Ricevo e inoltro volentieri. G From: Andrea Ghiglietti <andrea.ghiglietti(a)unimib.it> Date: Friday, 14 June 2024 at 11:52 To: Giacomo Aletti <giacomo.aletti(a)unimi.it> Subject: Seminar Prof. William F Rosenberger @unimib Dear all, you are invited to participate to the following seminar on Tuesday 25th of June 2024 at 11:00 at University of Milano-Bicocca (Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8 - Milano - Room 2062, Building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: William F. Rosenberger (George Mason University) Title: Casual Inference for Clinical Trails*: A Spellchecker’s Guide to Randomization Tests in Complex Settings Sir Austin Bradford Hill, the developer of the first randomized clinical trial, was a proponent of simplicity in statistical analysis, and strongly emphasized careful study design as the critical component of all medical studies. While he didn’t mention randomization tests in his 1937 book, I believe he would have liked their simplicity and interpretability. Any inference procedure which assumes random sampling from a population ignores Fisherian principles regarding the analysis of designed experiments. And clinical trials are the quintessential designed experiment. While we hear quite often about preservation of type I error rates and, more recently, about causal inference, these are natural elements of a randomization test. We discuss these issues and demonstrate that randomization tests can be used for more complex settings, such as multiple (>2) treatment comparisons, analyses with missing outcome data, and subgroup analyses. It is interesting to note that the only cohort of statisticians NOT excited about randomization tests in this age of causal inference are the designers and conductors of randomized clinical trials! I will conclude with a few historical notes about Fisher and de Finetti*. *The two most often misspelled words during my term as Biometrics co-editor.

Scalable Uncertainty Mangement 2024 (November 27-29, Palermo):
by Giuseppe Sanfilippo 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this mail. =================================== Conference announcement + key dates =================================== The 16th International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management (SUM 2024) will be held in Palermo, Italy from November 27-29, 2024. See: https://sum2024.unipa.it/ Key dates (CET 23:59): Abstract Submission (optional but useful to organizers): June 17, 2024 Paper Submission: June 24, 2024 Notification: August 31, 2024 Camera-ready copies: September 15, 2024 Conference: Nov. 27-29, 2024 ============= Description ============= Established in 2007, the SUM conferences are currently bi-annual events which aim to gather researchers with a common interest in managing and analyzing imperfect information from a wide range of fields, such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Databases, Information Retrieval and Data Mining, the Semantic Web and Risk Analysis, and with the aim of fostering collaboration and cross-fertilization of ideas from the different communities. An originality of the SUM conferences is their care for dedicating a large space of their program to tutorials covering a wide range of topics related to uncertainty management. Each tutorial provides a survey of one of the research areas in the scope of the conference. ===================== Topics of Interest ===================== We solicit papers on the management of large amounts of complex kinds of uncertain, incomplete, or inconsistent information. We are particularly interested in papers that focus on bridging gaps, for instance between different communities, between numerical and symbolic approaches, or between theory and practice. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 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 ======================== Submission Guidelines ======================== SUM 2024 solicits original papers in the following three categories: - Long papers (at most 14 pages, references excluded): technical papers reporting original research or survey papers - Short papers (between 4 and 7 pages, references excluded): papers reporting promising work-in-progress, system descriptions, position papers on controversial issues, or survey papers providing a synthesis of some current research trends - Extended abstracts (2 pages) of recently published work in a relevant journal or top-tier conference All SUM submissions must be formatted according to the LNCS/LNAI guidelines:https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-pro… Papers should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sum2024 ============= Publication ============= Accepted long (at most 14 pages) and short papers (2-7 pages) will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. Authors of an accepted long or short paper will be expected to sign copyright release forms, and one author is expected to give a presentation at the conference. Authors of accepted abstracts (2 pages) will be expected to present their work during the conference, but the extended abstracts will not be published in the LNCS/LNAI proceedings (they will be made available in a separate booklet). ========================================================================================= Organization ========================================================================================= Sébastien Destercke (Université de technologie de Compiègne), PC Co Chair Maria Vanina Martinez (IIIA-CSIC), PC Co Chair Giuseppe Sanfilippo, (University of Palermo), General/Local Chair

Seminario Dr. Andrea Brancaccio, CNR-IMATI, 13/06/2024
by ANTONELLA BODINI 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

Si avvisa che in data 13-06-2024, alle ore 11:00 precise presso l'Area della Ricerca 1 del CNR, in sala A, il Dr. Andrea Brancaccio, CNR-IMATI, terrà un seminario dal titolo Adaptive Assessment of Knowledge and Planning Using Knowledge Space Theory Sunto: Adaptive individual assessment utilizes algorithms that adjust to each individual's ability based on their responses. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the development and implementation of adaptive assessments using Knowledge Space Theory. It will also explore the theoretical foundations underlying this approach, highlighting its benefits and applications in educational and performance-based contexts. In these settings, this approach develops tools that minimize the number of questions asked while maximizing the information gathered about an individual's knowledge, competencies, abilities, and performance. Gli interessati possono partecipare in presenza o da remoto, attraverso il link sotto riportato. Per ragioni organizzative, gli interessati a partecipare in presenza sono pregati di rispondere a questa mail indicando la loro intenzione entro la mattina stessa del seminario.
