SIPTA: The Society for Imprecise Probabilities - Theories and Applications Summer School
Next summer, the 11th SIPTA School will be hosted at Ghent University, Belgium, from Monday the 12th of August 2024 till Friday the 16th of August 2024. For those people not familiar with SIPTA, it’s the `Society for Imprecise Probabilities: Theories and Applications’ (https://sipta.org/). Members of this society are typically convinced that there is more to uncertainty than sharp or exact probabilities, and develop and apply more general and robust uncertainty models, which are collected under the umbrella term `Imprecise Probabilities’.
Leertraject
georganiseerd door:
Our summer school has the aim of introducing doctoral students – and other interested researchers – to the basics of imprecise probabilities, from its foundations in (applied) mathematics and logic to its applications in quantum physics, economy and AI. Emphasis will be put on why and how imprecision is adopted in, relevant to, or even necessary in each of these fields.
On the last day, we’ll provide the participants with a number of
research projects on the subjects of the lectures, which they will work
on in smaller groups supervised by the lecturers. This will allow the
participants to work together with and learn from fellow students and
researchers, who presumably have expertise in different research fields.
