Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM2012) Workshop
Granada, Spain, 19-21 September 2012 (http://leo.ugr.es/pgm2012)
*Call for papers:*
The aim of the workshop is to bring together people interested in
probabilistic graphical models
and provide a forum for discussion of the latest research developments
in this field. The workshop
is organized so as to facilitate discussions and collaboration among the
participants also outside
the workshop sessions. To facilitate the spreading of research results
and promote interactions
among the participants, parallel sessions will be avoided and the
workshop will be organized
around a single thread of plenary and posters sessions.
We welcome theoretical and applied contributions related to the
following topics:
- Principles of Bayesian (belief) networks, chain graphs, decision
networks, influence diagrams,
and other probabilistic graphical models (PGMs).
- Information processing in PGMs (exact and approximate inference).
- Learning and data mining in the context of PGMs: machine learning
approaches, statistical testing
and search methods, MCMC simulation.
- Exploitation of results from related disciplines for the construction
of PGMs, e.g., statistics, information
theory, optimization, decision making under uncertainty, multivariate
statistical analysis.
- Software systems based on PGMs.
- Application of PGMs to real-world problems.
We invite submissions that concern one or more of the above topics, or
any other aspects related to
probabilistic graphical models. Papers submitted for review should
report on original, previously
unpublished work. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least two
reviewers.
