariant with respect to equimeasurable random variables.

by Kreinovich Nov. 21, 2014

Nov. 21, 2014

FYI, organizers made a minor change of dates, to avoid conflict with IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics IEEE SMC'2015, Hong Kong, October 10-13, 2015, and to have these two conferences back-to-back ________________________________________ [Please help in distributing the following CFP. Sorry for multiple postings] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fourth International Symposium on INTEGRATED UNCERTAINTY in KNOWLEDGE MODELLING and DECISION MAKING http://www.jaist.ac.jp/IUKM/IUKM2015/ OCTOBER 15-17, 2015, Nha Trang, VIETNAM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposals for special sessions are encouraged and welcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The International Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling and Decision Making (IUKM) aims to provide a forum for exchanges of research results, ideas for and experience of application among researchers and practitioners involved with all aspects of uncertainty management and application. Previous symposia have been successfully held in Ishikawa, Japan (IUM 2010 - AISC 68), Hangzhou, China (IUKM 2011 - LNAI 7027) and Beijing, China (IUKM 2013 - LNAI 8032). The fourth IUKM (2015) will take place in the beautiful coastal city of Nha Trang, Vietnam, during 15th-17th October, 2015. Relevant topics for the IUKM 2015 Symposium include, but are not limited to, the following: + Theory and Methodology - Uncertainty formalisms: Bayesian probability, Dempster-Shafer theory, imprecise probability, random sets, rough sets, fuzzy sets and interval-based models - logics for reasoning under uncertainty - Information fusion and knowledge integration in uncertain environments - Decision making under various types of uncertainty - Aggregation operators - Copulas for dependence modelling - Granular and soft computing + Application - Data mining and knowledge discovery - Ontology engineering and Semantic Web - Intelligent data analysis and modelling - Medical informatics and bioinformatics - Ranking and recommendation systems - Kansei/affective engineering - Engineering management - Supply chain management - Environmental management - Service science - Economics and econometrics - Social network analysis and mining PUBLICATION The authors are invited to submit their full papers by May 11, 2015. The submissions will be peer-reviewed for originality and scientific quality. As done in previous editions, the proceedings of IUKM 2015 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series, and be available at the Symposium. Authors are requested to prepare their papers in the Springer LNAI format. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages and must be submitted electronically through the conference's Easychair submission page (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iukm2015) In addition, after the Symposium, the authors of selected papers from IUKM 2015 will be invited to submit substantially extended and updated version of their work for possible inclusion in special issues of Annals of Operations Research and International Journal of Approximate Reasoning. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for paper submission: 11 May 2015 Notification of acceptance/rejection: 15 July 2015 Final camera-ready: 10 August 2015 Author registration: 10 August 2015 Early registration: 7 September 2015 Symposium dates: 15 - 17 October 2015 -------------------------- PC Co-Chairs Van-Nam Huynh (JAIST, Japan) Thierry Denoeux (University of Technology of Compiègne, France) Masahiro Inuiguchi (University of Osaka, Japan)
