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.). Since its development the framework has been combined with many popular techniques, such as Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbours, Neural Networks, Ridge Regression etc., and has been successfully applied to many challenging real world problems, such as the early detection of ovarian cancer, the classification of leukaemia subtypes, the diagnosis of acute abdominal pain, the assessment of stroke risk, the recognition of hypoxia in electroencephalograms (EEGs), the prediction of plant promoters, the prediction of network traffic demand, the estimation of effort for software projects and the back calculation of non-linear pavement layer moduli. The framework has also been extended to additional problem settings such as semi-supervised learning, anomaly detection, feature selection, outlier detection, change detection in streams and active learning. The aim of this symposium is to serve as a forum for the presentation of new and ongoing work and the exchange of ideas between researchers on any aspect of Conformal Prediction and its applications. The symposium welcomes submissions introducing further developments and extensions of the Conformal Prediction framework and describing its application to interesting problems of any field. TOPICS The topics of the symposium include, but are not limited to: - Non-conformity measures - Venn prediction - On-line compression modeling - Theoretical analysis of Conformal Prediction techniques - Applications/usages of Conformal Prediction - Machine learning - Pattern recognition - Regression estimation - Density estimation - Algorithmic information theory - Measures of confidence - Applications in Bioinformatics and Medicine - Applications in Information Security and Homeland Security - Data mining and visualization - Big data applications - Data analysis applications in science and engineering - Uncertainty quantification SPECIAL SESSION Novel Directions of Applying Machine Learning in Chemoinformatics IMPORTANT DATES - Paper Submission Deadline: March 31st, 2017 - Author Notifications: May 5th, 2017 - Camera-ready Submission Deadline: May 23rd, 2017 - Symposium Dates: June 14th-16th, 2017 SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit original, English-language research contributions or experience reports.

[ please distribute - apologies for multiple postings ] === Special Session on Conformal Prediction and its Applications (CoPA 2015 Workshop) at the 3rd International Symposium on Learning and Data Sciences (SLDS 2015) Royal Holloway, University of London, UK, April 20 - 22, 2015 http://www.clrc.rhul.ac.uk/slds2015/ === Important Dates: Full paper submission: November 21st, 2014 Author Notifications: December 19th, 2014 Camera-ready submission: January 16th, 2015 Early Registration: January 16th, 2015 Theme: == 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.). Since its development the framework has been combined with many popular techniques, such as Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbours, Neural Networks, Ridge Regression etc., and has been successfully applied to many challenging real world problems, such as the early detection of ovarian cancer, the classification of leukaemia subtypes, the diagnosis of acute abdominal pain, the assessment of stroke risk, the recognition of hypoxia in electroencephalograms (EEGs), the prediction of plant promoters, the prediction of network traffic demand, the estimation of effort for software projects and the backcalculation of non-linear pavement layer moduli. The framework has also been extended to additional problem settings such as semi-supervised learning, anomaly detection, feature selection, outlier detection, change detection in streams and active learning. The aim of this special session is to serve as a forum for the presentation of new and ongoing work and the exchange of ideas between researchers on any aspect of Conformal Prediction and its applications. The special session welcomes submissions introducing further developments and extensions of the Conformal Prediction framework and describing its application to interesting problems of any field. Topics of Interest == Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Non-conformity measures * Modifications of the framework * Venn prediction * On-line compression modeling * Extensions to additional problem settings * Theoretical analysis of Conformal Prediction techniques * Applications/usages of Conformal Prediction Submission == Authors are invited to submit original, English-language research contributions or experience reports. Papers should be no longer than 10 pages formatted according to the well-known LNCS/LNAI Springer style. All aspects of the submission and notification process will be handled online via the EasyChair Conference System at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=slds2015 Please make sure you select the "Special Session: Conformal Prediction and it's Applications" track in the first step of the submission process.

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.). Since its development the framework has been combined with many popular techniques, such as Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbours, Neural Networks, Ridge Regression etc., and has been successfully applied to many challenging real world problems, such as the early detection of ovarian cancer, the classification of leukaemia subtypes, the diagnosis of acute abdominal pain, the assessment of stroke risk, the recognition of hypoxia in electroencephalograms (EEGs), the prediction of plant promoters, the prediction of network traffic demand, the estimation of effort for software projects and the backcalculation of non-linear pavement layer moduli. The framework has also been extended to additional problem settings such as semi-supervised learning, anomaly detection, feature selection, outlier detection, change detection in streams and active learning. The aim of this workshop is to serve as a forum for the presentation of new and ongoing work and the exchange of ideas between researchers on any aspect of Conformal Prediction and its applications. The workshop welcomes submissions introducing further developments and extensions of the Conformal Prediction framework and describing its application to interesting problems of any field. Topics of Interest == Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Non-conformity measures * Modifications of the framework * Venn prediction * On-line compression modeling * Extensions to additional problem settings * Theoretical analysis of Conformal Prediction techniques * Applications/usages of Conformal Prediction Submission == Authors are invited to submit original, English-language research contributions or experience reports.

[UAI] CFP (New Deadline): AIIM Special Issue on Intelligent Biomedical Data, Signal and Image Analysis
CALL FOR PAPERS * Manuscript submission deadline: May 10 * Special Issue on Intelligent Biomedical Data, Signal and Image Analysis Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (http://www.aiimjournal.com/) Aim: A substantial body of work from researchers around the globe has been devoted to the development of intelligent techniques that can analyze biomedical data and extract useful medical knowledge. Applications stemming from such research have had a considerable impact in healthcare. However, still several open problems remain in analyzing biomedical data which existing approaches cannot yet sufficiently tackle. The aim of this special issue is to present novel techniques and introduce new research directions in biomedical data analysis that can help address the key open issues in the field. Important dates: Manuscript submission deadline: May 10, 2013 Notification of initial decisions: August 10, 2013 Revised submission deadline: October 20, 2013 Notification of final decisions: December 20, 2013 Final manuscripts: January 31, 2014 Rationale Recently, a sharp increase in capacity for collecting medical data has become possible with the availability of modern biomedical instrumentation. However, these data should undergo appropriate analysis in order to extract meaningful information that could be of use to medical practitioners. Unfortunately, in most cases traditional data analysis techniques are unable to handle the high dimensionality and sheer volume of such data. This has led to the development of novel data mining techniques that can identify patterns and generate useful medical knowledge. Such techniques, originating from diverse fields such as machine learning, statistics, and signal processing, have received considerable attention during the last decade and are increasingly being adopted in healthcare. Prominent examples include the application of data mining techniques for analyzing data generated by high-throughput 'omic' technologies with the purpose of identifying candidate biomarkers, and the extraction of meaningful features form analyzing data obtained by medical imaging technologies (e.g. MRI, CT). Despite this encouraging progress there are still many challenging issues that have not yet been adequately addressed. Examples include the high-dimensionality of data with an inordinate number of features compared to the limited number of cases, datasets suffering from strong class imbalance, violation of the i.i.d. assumption (which is adopted by most techniques), limited availability of labeled data, and several more. Topics The topics of this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Biomedical data mining * Combination of structured and unstructured data * Intelligent data analysis in bio- and clinical medicine * Intelligent analysis and fusion of genomic and proteomic data * Intelligent medical image analysis * Intelligent medical signal processing * Disease progression prediction * Data and knowledge representation / aquisition * Intelligent Mining of Biomedical Streaming Data Paper submission and review: We invite authors to submit original research articles, as well as comprehensive reviews, which contribute towards the aim of the special issue. Submitted articles should report on significant previously unpublished work. Revised and substantially extended workshop and conference papers in the field will also be considered. In these cases the journal paper submission should contain at least 30% of new, previously unpublished material. Authors should indicate in the cover letter whether the submission is based on, or extends substantially, a previously published conference or workshop paper, in which case a description of what is new must also be included. Manuscripts must follow the AIIM guidelines. The submission format and other relevant details can be found at the journal submission site http://ees.elsevier.com/aiim/. *All manuscripts should indicate in the comments page of the submission process that they are being submitted for the Special Issue on Intelligent Biomedical Data, Signal and Image Analysis.* Each submission will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Guest editors will screen the submissions for eligibility and quality. All papers accepted to the special issue are subject to final approval by the Editor-in-Chief of the AIIM journal. It is planned that the articles will appear in one of the issues of the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Journal, edited and published by Elsevier, in 2014. AIIM typically has 9 issues per year.

[UAI] Deadline Extension: AMAI Special Issue on Conformal Prediction and its Applications
Deadline Extension Special Issue on Conformal Prediction and its Applications Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (http://www.springer.com/computer/ai/journal/10472) * Due to a number of requests, the paper submission deadline is extended to January 31, 2013. * Topic description: 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.). Since its development the framework has been combined with many popular techniques, such as Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbours, Neural Networks, Ridge Regression etc., and has been successfully applied to many challenging real world problems, such as the early detection of ovarian cancer, the classification of leukaemia subtypes, the diagnosis of acute abdominal pain, the assessment of stroke risk, the recognition of hypoxia in electroencephalograms (EEGs), the prediction of plant promoters, the prediction of network traffic demand, the estimation of effort for software projects and the backcalculation of non-linear pavement layer moduli. The framework has also been extended to additional problem settings such as semi-supervised learning, anomaly detection, feature selection, outlier detection, change detection in streams and active learning. The main focus of this special issue is on recent developments and extensions of the Conformal Prediction framework and on its application to interesting problems where the provision of confidence information is valuable. We welcome authors to submit their original research articles, as well as comprehensive reviews on this new topic. Besides the dissemination of the latest results and findings on new theoretical advances and applications of the Conformal Prediction framework it is expected that this special issue will deliver new ideas and identify directions for future research. Paper submission and review: Manuscripts must follow the AMAI guidelines for submission and have to be accompanied by abstracts. Details regarding the submission format and the on-line submission site can be found at http://www.editorialmanager.com/amai/. All manuscripts for this Special Issue should be submitted through this online system by selecting the Submission Type "S70: Conformal Prediction and its Applications". All submitted manuscripts must be of high quality and will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation, relevance and contribution to the field, as well as their suitability to the special issue and their overall quality. The refereeing will be at the same level as in any of the major journal publications in the area. Manuscripts must be written in excellent English and describe original research which has not been published nor is currently under review by other journals or conferences. Previously published conference/workshop papers should be clearly identified by the authors (at the submission stage) and an explanation should be provided how such papers have been extended to be considered for this special issue.
