Daniela Lopez de Luise SIPTA Special Session on ‘Imprecise probabilities: from foundations to applications’,
to be held at the International Conference on Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in knowledge-Based Systems (IPMU 2014)
http://www.ipmu2014.univ-
Montpellier, 15.07.2014 – 19.07.2014
Session topic and goal
This session concerns imprecise probability in the wide sense. It is used as a generic term for uncertainty models, both qualitative and quantitative not using sharp numerical probabilities (comparative probabilities, belief functions, possibilities, lower previsions, etc.).
Such models address inference problems where the relevant information is scarce, vague or conflicting, and decision problems where preferences may be incomplete.
We would like to attract papers that discusses and solve foundational questions, or clearly demonstrate the usefulness of imprecise probabilistic models in a particular application. We would particularly welcome papers going from theoretical advances to the solution of an associated applied problem.
We encourage submissions of papers from future attendees of the SIPTA summer school 2014, in which discussions can be pursued. Submissions from young researchers or about promising preliminary results are therefore welcomed.
Dates
Paper submission: 9 December 2013
Acceptance: 24 February 2013
Conference: 15-19 July 2013
