We invite all researchers in AI and neighboring disciplines interested in the interplay between Machine Learning and Uncertainty to submit their work to WSCL workshop, which will be held during 19-20 October 2024, as a satellite event to the 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2024).
We welcome submissions on topics related to both weakly supervised learning and uncertainty quantification. More generally, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Weakly supervised learning (including, learning from noisy data, multi-instance learning, learning from imprecise data, partial label/superset learning, positive-unlabeled learning, ...);
Uncertainty quantification (including, probabilistic and Bayesian machine learning, conformal prediction, three-way decision, set-valued approaches, possibilistic and evidential machine learning, calibration, soft clustering, ...);
Uncertainty management and non-standard theories of uncertainty (including, foundations of probability theory, rough sets, fuzzy sets and possibility theory, evidence theory and belief functions, imprecise probabilities and credal sets, ...);
Conformal prediction and related methods (including, Venn prediction, online learning, compression models, algorithmic information theory);
Human-AI interaction and uncertainty communication;
Active learning, adversarial and robust learning, anomaly detection, out-of-domain learning/open set recognition;
Crowd-sourcing and data perspectivism
We will welcome three types of submissions:
full original papers (up to 7 pages);
extended abstracts (up to 4 pages);
already published work.
Each accepted submission, irrespective of the type, will be assigned an oral presentation slot. Also, articles rejected at the main track of the ECAI 2024 conference, but relevant to the topics of interest of the workshop, can be transferred at the WSCL workshop based on the ECAI reviews (see Review Transfer below).
Contributions should be submitted through the chairingtool platform, available at the following link:
https://chairingtool.com/conferences/WSCL24/MainTrack/
Original submissions (both full papers and extended abstracts) should be formatted according to the ECAI formatting instructions, using the ECAI 2024 template and formatting requirements specified by ECAI.
The purpose of workshop presentations is to get early feedback on new ideas and to stimulate discussions between researchers interested in weakly supervised and cautious learning. As such, there will be no formal proceedings, but we may post accepted papers on the workshop website for the benefit of the workshop participants if the authors agree to this (and the paper has not already been published). Also, depending on the number of accepted contributions we may decide on organizing a special issue on a relevant scientific journal.
As specified in the Submission Instructions, the WSCL takes part in the ECAI 2024 Review Transfer Option, that allows papers rejected at the ECAI 2024 main track to be considered for workshop presentation based solely on the main-track reviews.
If you wish to take part in this option, aside from submitting your contribution as detailed in the Submission Instructions, you should fill-in the following form by July 11th:
Submission deadline: 30th June 2024 12th July 2024 (*EXTENDED*)
Submission deadline for Review Transfer: 12th July 2024
Accept/Reject communications: 25th July 2024
Early registration deadline: 19th August 2024
Workshop date: 19-20th October 2024
