INFORMATION 
==

https://function-2021.cs.ru.nl/

This interdisciplinary workshop aims at bringing together researchers from 
different areas that formally model and analyze systems under uncertainty. We 
aim to solicit presentations and discussions on aspects of uncertainty 
including:

Epistemic vs Aleatoric Uncertainty, where there may be uncertainty on exact 
distributions in a system and solutions need to robustly account for such 
uncertainty;
Parametric Uncertainty, where controllable system parameters are described by a 
function and solutions need to synthesize parameter values that satisfy given 
system specifications;
Uncertainty that stems from statistical inference of distributions that are 
subject to confidence values and may take the form of interval Markov models;
Uncertainty in the exact system state due to for example measurement errors or 
imprecise sensors, leading to partial or incorrect information.

Such topics constitute active and relevant research in the areas including 
artificial intelligence, formal methods, operations research, and optimization. 
However, techniques and results have been obtained largely independently, and 
we expect strong synergy effects in sharing the specific yet often related 
views on uncertainty.

[UAI] ACAI2021 – First announcement and call for tutorial proposals. 11-15 October 2021

[Dignum, Virginia]

[Please distribute to your PhD students and colleagues]

The *EurAI*’s (www.eurai.org ) *18th Advanced 
Course on AI (ACAI)* will take place in Berlin from *11-15 October 2021*




_The theme of ACAI-2021 is _*“Human-centred AI” *

_Venue_: Berlin, Germany (with online broadcasting)


website: https://www.humane-ai.eu/event/acai2021/ 



twitter: https://twitter.com/acai2021


ACAI provides a wide range of state-of-the-art courses given by some of 
the most prominent researchers in the area.


The notion of “Human Centric AI” is dominating the public AI debate in 
Europe and elsewhere.  It postulates a vision of AI beneficial to humans 
on both individual and social level that is characterized by a focus on 
supporting and empowering humans as well as incorporating “by design” 
adherence to appropriate ethical standards and values such as privacy 
protection, autonomy (human in control), and non-discrimination. Stated 
this way (which is how it mostly appears in the political debate) it may 
seem more like a broad, vague wish list than a tangible 
scientific/technological concept. Yet, at a second glance, it turns out 
that it is closely connected to some of the most fundamental challenges 
of AI which are the core of ACAI2021 program


The program is packed with diverse activities, including tutorials (at 
basic and advanced level), keynotes, panels, student presentations, and 
more.


Confirmed keynote speakers include Yoshua Bengio (Turing Prize Winner) 
and Ben Schneidermann and the winner of EURAI’s dissertation award 2021.



*Call for tutorials:* ACAI 2021 invites proposals for tutorials. 
Deadline for proposals is 15 June 2021. For more information and 
submission, please see https://form.jotform.com/211240960017343 




ACAI-2021is co-organized by:

 * The European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI) -
