CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
"Workshop on Uncertainty and Probability in Artificial Intelligence"
Sponsored by: AAAI and IEEE
University of California, Los Angeles, California
August 14 through August 16, 1985
The workshop will explore the use of probabilities for decision
making in AI systems. In particular, topics such as the induction of
"theories" from uncertain data, coupling to decision theory, the
accuracy of probability values, and computerized "subjective"
probability estimation will be examined. Participants are encouraged to
submit papers or join the discussions on the following topics:
* Probabilistic Induction and Machine Learning
* Higher Order Probabilities (or accuracy of probabilities)
* Probabilities and "Subjective" Estimates (people and
machines)
* Techniques for Probability Evaluation
* Foundations of Probability Theory for AI
This workshop has been designed to provide an atmosphere which will
foster not only the exchange of information, but also extensive
discussion and participation by all involved.
Paper Submission Details
Authors should submit two copies of an extended abstract to the
program chairman by April 6 for consideration by the review committee.
Each copy should include a title, the names and addresses of all
authors, as well as a primary topic from the above list. One of the
authors should be identified as the principal contact. Acceptance will
be based on originality as well as significance of research
(Notification by April 27). Complete papers should be sent to the
general chairman by June 1 for distribution at the workshop.
