[UR @ FLAIRS 34] 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)
Paper submission deadline: November 19, 2020
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.

::: 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 November 17, 2020.
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.
