[SIPTA] SMPS/BELIEF 2018 conference: student grants and awards
by Sébastien Destercke 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Dear colleagues, The Belief functions and Applications Society (http://bfas.iut-lannion.fr/) is offering a number of grants to allow students with limited funding opportunities to present their work at the 5th International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2018). The grants cover the registration fees. The BELIEF 2018 conference will take place in Compiègne, France, on September 17-21, 2018, in conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2018). Conference homepage: https://smpsbelief2018.hds.utc.fr The current paper submission deadline is March 15, 2018. Authors of accepted papers will be notified on April 30, 2018. The deadline of the grant application is May 15, 2018. Candidates should send the following information: - CV - recommendation letter from supervisor - copy of paper accepted at BELIEF 2018 to the secretary of BFAS, Dr. Anne-Laure Jousselme (Anne-Laure.Jousselme(a)cmre.nato.int) The International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (IJAR) will also offer best paper awards (with a prize of 1000 € for each conference) to students and early career researchers (who defended their PhD less than 2 years before the conference). The award ceremony will take place during the conference.’ Thierry Denoeux and Sebastien Destercke -- ==================================== Sebastien Destercke, Ph. D.

[SIPTA] ECDA special session on imprecision in statistical learning
by Sébastien Destercke 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Dear colleagues, In the context of ECDA conference taking place in Paderborn, we are organizing a special session on imprecision in statistical learning. Informations about the special session and the conference can be respectively found at: https://www.hds.utc.fr/~sdesterc/dokuwiki/_media/ecda2018_special_sess.pdf http://www.ecda2018.de Here is some relevant information you might be interested in: -- To give a talk, you only need to send a title and abstract, i.e., no full paper is required. The abstract submission deadline is April 1st. When submitting the abstract, please make sure you mark it as a contribution to the special session. Of course, you also need to register for the conference, once your abstract is accepted. -- Full papers will be published as post-proceedings in the newly launched Journal "Archives of Data Science, Series A" after the conference. Submission to the post-proceedings is offered to all participants, but is not compulsory. Submitted papers will undergo a standard review process. -- The normal time slot for a talk in a session will be around 20-25 minutes. Best regards Sebastien Destercke and Thomas Augustin -- ==================================== Sebastien Destercke, Ph. D. CNRS researcher in computer science.

[SIPTA] Basic Interval Standard
by Kreinovich 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

FYI, since interval-valued probabilities are an important case of imprecise probabilities, it may be of interest to imprecise probability folks that IEEE has a standard on interval computations. There is a more detailed standard, but for most applications, the basic standard will be sufficient. -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Baker Kearfott [mailto:rbk5287(a)louisiana.edu] Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2018 10:57 AM Basic Interval Standard has been published. Its official name is: "IEEE Std 1788.1-2017 - IEEE Standard for Interval Arithmetic (Simplified)" It will be an active standard for 10 years (after which it may be reaffirmed or revised). A web page for it is: https://standards.ieee.org/findstds/standard/1788.1-2017.html Baker P.S. Here is the info from the standard webpage: Description: This standard is a simplified version and a subset of the IEEE Std 1788TM-2015 for Interval Arithmetic and includes those operations and features of the latter that in the editors' view are most commonly used in practice. IEEE Std 1788.1-2017 specifies interval arithmetic operations based on intervals whose endpoints are IEEE Std 754TM-2008 binary64 floating-point numbers and a decoration system for exception-free computations and propagation of properties of the computed results. A program built on top of an implementation of IEEE Std 1788.1-2017 should compile and run, and give identical output within round off, using an implementation of IEEE Std 1788-2015, or any superset of the former. Compared to IEEE Std 1788-2015, this standard aims to be minimalistic, yet to cover much of the functionality needed for interval computations. As such, it is more accessible and will be much easier to implement, and thus will speed up production of implementations.
