Dear Siptians, This is just a reminder that, if you plan to attend the WPMSIIP workshop in Oviedo (http://bellman.ciencias.uniovi.es/~ssipta18/WPMSIIP.html) we can cover your accommodation at the student residence for 200 euros. In that case, you should pay the registration fee at https://intranetfuo.uniovi.es/en/web/intranet-fuo/congresos/taller_wpmsiip?… Of course, you are also free to book any other accommodation on your own, and in that case WPMSIIP is free as usual. The deadline for this early registration is May, 1; after that the fee will increase in 100 euros. If you have any questions or comments, you can contact either me or Ignacio Montes (imontes(a)uniovi.es). Looking forward to meeting you in Oviedo. Best regards, Enrique

[SIPTA] 2nd Cal for Abstracts: ECDA special session on imprecision in statistical learning: deadline April 1st
by Thomas Augustin 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Dear members of the sipta list, Might we direct your attention briefly once more to the Special Session on Statistical Learning with Imprecision we are organizing at ECDA 2018, 4 July - 6 July 2018, Paderborn, Germany? We think that this an excellent opportunity for members of our community to exchange ideas, also with members from other communities including more traditional data analysts. ECDA is quite an interesting general conference. The motto of this year is "Multidisciplinary Facets of Data Science" in a very broad sense. Please note that submitting an abstract by April 1st is sufficient to apply (, although there is an additional post conference proceedings option, see below.) Further information is available from: https://www.hds.utc.fr/~sdesterc/dokuwiki/_media/ecda2018_special_sess.pdf http://www.ecda2018.de 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 wishes, Sebastien Destercke and Thomas Augustin

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.

[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.

====================================================================== Joint SMPS/BELIEF 2018, 17th-21th September 2018 5th International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2018) and 9th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2018) Dates: September 17th-21th, 2018 Location: Compiègne, France Submission deadline: March 15th, 2018 Notification: April 30th, 2018 Final version: May 30th, 2018 Further information: https://smpsbelief2018.hds.utc.fr/ ====================================================================== 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 event. Submissions and Proceedings ============================ The proceedings of the BELIEF 2018 and SMPS 2018 conferences will appear as separate volumes, both published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS/LNAI format, indexed by ISI Web of Science; EI Engineering Index; ACM Digital Library; dblp; Google Scholar; IO-Port; MathSciNet; Scopus; Zentralblatt MATH. Two types of paper are accepted: - Long papers that should be at most 8 pages long and present original contributions with significant results, or detailed position papers. - Short papers that should be 4 pages long and present for example more preliminary works, innovative applications, short position papers. In addition, we accept abstract-only contributions, that will be presented as posters during the conference. Note that those contributions will not be included in the proceedings. 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. Invited speakers ================== We are very happy to announce that the following speakers have agreed to give an invited talk at the conference: - Thomas Augustin (Ludwig Maximilians Universität München) - Scott Ferson (University of Liverpool) - Ryan Martin (North Carolina State University) ====================================================================== The 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 We would be grateful if you could inform potentially interested participants of these conferences.
