===============================================================================
5th SIPTA SCHOOL ON IMPRECISE PROBABILITY
16-20 July 2012, Pescara, Italy
===============================================================================
SIPTA, the Society for Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications
<http://www.sipta.org/>, organizes its 5th Summer School on 16-20 July
2012 in Pescara, Italy in collaboration with the University G.d'Annunzio.
The school website with the application form can be found at
http://www.sci.unich.it/convegni/2012/siptass/
The current application deadline is 31 March 2012; this may close
earlier if the maximum number of participants is reached.
AIM, TOPICS & TEACHERS
The aim of the school is to give starting PhD students and more
experienced researchers the necessary basis to understand the literature
on and work with imprecise probabilities. The school will take place in
a friendly environment favoring interactions among participants.
Leading experts in the field will give lectures accompanied by hands-on
exercises and supplemented with discussions of applications:
- In the main line of the school Alessandro Antonucci (IDSIA,
Switzerland), Gert de Cooman (Ghent, Belgium), and Fabio Cozman (USP,
Brazil) will lead students from the basics of imprecise probability
theory over conditional and marginal models via independence concepts to
credal networks (imprecise probabilistic graphical networks).
- Didier Dubois (IRIT, France) will give an overview of the wide range
of uncertainty models that can be put under the imprecise probability
umbrella.
- Teddy Seidenfeld (CMU, USA) will explain how to deal with decision
problems involving imprecise probabilities and what their pitfalls are.
- Serena Doria (University G.d'Annunzio, Italy) will introduce Choquet
integral representations and Hausdorff outer measures.
FURTHER INFORMATION & CONTACTS:
Please see the school website for more and up-to-date information and
contact Serena Doria <s.doria@dst.unich.it> and Erik Quaeghebeur
