[SIPTA] BELIEF 2021 - last call for papers - final submission deadline
by frederic.pichon April 27, 2021

April 27, 2021

========================================================================= 6th International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2021) Dates: October 15th-19th, 2021 Location: Shanghai, China (online participation also possible) Final submission deadline: May 9th, 2021 Notification: June 25th, 2021 Final version: July 15th, 2021 Further information: https://www.lgi2a.univ-artois.fr/events/belief2021/ ========================================================================= 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. It has been applied in diverse areas such as machine learning, information fusion and risk analysis. The 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. Later editions were held in Compiègne, France in 2012, Oxford, UK in 2014, Prague, Czech Republic in 2016, and again in Compiègne, France in 2018. The Sixth International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2021) will be located in Shanghai, China, on October 15-19, 2021, together with the 2021 International Conference on Cognitive analytics, Granular computing, and Three-way decisions (CCGT). It will be held both onsite and online due to the COVID-19 situation (see Venue and Registration below for details). Submission and Proceedings ========================== The proceedings of the BELIEF 2021 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 2021 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 (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-approximate-reas…) IJAR Best Paper Award ===================== Thanks to the continued support of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, the best papers presented at the conference will be distinguished by the IJAR Best Paper Award. The prize will consist of a certificate and 1000 euros, which will be split between the winners. Invited speakers ================ We are very happy to announce that the following speakers have agreed to give an invited talk at the conference: - Associate Prof. Chunlai Zhou (Renmin University, China), title of the talk: "Basic Utility Theory for Belief Functions" - Prof. Deqiang Han (Xi'an Jiaotong University, China), title of the talk: "Learning-based Modelized Methods for Evidence Combination" - Prof. Zengjing Chen (Shandong University, China), title of the talk: "A Central Limit Theorem for Sets of Probability Measures" - Prof. Van-Nam Huynh (Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Japan), title of the talk: "Machine Learning coupled with Evidential Reasoning for User Preferences" Tutorials ========= The program of this edition of the BELIEF conference will include tutorials from experts on belief functions and their applications. Confirmed tutorials: - "Generalized Dempster-Shafer theory based on random fuzzy sets" (Prof. Thierry Denoeux, Université de technologie de Compiègne, France) - "Introduction to information fusion in belief function theory" (Prof. Frédéric Pichon, Université d’Artois, Béthune, France). Venue and Registration ====================== To accommodate for the uncertainties surrounding travel possibilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, participants have two options to attend the conference: either online or onsite. The onsite event will take place at the Gu Cun Park Hotel (No.4788 Hu Tai Road, Baoshan District, Shanghai). The registration fee for the onsite participants will include the following items: - Full attendance to the two conferences (BELIEF/CCGT), including keynote talks and tutorials - Online BELIEF 2021 conference proceedings - Gala dinner - Welcome reception - Conference bag - Coffee breaks and lunches We expect most keynote talks to be given onsite (and tutorials to be given online).

FYI, imprecise probabilities are one of the highlighted topics -----Original Message----- From: Cassio de Campos Sent: Monday, March 1, 2021 10:29 AM https://www.auai.org/uai2021/call_for_workshops Submission deadline: March 8, 2021, 23:59 UTC We invite submissions of workshop proposals for the UAI 2021 conference. Workshops will be held virtually on July 30th following the main conference. Each workshop will be allocated half a day, starting at 6am or 6pm US Pacific Time. The goal of the workshops is to provide an informal forum for research topics that are relevant to the UAI community, with emphasis on the discussion of open problems and challenges. Workshop organisers will be in charge of arranging participation, content, and moderation of the workshops. Requirements A significant portion of the workshops should be dedicated to contributed content. Workshop organisers can decide whether contributions will consist of full papers or (extended) abstracts. We encourage workshop organisers to consider diversity aspects when creating the lists of invited speakers and panellists. In particular, we welcome the inclusion of early-career researchers. In addition to the aspects above, proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria: • Relevance to the UAI audience • Potential impact • Quality & clarity of the proposal • Organisers' relevant expertise The workshops should comply with the following requirements • Call for papers/abstracts: Before April 15th • Paper/abstract submission deadline: Between May 15th and May 31st • Paper/abstract notification: Before June 30th Submission Instructions Important dates: • Submission deadline: March 8, 2021, 23:59 UTC (this is a strict deadline) • Notification: April 2, 2021 Proposals should be in single column A4 or letter .pdf format, with font size 11 or greater, and no longer than two pages (excluding organisers’ details and bibliographic references). Proposals should be sent to the following email address: uai2021workshopchair(a)gmail.com. Proposals should contain • Workshop title • A description of the topics to be covered and an explanation of why the workshop is of interest to the UAI audience • A short description of the planned activities (talks, posters, panels) • An indicative list of invited speakers and panelists, specifying who is confirmed and who is unconfirmed • A brief description of the history of the workshop, if it previously took place, and of similar past workshops at other major AI/ML conferences in the last 2 years • List of organisers with email addresses and webpage URL (or a short bio for organisers who do not have a webpage) Silvia Chiappa UAI 2021 Workshop Chair uai2021workshopchair(a)gmail.com https://www.auai.org/uai2021/

[SIPTA] Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning at Flairs 34 - Last Call for Papers (deadline February 16)
by Antonucci Alessandro Feb. 3, 2021

Feb. 3, 2021

*** Apologies for multiple postings *** [UR @ FLAIRS 34] LAST CALL FOR PAPERS Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning at the 34th Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-34) May 16-19, 2021 - North Miami Beach, Florida (US) FLAIRS 34 will have a safe physical conference to the extent possible, and provide an option for online presentation for those who cannot attend the physical conference. Paper submission deadline: February 16, 2021 Conference website: http://www.flairs-34.info Special 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 this way 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 '21 Special Track at the 34th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference (FLAIRS-34) is the 26th in the series. Like the past tracks, UR'21 seeks to bring together researchers working on broad issues related to reasoning under uncertainty. Papers on all aspects of uncertain reasoning are invited. Papers of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Uncertain reasoning formalisms, calculi and methodologies - Reasoning with probability, possibility, fuzzy logic, belief function, vagueness, granularity, rough sets, and probability logics - Modelling and reasoning using imprecise and indeterminate information, such as: Choquet capacities, comparative orderings, convex sets of measures, and interval-valued probabilities - Exact, approximate and qualitative uncertain reasoning - Inference and learning with graphical models of uncertainty (e.g., Bayesian networks) - Multi-agent uncertain reasoning and decision making - Decision-theoretic planning and Markov decision process - Temporal reasoning and uncertainty; non-monotonic reasoning; similarity-based reasoning - Conditional logics, description logic, logic programming - Argumentation - Belief change and merging - Construction of models from elicitation, data mining and knowledge discovery - Uncertain reasoning in information retrieval, filtering, fusion, diagnosis, prediction, situation assessment - Uncertain reasoning in data management - Practical applications of uncertain reasoning (e.g., machine learning, computer vision and animation) All accepted papers will be published as FLAIRS proceedings by AAAI Press. A special issue of an international journal will be devoted to extended versions of the top papers at the track. ::: Program Committee ::: : Track Chairs : - Alessandro Antonucci (IDSIA, Switzerland) - Salem Benferhat (University of Artois, France) - Kamal Premaratne (University of Miami, US) : PC Members : Mohand Said Allili (Université du Québec en Outaouais) Ofer Arieli (The Academic College of Tel-Aviv, Israel) Ameur Bensefia (Higher Colleges of Technology, United Arab Emirates) Nizar Bouguila (Concordia University, Canada) Cory Butz (University of Regina, Canada) Sebastien Destercke (University of Technology of Compiègne, France) Lluis Godo (Spanish National Research Council, Spain) Love Ekenberg (Stockholm University, Sweden) Christophe Gonzales (LIS, France) Ilyes Jenhani (Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, Saudi Arabia) Gabriele Kern-Isberner (University of Technology Dortmund, Germany) Vladik Kreinovich (University of Texas at El Paso, US) Philippe Leray (University of Nantes, France) Nicholas Mattei (Tulane University, US) Jhonatan S. Oliveira (University of Regina, Canada) Rafael Peñaloza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) Lalintha Polpitya (Mathworks, US) Dilip Sarkar (University of Miami, US) Steven Schockaert (Cardiff University, UK) Karima Sedki (University of Paris 13, France) Kari Sentz (Los Alamos National Laboratory, US) Karim Tabia (Artois University, France) Choh Man Teng (Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, US) Thanuka Wickramarathne (University of Massachusetts, Lowell, US) Yang Xiang (University of Guelph, Canada) ::: Other Information ::: FLAIRS 34 will be held in North Miami Beach, Florida. Additional information on the conference location and travel planning can be found here. Feel free to write the organizers (alessandro(a)idsia.ch, kamal(a)miami.edu, benferhat(a)cril.fr) for any further information about the special track. ::: Submission ::: Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or submitted to another conference while in review). Papers should not exceed 6 pages (4 pages for a poster) and are due by February 16, 2021. For FLAIRS-34, the 2021 conference, the reviewing is a double-blind process. Author names and affiliations must be omitted on submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. The papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, which can also be accessed through the main conference web site. There are two kinds of submissions: full paper (up to 6 pages) to be presented by the author in a 20 minute oral presentation; short paper (up to 4 pages) to be presented in a poster session. Authors should indicate the special track "Uncertain Reasoning" for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS-34 will be published by the AAAI. 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-34.
