[SIPTA] [vacancy] PhD position in Robust Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification

by Erik Quaeghebeur

Dear colleagues, We have an opening for a PhD position in Robust Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification at Eindhoven University of Technology: https://jobs.tue.nl/en/vacancy/phd-candidate-on-eaisi-%E2%80%93-damocles-ro… It is part of a multidisciplinary project that focuses on the modeling of physical systems (constitutive relations, to be more precise) using various approaches in the white box–black box spectrum. Our work package will approach the problem from a Bayesian modeling perspective and build in robustness using techniques developed in the imprecise probability field. Please disseminate to promising candidates in your neighborhood! Best regards, Erik -- https://ac.erikquaeghebeur.name

[SIPTA] Causal expectation maximisation

by Marco Zaffalon

Dear Friends and Colleagues, We have a report showing that we can solve causal inference in very general terms, albeit approximately, via expectation maximisation. We have made it publicly available here, if you are interested: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.02912. *** I would also like to share some information on causality-related events for those of you who may be interested (thanks to Alessandro Antonucci for helping to collect them): - CLeaR (deadline Oct. 22) https://www.cclear.cc/2022 - Why 2021 (deadline Sept. 18) https://why21.causalai.net - SI IEEE (deadline Oct. 22) https://cis.ieee.org/images/files/Publications/TNNLS/special-issues/CFP_TNN…. *** Finally, someone might be interested in this recent PhD thesis that proposes nice statistical tools to consider omitted variable bias in common regression valuation metrics + sensitivity analysis tools in linear models: https://escholarship.org/content/qt5bv3x35d/qt5bv3x35d.pdf. Wishing a happy and productive re-start of work to all, Marco

[SIPTA] Last call: RW 2021 online and FREE - Reasoning Web Summer School

by Ivan José Varzinczak

* Apologies for cross posting * ============================== Call for Participation Reasoning Web Summer School (RW) 2021 (Part of Declarative AI 2021) https://declarativeai2021.net/reasoning-web Venue: ONLINE event (with FREE registration) Dates: 8-10 September 2021 ============================== The purpose of the Reasoning Web Summer School is to disseminate recent advances on reasoning techniques and related issues that are of particular interest to Semantic Web and Linked Data applications. It is primarily intended for postgraduate (PhD or MSc) students, postdocs, young researchers, and senior researchers wishing to deepen their knowledge. As in the previous years, lectures in the summer school will be given by a distinguished group of expert lecturers carefully selected to cover a wide range of topics relevant to the school (see below). The summer school is part of Declarative AI 2021 and is co-located with RuleML+RR 2021 and DecisionCAMP 2021. The students attending the RW school are particularly encouraged to also apply to the Doctoral Consortium of RuleML+RR. -- Chairs -- - Mantas Simkus, Institute of Logic and Computation, TU Wien, Austria - Ivan Varzinczak, CRIL, Univ. Artois & CNRS, France -- Lectures (the program is available on the school website) -- - Claudia d'Amato: Mining the Semantic Web with Machine Learning: main issues that need to be known - Leopoldo Bertossi: Explanations in Data Management and Classification in Machine Learning via Counterfactual Interventions Specified by Answer-Set-Programs - Pedro Cabalar: Temporal ASP: from logical foundations to practical use with telingo - Diego Figuera: Foundations of Graph Path Query Languages - Matthias Knorr: On Combining Ontologies and Rules - Paolo Pareti: SHACL: From Data Validation to Schema Reasoning for RDF Graphs - Steven Schockaert and Victor G. Basulto: Modelling Symbolic Knowledge using Neural Representations - Renata Wassermann: Belief Revision and Ontology Repair -- Participation -- Although no specific background knowledge is required for attending the summer school, basics of knowledge representation and reasoning will be helpful for benefiting from the lectures of the school. Students are also committed to a full participation for the whole duration of the school. The number of attendees will be limited and participation will depend on submitting an application which will undergo a reviewing process. Please check the school website regularly for information on the registration process and updates. Please note that as a result of the undergoing COVID-19 pandemic, RW 2021 will be held as an ONLINE event. Moreover, registration is FREE of charge. -- Important dates -- - 25 August 2021: Registration closes - 8-10 September 2021: RW Summer School -- Further Information -- Please visit the school website (https://declarativeai2021.net/reasoning-web) for further information and regular updates. -- Ivan Varzinczak - https://www.ijv.ovh CRIL, Université d'Artois & CNRS, France
