CFPFrom: (Choh Man Teng) Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 16:33:41 -0500 (CDT) Subject: CFP: Imprecise and Indeterminate Probabilities in AI, deadline Oct 28, 2001 Special Track on Imprecise and Indeterminate Probabilities in Artificial Intelligence FLAIRS 2002 The 15th International FLAIRS Conference Pensacola, Florida Crown Plaza Pensacola Grand Hotel May 16-18, 2002 In cooperation with AAAI Imprecise and indeterminate probabilities encompass the many mathematical models of uncertainty that cannot be given sharp numerical boundaries. This arises from information that is scare, vague, inconsistent, or incomplete. There is little reason to assume that we can always obtain exact point-valued probabilities, especially since we are modelling events that are inherently uncertain. Statements such as "the probability of a power outage is between 0.3 and 0.5" is more natural and realistic than their "exact" counterparts such as "the probability of a power outage is 0.39482." Research papers are solicited for the Special Track on Imprecise and Indeterminate Probabilities in Artificial Intelligence, as part of the FLAIRS-2002 conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, * Modelling and representation of imprecise and indeterminate information, using for instance o Belief functions o Choquet capacities o Comparative probability orderings o Convex sets of probability measures o Bayes' nets with imprecise probabilities o Interval-valued probabilities o Upper and lower expectations or previsions * Inference and decision making using imprecise and indeterminate probabilities * Comparative analyses and integration of approaches * Extending standard techniques for imprecise and indeterminate information Paper Submission and Publication --------------------------------- Full papers of a maximum of 5 pages (AAAI style) will be reviewed. Formatting guidelines can be found at http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/authorinstructions.html Electronic submission (postscript or PDF files preferred) should be sent to Choh Man Teng at cmteng@ai.uwf.edu. Please also include in a plain text message the following information: title, author(s), abstract, and a list of keywords. If electronic submission is not possible, hardcopies can be snail mailed to Choh Man Teng Institute for Human and Machine Cognition University of West Florida 40 South Alcaniz Street Pensacola FL 32501 USA The deadline for submission is October 28, 2001. Accepted papers will appear as regular papers in the FLAIRS-2002 conference proceedings published by AAAI Press. Selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence.
