[SIPTA] LEaDing Fellows Postdocs Programme (Netherlands)
by Erik Quaeghebeur Nov. 3, 2017

Nov. 3, 2017

Dear colleagues, This call may be of interest to your PhD researchers who have recently defended or who are about to defend: > The LEaDing Fellows Postdocs Programme provides opportunities for 90 incoming postdocs from all over the world to gain two years of work experience in the challenging, internationally acclaimed and multidisciplinary environment of Leiden University, Leiden University Medical Centre, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Erasmus Medical Centre and Delft University of Technology. The programme is supported by the EU through the Horizon 202 Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND scheme. > The programme aims to help early stage ambitious and excellent researchers to develop new research and transferable skills and a view on career options in an academic research, industrial or public setting. > The programme runs from January 2017 until January 2022. Recruitment is divided in calls. The remaining third call will be issued from 1 September 2018 on. > All information about the programme is available here: http://www.leadingfellows.eu/ Best regards, Erik -- https://ac.erikquaeghebeur.name

From: Rob Scheichl r.scheichl(a)bath.ac.uk Date: October 11, 2017 Subject: UQ Workshop, UK, Jan 2018 Key Uncertainty Quantification methodologies & motivating applications Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge, 8 - 12 January 2018 http://www.newton.ac.uk/event/unqw01 Registration for this workshop is open through to 29 October 2017. Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) concerns the assessment of uncertainties and errors in complex mathematical models. Sources of uncertainty and error include uncertain model inputs, noisy data, incomplete knowledge of the model, and errors in numerical approximations. A variety of UQ methodologies have been developed by the Statistics and Applied Mathematics communities, often addressing similar problems from different perspectives, or using similar techniques but with different emphasis and nomenclature. This workshop will bring together leading researchers from both Statistics and Applied Mathematics for a series of introductory and tutorial presentations. The aim is to improve the understanding within each community of the others' research methods, and to identify common key challenges. The third community invested in UQ problems are the domain area experts and practitioners. The workshop will also include presentations from speakers from a variety of important application areas. The aim is to identify key applied, generic, problems for which UQ solutions are required. Please see the workshop webpage for a list of speakers and tentative titles, and for registration details. This workshop is the first event in a six-month programme on Uncertainty Quantification at the Isaac Newton Institute, see http://www.newton.ac.uk/event/unq

[SIPTA] CFP: BELIEF 2018 and SMPS 2018
by Sébastien Destercke Sept. 7, 2017

Sept. 7, 2017

FIRST CALL FOR PAPER 5th International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2018) and 9th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2018) September 17-21, Compiègne, France Conference website: https://smpsbelief2018.hds.utc.fr/ The Fifth International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2018) and the 9th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2018) will be held jointly in Compiègne, France, on September 17-21, 2018. The BELIEF and SMPS conferences are biennial events concerning the modeling of uncertainty. The BELIEF conferences are sponsored by the Belief Functions and Applications Society (BFAS) and are focused on the theory of belief functions, while the scope of SMPS covers the application of all approaches to uncertainty (including fuzzy and rough sets, imprecise probabilities, etc.) to statistics and data analysis. The co-location of the two events is intended to favor cross-fertilization among researchers active in both communities. A single registration will be required to attend the whole BELIEF 2018/SMPS 2018 event. Tentative timetable: - March 15: Paper submission deadline - April 30: Author notification - May 30: Camera-ready copy due Proceedings The proceedings of the BELIEF 2018 and SMPS 2018 conferences will appear as separate volumes, both published by Springer-Verlag. IJAR Special issues Authors of selected papers from the BELIEF 2018/ SMPS 2018 conferences will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for possible inclusion in special issues of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning. Conference co-chairs Thierry Denoeux (https://www.hds.utc.fr/~tdenoeux) and Sébastien Destercke (https://www.hds.utc.fr/~sdesterc) Contact: tdenoeux(a)hds.utc.fr, sebastien.destercke(a)hds.utc.fr The organisers would be grateful if you could inform potentially interested participants of these conferences.
