Online. http://abnms.org/uai2021-apps-workshop/ Submission deadline: Abstract 25th May, Submissions (Extended Abstract or Paper) 28th May.
Continuing in a successful tradition, the 15th Bayesian Modeling Applications Workshop provides a forum for exchange among researchers, applications practitioners and tool developers. Submissions (papers or extended abstracts) are solicited of real-world applications of Bayesian models and computational methods. The aim of the workshop is to foster discussion on the challenges of building applications, such as: integrating Bayesian models and tools into larger hybrid applications; validating models; interacting with, and explaining outputs and decisions to, users, decision makers and stakeholders; constructing and updating models through combined knowledge elicitation and learning; and deploying and managing cloud and app-based Bayesian applications. In particular, the workshop solicits abstracts/papers describing Bayesian applications that involve topics such as (but not limited to):
-
Learning and inference with graphical models;
Causal discovery and causal reasoning;
Geospatial and temporal reasoning;
Risk analysis and decision making under uncertainty;
Bayesian Deep Learning and Deep Bayesian Learning;
Tractable probabilistic models;
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI);
Data processing, transformation, fusion, visualization, of many different types of data, and of Big Data; and
Combining machine learning and elicitation of expert knowledge.
-
Extended Abstracts: in UAI format, 1-2 pages (including reference list), using the online submission process.
or
Full paper submissions (for peer review and inclusion in proceedings) should be in UAI format, limited to 8 pages, using the online submission process. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two independent referees. Abstracts and Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the EasyChair online submission page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bmaw2021.
