[SIPTA] BELIEF 2020 - Second call for papers
by frederic.pichon April 8, 2020

April 8, 2020

============================================================ 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.

March 28, 2020

FYI -----Original Message----- From: owner-smps2020(a)eio.uva.es <owner-smps2020(a)eio.uva.es> On Behalf Of SMPS2020 Sent: Saturday, March 28, 2020 5:58 AM Dear colleagues, Due to the current circumstances and the uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19, as well as how much it is affecting Spain (organizing the conference in the 10th edition) and some other countries in Asia, Europe and America, we regret we have had to decide to stop with the former planning for the 10th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics. Because of the nature of this conference, we have declined to consider a virtual version, but it seems better to postpone it waiting for the moment in which uncertainty only concerns our research topics (hopefully in 2021). We will inform you all in due time. Thank you for your understanding and support! Take care! -- Luis A. García-Escudero Alfonso Gordaliza Agustín Mayo-Íscar Universidad de Valladolid (IMUVa), Spain General Chairs SMPS2020

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Dear all, Firstly, we hope this email finds you safe and well. As we look forward to the next few weeks and months being under lockdown, we are all confronted with the reality of building up new communication channels. This presents us with an unprecedented opportunity that has arguably been long overdue. We would like to invite you to participate in a new grass roots project: the *One World Probability Seminar.* https://www.wim.uni-mannheim.de/doering/one-world/ *Every Thursday at 15:00 and 16:00 Central European Time, *two seminars will take place on line via the free webinar tool Zoom. Follow the information and link on the webpage and just tune in. No need to register, no need to announce your presence, we have capacity for an audience of up to 500 viewers. The short-term goal is to provide access to a seminar for as many researchers as possible, bringing a sense of normality and academic closeness. *For the indefinite future, the seminar is intended to foster ideas among our truly global research community and to help reduce our impact on climate change.* As a grass roots project, the seminar will evolve with time - in particular please keep a close eye on the webpage which will provide updated information of speakers. We have speakers lined up for the next month or so, and we hope you will all feel enthused to participate in the long term. * Please circulate this email as widely as you can.* Andreas Kyprianou and Leif Doering. -- Professor Andreas Kyprianou Co-director of EPSRC CDT SAMBa Department of Mathematical Sciences University of Bath BA2 7AY -- *************************************************

[SIPTA] [CALL FOR PAPERS] Uncertain Reasoning @ Flairs 33
by Alessandro Antonucci Oct. 14, 2019

Oct. 14, 2019

Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning at Flairs 33 - Call for Papers *** Apologies for multiple postings *** [UR @ FLAIRS 33] CALL FOR PAPERS Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning at the 33rd Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-33) May 17-20, 2020 - North Miami Beach, Florida (US) Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2019 Conference website: http://www.flairs-33.info Track website: http://idsia.ch/~alessandro/flairs ::: Call for Papers ::: Many problems in AI (in reasoning, planning, learning, perception and robotics) require the agent to operate with incomplete or uncertain information. The objective of this track is to present and discuss a broad and diverse range of current work on uncertain reasoning, including theoretical and applied research based on different paradigms. We hope that the variety and richness of this track will help to promote cross fertilisation among the different approaches for uncertain reasoning, and in turn foster the development of new ideas and paradigms. The Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning (UR) is the oldest track in FLAIRS conferences, running annually since 1996. The UR'20 Special Track at the 33rd International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-33) is the 25th in the series.

The papers should be original work (in that they should not have been submitted and in review or in the process of being submitted for another conference/journal). FLAIRS-33 accepts two types of submissions: full paper (up to 6 pages) to be presented by the author in a 20 minute oral presentation; and short paper (up to 4 pages) to be presented in a poster session. The submission deadline for both types of submissions is November 18, 2019. The 2020 FLAIRS-33 will employ a double-blind review process. Therefore, the author names and affiliations, and other identifying information, must be omitted when submitting papers for review. The papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers must be submitted as PDF files through the EasyChair conference system, which can also be accessed through the FLAIRS-33 main conference web site. Authors should indicate the special track "Uncertain Reasoning" for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS-33 will be published by AAAI Press. A special issue of an international journal will be devoted to extended versions of the top papers presented within the track. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register, attend, and present the paper at FLAIRS-33.

[SIPTA] Brett Houlding
by Alessandro Antonucci Sept. 25, 2019

Sept. 25, 2019

Forwarding a message from Frank Coolen, remembering our colleague Brett Houlding. ===================================== Dear friends, I would like to make the community aware of the sudden and untimely passing away of Brett Houlding on 14 September. Brett completed the MMATH degree at Durham in 2004 and then studied for PhD, it was my pleasure to supervise him. He completed his PhD in 2008 with a thesis entitled 'Sequential decision making with adaptive utility'. Brett made some contributions to imprecision, but in my view his main achievements are in decision theory. His thesis sets out foundations, theory and methods for sequential Bayesian decision theory where one also learns about ones utilities throughout the process. This aspect of decision theory has received surprisingly little attention, although it is relevant in many scenarios, e.g. should one visit a new restaurant, how serious are possible effects of system failure, what are side effects of new medication? In his thesis, Brett provided the starting points of a nice and powerful theory, with many research challenges remaining. After completing his PhD, Brett moved to Trinity College Dublin, first as PostDoc researcher and followed by an Assistant Professorship. This was in years of economic downturn in Ireland, with universities strongly affected. With only few colleagues Brett managed to keep an excellent undergraduate programme running, and he also supervised three students to PhD: Donnacha Bolger ('Reliability updating in linear opinion pooling with multiple decision makers', 2016), Shuaiwei Zhou ('Bayesian modelling and analysis of utility-based maintenance for repairable systems', 2017) and Angela McCourt ('Modelling uncertainty and vagueness within recommender systems via nonparametric predictive inference', 2019). He also collaborated successfully on applied statistics projects with external collaborators, which led to a range of high impact publications, in particular in the field of species richness assessment. About a year ago, Brett moved to an Associate Professor position at University College Cork, also in Ireland, where he looked forward to more research opportunities and a happy family life. I am happy to have known Brett, he was a hard-working, intelligent and nice person who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Frank Coolen =====================================

[SIPTA] Fwd: Calls - Bayes by the Sea
by Serena Doria June 26, 2019

June 26, 2019

*Call for Papers: Bayes By the Sea: “Formal Epistemology, Statistics, and Game Theory”, Ancona, The Marche –Italy, 30-31 August 2019. * Recent proposals for scientific reform highlight the need to develop an integrated approach towards scientific methodology, which accounts for the interaction of foundational, pragmatic, and strategic dimensions of evidence evaluation. The second edition of the Bayes By the Sea conference: “Formal Epistemology, Statistics, and Game Theory” aims to bring together philosophers of statistics and of the scientific method, methodologists and metascientists, as well as economists and game-theorists, in order to refresh the debate on the foundations of the sciences from new perspectives, with a special focus on scientific rationality, scientific misconduct, science economics, foundations of statistics and the scientific method, in diverse scientific ecosystems characterized by distinctive practices, structures, and institutions. A special attention will be devoted this year also to formal/conceptual tools of game theory/rational choice theory in representing and studying the interactions of agents operating in scientific ecosystems as strategic behavior of rational players, whose repeated interactions shape the current scientific practices. *Keynote Speakers:* *Peter Brössel (Bochum)* *Clelia Di Serio (Milan)* *Andrés Pereas (Maastricht)* *Jan Sprenger (Turin)* We welcome contributions from:* (Formal/Social) Epistemology, Philosophy and Foundations of Statistics, Metascience and Scientific Methodology, (Epistemic) Game Theory, Decision Theory, Science Economics, Law, and Ethics.* *Deadline for Paper/Poster Submission: 2nd July 2019.* Please submit a short abstract (max 500 words) via Easychair <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bbs2>. Organisers: Stefano Bonzio (Univpm Ancona) William Peden (Univpm Ancona; Durham) Barbara Osimani (Univpm Ancona; LMU) Mantas Radzvilas (MCMP/LMU Munich) Todd Stambaugh (MCMP/LMU Munich; CUNY) Contact: *s.oreficini(a)staff.univpm.it <s.oreficini(a)staff.univpm.it>* The conference will be embedded in the *BBS Summer School (25 August – 1st September)* and school participants will also actively attend to the conference. We greatly enjoyed our conference last year (*2018 Edition*) and we look forward to a similar success this year! *Summer School: Bayes By the Sea: “Formal Epistemology, Statistics, and Game Theory: The Summer School!”, Ancona, The Marche –Italy, 25 August -1 September 2019. * The School aims to bring together international experts in such fields as philosophy of statistics, philosophy of science, game theory and social epistemology in order to address foundational questions in the sciences from new perspectives, with a special focus on formal models of social interactions and scientific inference. In particular, students will attend to both theoretical lectures held by distinguished scholars in the fields and classes offering tutorials on formal methods and tools, as well as extensive overviews on the school related topics. Each of the school threads will be covered by interactive group work, excercises and one-to-one sessions, which will provide attendees with the opportunity to deepen their proficiency in a particular topic of interest. In-depth *lectures* will be given on: *Bayesian Philosophy of Science, Foundations of Statistics, Bayesian Statistics, Social Epistemology, Epistemic Game Theory, and Game-Theoretic Probability.* *Lecturers:* *Peter Brössel (Bochum)* *Philip Dawid (Cambridge)* *Anna-Maria Asunta Eder (Cologne)* *Stephan Hartmann (Munich)* *Andrés Perea (Maastricht)* *Jan Sprenger (Turin)* Three distinct tutorials will be given by expert scholars, in order to offer students introductory overviews and hands-on classes on the topics, which they feel less familiar. - *Introduction to Imprecise Probability* (Serena Doria) - *Introduction to Bayesian Epistemology* (William Peden) - *Introduction to Game Theory* (Mantas Radzvilas) - *R for Bayesian Statistics* (Momme von Sydow). Tuition Fees (100 Euros) will include breakfast and lunch breaks, social activities, as well as participation to the *Bayes By the Sea Conference* (30-31 August), to which Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract for a contributing paper/poster. *Deadline for application: 2nd of July 2019*, APPLY HERE <https://www.bayesbytheseaschool.com/application> A rich calendar of *social activities* will complement the fun! Organisers: Stefano Bonzio (Univpm Ancona) William Peden (Univpm Ancona; Durham) Barbara Osimani (Univpm Ancona; LMU) Mantas Radzvilas (MCMP/LMU Munich) Todd Stambaugh (MCMP/LMU Munich; CUNY) Contact: *s.oreficini(a)staff.univpm.it <s.oreficini(a)staff.univpm.it>* ----- Fine messaggio inoltrato. -----
