[Imageworld] 1st Call for Papers: BELIEF 2014, the 3rd International Conference on Belief Functions

BELIEF 2014

3rd International Conference on Belief Functions

http://cms.brookes.ac.uk/staff/FabioCuzzolin/BELIEF2014

Oxford, UK, September 26-28 2014

TOPIC: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS OF BELIEF FUNCTIONS

The theory of belief functions, also referred to as evidence theory or Dempster-Shafer theory, was first introduced by Arthur P. Dempster in the context of statistical inference, and was later developed by Glenn Shafer as a general framework for modeling epistemic uncertainty. These early contributions have been the starting points of many important developments, including the Transferable Belief Model and the Theory of Hints.

The theory of belief functions is now well established as a general framework for reasoning with uncertainty, and has well understood connections to other frameworks such as probability, possibility and imprecise probability theories.In 2012 alone, more than 300 papers on belief functions and their applications have been published worldwide. The ambition of the series of International Conferences on Belief Functions – BELIEF – is to bring together the large and expanding community of mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, engineers, economists and practitioners which work on the theoretical foundations of belief calculus or its application to all fields of applied science.This 3rd edition, in particular, aims at more closely involving in the community the many specialists of other fields which use belief functions in their daily work, improving the overall visibility of the field by pushing towards a more coalesced and tightly connected community, and reaching out towards the sibling fields of uncertainty theory, Bayesian reasoning, imprecise probability and fuzzy theory.The conference will provide opportunities to exchange ideas and present new results on both the theory and applications of belief functions and related areas such as random sets, imprecise probability and possibility theory.

Original contributions are solicited on theoretical aspects, including:- decision making- combination rules- conditioning- continuous belief functions- independence and graphical models- statistical inference

– geometry and distance metrics- mathematical foundations- computational frameworksas well as on applications in various areas including, but not limited to:- data and information fusion- pattern recognition

– machine learning and clustering- tracking and data association- data mining- signal and image processing- computer vision- medical diagnosis- business decision- risk analysis- engineering and environment

– climatic changePapers will be presented orally during the conference in a single track session, or in poster sessions.

VENUE

The Belief 2014 Conference will take place in the beautiful St. Hugh’s college, University of Oxford. 

All Oxford colleges can boast of their distinguished history and St Hugh’s is no exception. Founded in 1886, the College is now one of the largest in Oxford, with a total of around 600 undergraduate and graduate students and around 50 Fellows working in a wide range of subjects. St Hugh’s was established to offer an Oxford education to women and the first students at St Hugh’s had to fight hard for their education. Things are different now, but the College still has a strong sense of its radical tradition, and of the importance of opening Oxford up to all who would do well here. The College boasts a lecture theater able to host up to 200 delegates, and a number of boardrooms for poster sessions.

The spirit of this Summer School is inspired by the most prestigious school ever founded in France, Saint Flour, the influence of which has spread to generations of researchers in Mathematics. Since its establishment in Brittany in 1994, this school has become a worldwide reference. It is resolutely international (participants from more than twenty countries have participated to the previous editions) and accessible to young scientists. It is an open yet privileged place for exchanges and discussions of major on-going work. Informal and warm, at a location where the sea and the land combine in a time varying relation, this school brings together, every two years for ten days, the world great teachers and researchers in Biomedical Imaging.
For its 11th edition in 2014, it relocates in the wonderful facility of Saint Jacut de la Mer close to Saint Malo and Mont Saint Michel. A stronger emphasis will be given to the biological aspects of our scientific area as Professor Jean-Christophe Olivo-Marin from Institut Pasteur is joining in as co-chair the founding chairs of the Summer School, Professors Jean-Louis Coatrieux and Christian Roux.
Extensive 6 hours lectures, seminars, and discussions are organized at the highest level, but with the freedom of spirit that is the tradition of Brittany. The school objective is to contribute without any exclusion to advances in a rapidly evolving field, and to foster participation in the adventure of research. It provides up-to-date, state-of-art knowledge on emerging areas and addresses important issues dealing with complex, multivariate systems, going from basic to applied research.

Audience: The Summer School is open to graduate students (M.S., PhD), post doctoral scientists, radiologists, biologists, researchers and engineers in industry.

**Call for Junior Lecturer (Decembre 15th 2013 – March 1st 2014)
It is now an established tradition to invite the participants of the previous schools (2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012) to serve as Junior Lecturer for the next one (2014). An international Committee will select the junior lecturer. The topics that can be addressed by this Junior Lecture are very open, as far as they concern Biomedical Imaging.
