1st Workshop on Conformal Prediction and its Applications (CΟPA 2012)
to be held in conjunction with the
8th IFIP Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications &
Innovations (AIAI 2012)
Halkidiki, Greece, September 27-30, 2012

Workshop 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 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.
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 Springer style. Papers
should be submitted either in a doc or in a pdf form to:
