Call For Papers - CFP

Symposium format

It is a tradition of the ISIPTA meetings that we try to avoid parallel sessions. Each accepted paper is to be presented both

in a plenary session, where we ask for a short introduction and sketch of the context and relevance of the paper; and

in a poster session, where ample opportunity and time is given for detailed explanation and discussion.

We also invite posters without a paper and hope to attract people who wish to present and discuss their work within the framework of the conference but whose results are not yet finalized, for instance, for practitioners who wish to discuss possibilities for applications in their field using imprecise probabilities, or for starting students. A poster without paper can also be an option to advertise ongoing work or to discuss challenges.

Themes of the symposium

The symposium is open to contributions on all aspects of imprecise probability. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

models of coherent imprecise assessments

sets of probability measures, credal sets

interval-valued probabilities

upper and lower expectations or previsions

non-additive set functions, and in particular Choquet capacities (and Choquet integration), possibility measures, belief and plausibility measures

random sets

rough sets

comparative probability orderings

qualitative reasoning about uncertainty

imprecision in utilities and expected utilities

limit laws for imprecise probabilities

physical models of imprecise probability

philosophical foundations for imprecise probabilities

psychological models for imprecision and indeterminacy in probability assessments

elicitation techniques for imprecise probabilities

robust statistics

probabilistic bounding analysis

data mining with imprecise probabilities

dealing with missing data

estimation and learning of imprecise probability models

decision making with imprecise probabilities

ambiguity aversion and economic models of imprecise probability

uncertainty in financial markets

game-theoretic probability

algorithms for manipulating imprecise probabilities

Dempster-Shafer theory

information algebras and probabilistic argumentation systems

probabilistic logic, propositional and first-order

credal networks and other graphical models

credal classification

applications in engineering, computer science and artificial intelligence, statistics, economics, finance, management, psychology, philosophy and related fields.

Submissions

All papers will be reviewed. Accepted papers will be published online and in print in the Conference Proceedings. If you wish to present a poster without paper, please submit a one-page abstract of the work you intend to present. Abstracts of accepted posters will be made available at the conference and online.
