The 6th Symposium on Conformal and Probabilistic Prediction with Applications(COPA 2017)
14-16 June 2017 , Stockholm, Sweden
Call for Papers:
Quantifying the uncertainty of the predictions produced by classification and regression techniques is an important problem in the field of Machine Learning. Conformal Prediction is a recently developed framework for complementing the predictions of Machine Learning algorithms with reliable measures of confidence. The methods developed based on this framework produce well-calibrated confidence measures for individual examples without assuming anything more than that the data are generated independently by the same probability distribution (i.i.d.).
The symposium welcomes submissions introducing further developments and extensions of the Conformal Prediction framework and describing its application to interesting problems of any field.
