IEA/AIE 2017 - Special Track on Graphical Models: from Theory to Applications

30th International Conference on Industrial, Engineering, Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems IEA/AIE 2017 - June 27th-June 30th, Arras, France

Special Track Organizers: Christophe Gonzales & Philippe Leray

Introduction/Call for Contributed Papers

In many real-world applications, especially in Artificial Intelligence, agents need to make decisions or to optimize functions under uncertain information. Successes in such applications stimulated the need to handle problems of ever increasing size and, by their decomposition ability, Graphical Models naturally imposed themselves as one of the most popular modeling and reasoning tool. The objective of this special track on “Graphical Models: from Theory to Applications” is to bring together researchers working on these models or exploiting them in their applications in order to share their experience and discuss the latest developments in this field. Graphical Models of interest for this special track include but are not limited to Bayesian networks, Markov random fields, credal networks, influence diagrams, factored Markov decision processes, sum-product networks, factor graphs. Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers to this Special Track.


Within the scope of this session, areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Principles of graphical models of uncertainty

Principles of graphical models for decision making

Exact and approximate inference

Temporal reasoning with graphical models

Decision-theoretic planning and Markov decision processes

Learning graphical models

Elicitation of preferences represented with graphical models

Practical applications of graphical models

Software on graphical models
