[SIPTA] JOB: Academic positions in AI at TU Eindhoven

by Polpo de Campos

Dear all, The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of TU Eindhoven has multiple open-rank (assistant/associate/full professor) positions in AI. It welcomes excellent candidates that can contribute to starting a new research direction or to joining any of the current research areas of the AI Cluster (AIc). Currently, AIc mostly works on foundational issues including robustness, safety, trust, reliability, tractability, scalability, interpretability and explainability of AI. Applicants for an associate and a full professor rank may suggest how they see their group to be composed and whether they have in mind some suitable candidates to join their group. You find more details by following the link below. Screening of applications starts immediately. https://jobs.tue.nl/en/vacancy/five-positions-assistant-associate-full-prof… Best regards, cassio. -- Cassio de Campos c.decampos(a)tue.nl

[SIPTA] BELIEF 2020 - Second call for papers

by frederic.pichon

============================================================ 6th International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2020) Dates: October 23rd-25th, 2020 Location: Shanghai, China Submission deadline: April 15th, 2020 Notification: May 31st, 2020 Final version: June 30th, 2020 Further information: https://www.lgi2a.univ-artois.fr/events/belief2020/ ============================================================ The theory of belief functions, also referred to as evidence theory or Dempster-Shafer theory, was first introduced by Arthur P. Dempster in the context of statistical inference, and was later developed by Glenn Shafer as a general framework for modelling epistemic uncertainty. These early contributions have been the starting points of many important developments, including the Transferable Belief Model and the Theory of Hints. The theory of belief functions is now well established as a general framework for reasoning with uncertainty, and has well understood connections to other frameworks such as probability, possibility and imprecise probability theories. The biennial BELIEF conferences (sponsored by the Belief Functions and Applications Society https://www.bfasociety.org/) are dedicated to the confrontation of ideas, the reporting of recent achievements and the presentation of the wide range of applications of this theory. The first edition of this conference series was held in Brest, France, in 2010, the second edition in Compiègne, France, in 2012, the third edition in Oxford, UK, in 2014, the fourth edition in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2016, and the fifth edition in Compiègne, France, in 2018. The Sixth International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2020) will be held in Shanghai, China, on October 23-25, 2020. It will be co-located with the 2020 International Conference on Cognitive analytics, Granular computing, and Three-way decisions (CCGT). The co-location of the two events is intended to favour cross-fertilization among researchers active in both communities. Submission and Proceedings ======================= The proceedings of the BELIEF 2020 conference will be published by Springer-Verlag in a volume of the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNCS/LNAI) series and indexed by: ISI Web of Science; EI Engineering Index; ACM Digital Library; dblp; Google Scholar; IO-Port; MathSciNet; Scopus; Zentralblatt MATH. Previous BELIEF proceedings can be found on SpringerLink. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made. IJAR Special issue ============== Authors of selected papers from the BELIEF 2020 conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for possible inclusion in a special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning. Invited speakers ============= We are very happy to announce that Prof. Huynh Van-Nam (Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) has agreed to give an invited talk at the conference. More to be announced soon. ============================================================ BELIEF-CCGT Conference co-chairs Denoeux Thierry (Université de Technologie de Compiègne, France), Miao Duoqian (Tongji University, Shanghai, China), Yao Yiyu (University of Regina, Canada). BELIEF 2020 Program Committee co-chairs Liu Zhunga (liuzhunga(a)nwpu.edu.cn, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xian, China), Pichon Frédéric (frederic.pichon(a)univ-artois.fr, Université d'Artois, France). BELIEF 2020 Steering committee Lefevre Eric (Université d'Artois, France), Liu Zhunga (Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xian, China), Mercier David (Université d'Artois, France), Pichon Frederic (Université d'Artois, France), Wei Zhihua (Tongji University, Shanghai, China), Yue Xiaodong (Shanghai University, China) BELIEF 2020 Organisation chair Yue Xiaodong, Shanghai University, China The organisers would be grateful if you could inform potentially interested participants of this conference.

[SIPTA] special session on imprecise probabilities at SMPS'2020

by Enrique Miranda

Call for papers Special Session on "IMPRECISE PROBABILITIES" to be held at the 10th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2020) http://smps2020.uva.es/ Valladolid (Spain), September 16-18, 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: April 8, 2020 Author notification: April 30, 2020 Conference: September 16-18, 2020 Submissions should be made via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smps2020 Since the Easychair submission site will offer no track for the special sessions, we would be obliged if you could notify us by e-mail if you would like your paper to be included in the session on imprecise probabilities. This way we can assist the organizers during the reviewing process. Organizers Any questions or remarks can be addressed to: Arthur Van Camp (arthur.van-camp(a)hds.utc.fr), Université de Technologie de Compiègne (France) Enrique Miranda (mirandaenrique(a)uniovi.es), University of Oviedo (Spain)
