Dear All, I forward the call for papers of a conference on Bayesian networks, to be hold in Japan in November.

*************** CALL FOR PAPERS ***************

The second workshop on Advanced Methodologies for Bayesian Networks (AMBN 2015), Nov. 16-18, 2015, Yokohama, Japan. http://ambn2015.bayesnet.org Submission Deadline: September 1, 2015

・ Probabilistic Reasoning using graphical models ・ Combination of Probabilistic Reasoning and Logic in graphical models ・ Learning graphical models ・ Discovery and Inference of Causality ・ Advanced Application of graphical models ・ Statistical Physics Approaches to graphical models

This conference invites the leading researchers:

Russell Almond (Florida State University, USA) Aapo Hyvarinen (University of Helsinki, Finland) Changhe Yuan (Queens College/CUNY, USA) Cassio P. de Campos (Queens University, UK) Shohei Shimizu (Osaka university, Japan)

Besides the general sessions, the following special sessions will be held:

1. Finding an optimal Bayesian network structure from data (Session Chairs: Brandon Malon & Changhe Yuan)

2. Genome analysis based on Bayesian networks (Session Chairs: Cassio de Campos & Seiya Imoto)

3. Causal Discovery (Session Chairs: Shohei Shimizu & Aapo Hyvarinen)

The acceptd papers will be published in Springer LNAI, and a subset of the paper will be considered for publication at Springer New Generation Computing Journal.

We sincerely wait for your submisson to the conference in Japan.
