[SIPTA] Special Track on Uncertain Reasoning at Flairs 34 - Last Call for Papers (deadline February 16)

by Antonucci Alessandro

*** 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.

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.

[SIPTA] Postdoc Position: The Bayesian Approach to Robust Argumentation Machines, Munich

by Thomas Augustin

Dear SIPTA-list members, I'd like to inform you that Stephan Hartmann from the Munich Centre for Mathematical Philosophy invites applications for a postdoc position. The project uses Bayesian Belief Networks for large-scale applications in the context of robust argumentation machines. For more information see https://www.mcmp.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/news/post_doc_rob_arg_2021/ind… Stephan and his team are also quite open to IP, providing a very interesting working environment.

[SIPTA] Lecturer job at Heudiasyc + PhD proposal (uncertainty propagation)

by Sébastien Destercke

Dear all, A small mail to inform you that we have two positions opening: * We will open a permanent lecturer position this year in our team, for which strong profiles in uncertainty reasoning and/or statistical learning are welcomed. Although it is possible to teach in english, the usual teaching language here is french. Just let me know if you want more information. * We have a PhD proposal on (espistemic) uncertainty propagation in problems of 3D satellite image reconstruction (used, e.g., to map towns or track ice melting progression). You can check the details there: https://recrutement.cnes.fr/en/annonce/1100115-050-uncertain-and-incomplete… So, if you have strong candidates that could be interested, or are interested yourself, do not hesitate to contact me. -- ==================================== Sebastien Destercke, Ph.
