These models include belief functions, Choquet capacities, comparative probability orderings, convex sets of probability measures, fuzzy measures, interval-valued probabilities, possibility measures, plausibility measures, and upper and lower expectations or previsions. Imprecise probability models are needed in inference problems where the relevant information is scarce, vague or conflicting and in decision problems where preferences may also be incomplete. The school is intended as a wide and deep introduction to imprecise probability topics, both theoretical and applied. Specifically, the school will focus on coherent lower previsions and their behavioural interpretation, non-additive measures and applications to decision theory, the imprecise Dirichlet model, predictive inference with imprecise probabilities, and knowledge discovery from data sets under weak assumptions. It will be an aim of the school to connect the mentioned topics into an overall picture within the framework of imprecise probabilities. The Second SIPTA School on Imprecise Probabilities will take place in the Headquarters of the Rey Juan Carlos University Foundation, in Madrid (Spain), on July 24-28, 2006. It is an event organized by the International Society for Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (SIPTA) and by the Group of Statistics and Decision Sciences (GECD) from Rey Juan Carlos University. You can find all the relevant information on http://bayes.escet.urjc.es/~emiranda/sipta Schedule and topics Each of the five days of the summer school will be devoted to a different topic, and the time will be divided equally between theory and exercises/applications. The topics covered will be: *The Imprecise Dirichlet Model (Jean-Marc Bernard, Université Paris V). *Predictive inference with imprecise probabilities (Gert de Cooman, Ghent University). *Non-additive measures and applications on decision theory (Jean-Yves Jaffray, Université Paris VI). *Coherent lower previsions and their behavioural interpretation (Enrique Miranda, Rey Juan Carlos University). *Knowledge discovery from data sets under weak assumptions: the case of prior ignorance and incomplete data (Marco Zaffalon, IDSIA). Registration If you would like to attend the school on Imprecise Probabilities, please fill in the pre-registration form on http://bayes.escet.urjc.es/~emiranda/sipta no later than March 31, 2006, enclosing a short CV (no longer than 2 pages).

Vladik ************************************************************************ ************** Call for Papers 9th Fuzzy Days International Conference on Computational Intelligence September 18 - 20, 2006 - Dortmund, Germany Introduction Fuzzy Days in Dortmund were organized for the first time in 1991. Initially, the conference was intended for scientists and practitioners as a platform for discussions on theory and applications of fuzzy logic. It was only consequential to launch the 4th Fuzzy Days in 1994 as a conference for Computational Intelligence (CI), one of the world's first conferences featuring Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks and Evolutionary Algorithms together in one event. Following this highly successful tradition, the 9th Fuzzy Days' aim is to provide once again an international forum for reporting significant results on the theory and applications of CI methods. Emphasis shall also be put on the potentials resulting from their combinations. We are confident that the 9th Fuzzy Days will be an excellent forum to exchange ideas, share experiences, present results and discuss the potentials of Computational Intelligence. We are looking forward to meeting you in Dortmund.

Fuelled by applications in many areas there has been intensive research on this topic over the last two decades. This special issue aims to highlight the advances that have been achieved in recent times and to generate a state of the art account of the developments in algebraic and analytic theory of the joint spectral radius, computational aspects and application areas. Theoretical developments in the area have used methods from diverse mathematical fields. Computational complexity theory has been used to show that in general the joint spectral radius is hard to determine, while convex analysis lies at the foundation of many results obtained on analytic properties, and methods from ergodic theory can be used to characterize the continuous time version of the joint spectral radius in the framework of stochastic dynamical systems. In order to make the broad scope of methods visible we encourage submissions from all areas that have an impact on the understanding of the joint spectral radius ranging from matrix analysis, numerical analysis, algebraic theory of matrix semigroups, computational complexity theory, stability theory of switched linear systems, spectral theory of semigroups of matrices. We note that depending on the authors the joint spectral radius is also known as the maximal Lyapunov exponent or Lyapunov indicator, the Bohl exponent or the exponential growth rate and we encourage the submission of papers that create links to fields where notions similar to the joint spectral radius are studied, e.g. papers on continuous time versions of the joint spectral radius and extensions to infinite dimensions. The joint spectral radius has found numerous applications in diverse areas; e.g. it has been used in coding theory to express the capacity of certain channels, in the stability analysis of consensus algorithms,=20 to quantify the smoothness of wavelets obtained via dilation equations,=20 in combinatorial number theory, in probability to analyze the=20 distributions of random power series, in stability analysis of switched=20 linear systems, in approximation theory to verify the convergence of=20 subdivision algorithms,and in the theory of fractals and attractors. We=20 particularly invite papers that explore applications in these or other=20 areas. All papers submitted must meet the publication standards of Linear Algebra and its Applications and will be refereed in the usual way. They should be submitted to one of the special editors of this issue listed below by 31 August 2006.

At a meeting last week, Professor Mendel informed me that he will be very much interested in a strong interval participation in the 2007 Symposium on Foundations of Computational Intelligence (SFOCI) of which he is one of the organizers. Here is a detailed info about this meeting. Vladik P.S. Yes, this is not a typo it is 2007, 1 1/2 years ahead. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Mendel [mailto:jmmprof [at] comcast [dot] net] ... The 2007 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI 2007), sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, is the first multi-conference event that brings together focused symposia in diverse areas of computational intelligence. The meeting, to be held April 1-5, 2007 in Honolulu, Hawaii at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort, will feature 10 or more symposia running concurrently. The topics of these symposia are focused and include computational intelligence in data mining, artificial life, computational intelligence in image and signal processing, the foundations of computational intelligence, and many more. The SSCI 2007 meeting will provide participants access to all sessions of every symposium or conference for one registration price. Each participant will also receive the proceedings from all events. SSCI 2007 serves as a springboard for new symposia sponsored by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society and a venue for individuals in various research areas within computational intelligence to gather in paradise and collaborate with colleagues. Jerry Mendel, Xin Yao and Takashi Omori are the Co-Chairs of the Symposium on Foundations of Computational Intelligence (SFOCI). This symposium will focus on the mathematical, theoretical and applied foundations of the techniques that comprise computational intelligence and machine learning, including but not limited to neural networks, fuzzy logic and evolutionary computing. ... I wish to stress that the SFOCI is different in scope from, e.g. FUZZY IEEE, in that it will focus exclusively on foundational issues.

Professor Smets was an internationally recognized leader in the uncertainty community; in addition to authoring hundreds of papers and numerous books, he organized many conferences, edited books and special issues, and actively promoted innovative techniques in representation and processing uncertainty, including interval-related ones. Starting from the 1990s, his main interval-related activity was related to his two-level model for describing belief, a model that he called Transferable Belief Model. Traditionally, in order to quantify (subjective) uncertainty, researchers use a decision making paradigm, in which a person's degrees of belief in different statements about the real world can be revealed by checking how much this person is willing to bet that a statement will turn out to be actually true. In terms of betting, the so-called Dutch book argument -- that there should be no way to consistently gain money on reasonable person's bets -- provably leads to the fact that the corresponding bets should be described by a probability distribution. Thus, subjective beliefs are usually described by probability distributions. In this "pignistic" approach (from "pignus", Latin for "bet"), it seems natural to represent uncertainty by assuming that instead of a single probability distribution, we have a class of possible probability distributions. A next question is: when we learn a new piece of evidence, how will the beliefs change? In case we have a single probability distribution, it is well known how to use Bayesian formulas to update the probability of different statements. If the expert's uncertainty is described by a class of probability distributions, then, within the pignistic approach, it is reasonable to apply Bayesian formula to each distribution from the class. Smets has argued that the Bayesian approach is not always the best way to describe the corresponding belief changes -- or, as he described them, "transfer" of belief from one alternative to another based on the new evidence. He argued that while decisions based on beliefs can indeed be described in probabilistic terms, we ourselves do not represent these beliefs as probabilities. He therefore suggested that to adequately describe belief transfer, we need, when representing our current degree of belief, to use not only the traditional pignistic level of subjective probabilities, but also the "credal" levels in which we store the actual beliefs which are used to make decisions. For example, our belief may be that the actual value of a physical quantity is within a given interval. A more complex case is when we have several possible intervals I1,...,In, and our unit belief is distributed between these intervals, so to each interval Ii, we attach a belief assignment mi in such a way that m1+...+mn=1. In addition to beliefs themselves, there should also be a mechanism - which Smets called a "pignistic transformation" - for transforming beliefs into probability distributions (corresponding to decision under these beliefs). In the simplest case when we believe that the actual value of the quantity is one of the finitely many possible values v1,...,vm, there is a reasonable pignistic distribution: namely, a natural idea is to use Laplace's Insufficient Reason Principle and consider these values to be equally probable, with each having a probability 1/m. In more general uncertainty situations, we need pignistic transformations which generalize this principle. One of Smets' research directions was formulating reasonable properties of such transformations, and finding all possible transformations which satisfy all these properties. When new evidence appears, what is actually changed are the beliefs at the credal level. The changed beliefs lead to a changed probability distribution. Sometimes, the resulting change in the probability distribution is the same as if we simply apply the Bayesian approach -- this is the case, e.g., if the belief is that the value is within an interval, the new evidence enables us to shrink the interval of possible values, and the pignistic transformation produces a uniform distribution on the given interval. However, in many other cases, we get different results. Another interesting problem is how to combine beliefs of several experts. Smets described reasonable properties that the corresponding combination rules should follow, and, in many reasonable cases, described combination rules which satisfy these properties. His main ideas are described in his two archival papers Ph. Smets. The combination of evidence in the transferable belief model. IEEE Transactions of Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 12:447-458, 1990. Ph. Smets and R. Kennes. The transferable belief model. Artificial Intelligence, 66:191-234, 1994. and in his numerous follow-up publications. Professor Smets is known for his numerous technical results, but his most important contribution, in our opinion, is in his interesting and groundbreaking ideas. These ideas will continue to flourish and will inevitably lead to new theoretical and applied developments in the representation and processing of uncertainty. Hung T.

Baker, It shouldn't be too difficult to automatically "jumble" e-mail addresses in a way that makes it difficult to harvest e-mail addresses. Anybody familiar with simple Unix shell or perl scripts should be able to whip up a script for you to do it. Assuming you have access to the files from a Unix file system, even I could whip up a script to do it, if you like, and if this will satisfy the concerns of those on the list. For example, running all the text files through something like this would probably suffice: sed 's/\([a-zA-Z0-9.][a-zA-Z0-9.]*\)@\([a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9]*\)\.\([a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9]*\)/\1 [at] \2 [dot] \3/g' This would, for example, translate "wayne [at] ics [dot] uci.edu" to "wayne [at] ics [dot] uci.edu", and "rbk [at] louisiana [dot] edu" to "rbk [at] louisiana [dot] edu". A little bit more work could make it a bit more random, if we want to be overly paranoid. - Wayne From owner-reliable_computing [at] interval [dot] louisiana.edu Wed Nov 16 09:36:20 2005 Received: from interval.louisiana.edu (daemon@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by interval.louisiana.edu (8.13.1/8.13.4/ull-interval-math-majordomo-1.5) with ESMTP id jAGFaKJt003045 for ; Wed, 16 Nov 2005 09:36:20 -0600 (CST) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by interval.louisiana.edu (8.13.1/8.13.4/Submit) id jAGFaJgp003044 for reliable_computing-outgoing; Wed, 16 Nov 2005 09:36:19 -0600 (CST) Received: from itdsrvmail01.utep.edu (itdsrvmail01.utep.edu [129.108.0.82]) by interval.louisiana.edu (8.13.1/8.13.4/ull-interval-math-majordomo-1.5) with ESMTP id jAGFa98V003040 for ; Wed, 16 Nov 2005 09:36:16 -0600 (CST) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5.7226.0 Content-class: urn:content-classes:message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Subject: FW: Fuzzy Logic reaches the heart of the world technology : Silicon Valley Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 08:36:04 -0700 Message-ID: <77B4C8824930004AAC10E1B01576254A98274F [at] itdsrvmail01 [dot] utep.edu> X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: Thread-Topic: Fuzzy Logic reaches the heart of the world technology : Silicon Valley Thread-Index: AcXqg64A5x42b+E3R3K6QXLLeMZ6BAAPs0igAAAyp/A= From: "Kreinovich, Vladik" To: , Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by interval.louisiana.edu id jAGFaG8V003041 Sender: owner-reliable_computing [at] interval [dot] louisiana.edu Precedence: bulk Dear Friends, Because of the interrelation between fuzzy techniques and interval computations, the following may be of interest to you.

Please note that interval-valued probabilities and interval-valued integrals coming from random sets are one of the topis of interest. *************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPROXIMATE REASONING Special Issue on RANDOM SETS AND IMPRECISE PROBABILITIES Random sets, or measurable multi-valued mappings, constitute a powerful generalisation of random variables with applications on areas as diverse as economics, data mining or environmental sciences. On the other hand, imprecise probability models have arisen in the last years as a powerful alternative to classical probability for situations when imprecision or vagueness prevents the use of a precise and unique probability distribution with certain guarantees. This special issue is meant to cover the several connections existing between random sets and imprecise probabilities. Foundational issues on this topic include, but are not limited to, upper and lower probabilities (capacities) induced by random sets, sets of measurable selections, upper and lower integrals of random sets and coarse data analysis. Applications of random sets and imprecise probabilities in Computer Science, Economics, Social Sciences or Information Technology, are also welcome. Authors should submit their papers electronically to both special issue editors. The papers must contain original unpublished work that is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Due to limitations of space, only papers with less than 20 pages will be considered. Manuscripts submitted to this special issue should follow the format guidelines that can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/ijar, and will be refereed according to the standard procedures for International Journal of Approximate Reasoning. The DEADLINE for submissions is May 15, 2006. The issue is expected to be ready by early 2007. Electronic submission is required.
