11th International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM 2017)

October 4-6, 2017,Granada, Spain

Call for Papers :

The International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM) is an annual conference that was launched in 2007 with the goal to exploit and strengthen the connection between the Artificial Intelligence and Database communities. It aims at bringing together all those researchers interested in the management of uncertain, incomplete or inconsistent information. Such information originates commonly in applications where significant computational effort is needed to process data in a meaningful and semantically justifiable manner. Typical applications of that kind include databases, the Web, and the life sciences.

Topics of Interest :

Imperfect information in databases
• Methods for modeling, indexing, and querying uncertain databases
• Top-k queries, skyline query processing, and ranking
• Approximate, fuzzy query processing
• Uncertainty in data integration and exchange
• Uncertainty and imprecision in geographic information systems
• Probabilistic databases and possibilistic databases?
• Data provenance and trust
• Data summarization
• Very large datasets

Imperfect information in information retrieval and semantic web applications
• Approximate schema and ontology matching
• Uncertainty in description logics and logic programming
• Learning to rank, personalization, and user preferences
• Probabilistic language models
• Combining vector-space models with symbolic representations
• Inductive reasoning for the semantic web

Imperfect information in artificial intelligence
• Statistical relational learning, graphical models, probabilistic inference
• Argumentation, defeasible reasoning, belief revision
• Weighted logics for managing uncertainty
• Reasoning with imprecise probability, Dempster-Shafer theory, possibility theory
• Approximate reasoning, similarity-based reasoning, analogical reasoning
• Planning under uncertainty, reasoning about actions, spatial and temporal reasoning
• Incomplete preference specifications
• Learning from data

Risk analysis
• Aleatory vs. epistemic uncertainty
• Uncertainty elicitation methods
• Uncertainty propagation methods
• Decision analysis methods
• Tools for synthesizing results
