Dear Colleagues,
we are organizing a special session entitled Uncertainty in Medicine to be held within the Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems Conference (July 11-15, 2022,  Milan, Italy).
All details about the conference can be found at: https://ipmu2022.disco.unimib.it/

The session aims at exchanging the experiences of scientists struggling with uncertainty in medicine and discussing possible future developments in this area.
Uncertainty is a serious problem in everyday medical practice, and it is observed and described in the medical literature. There are many meanings and types of imprecisions in medicine with each of them having a different effect on the diagnosis or treatment. The imprecision types may be divided into objective (caused by the complexity or nature of the phenomenon) or subjective (caused by a personal opinion or doctor’s interpretation) or caused by the low quality of the information, e.g., due to incompleteness of the data. Through the use of soft computing methods, it is possible to construct models that, when uncertainty is taken into account properly, increase the effectiveness of medical decision-making.

Potential topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Intelligent decision-making systems in medical environments,
• Machine learning based on medical data,
• Uncertain data aggregation and fusion,
• Applications of Fuzzy sets, Rough sets, and their extensions,
• Modeling different types of uncertainty in medical data,
• Assessment of medical data and models quality.

Submissions can be made through the IPMU’2022 website: https://ipmu2022.disco.unimib.it/submission/. Remind to select "S13. Uncertainty in Medicine" as " Special Session".
