[UAI] Deadline extension: URSW 2014 at ISWC 2014
Deadline extension - new date: * 16th July: paper submissions due * CALL FOR PAPERS 10th International Workshop on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web http://c4i.gmu.edu/ursw/2014 In conjunction with the 13th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2014) Riva del Garda, Italy October 19-20, 2014 -- You are invited to participate in the upcoming workshop on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web (URSW), to be held as part of the 13th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) in October 2014 at Fierecongressi SpA, Riva del Garda, Italy. ISWC is a major international forum for presenting visionary research on all aspects of the Semantic Web. The Uncertainty Reasoning workshop is an exciting opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization between the uncertainty reasoning community and the Semantic Web / Linked Data community. Effective methods for reasoning under uncertainty are vital for realizing many aspects of the Semantic Web vision, but the ability of current-generation web technology to handle uncertainty remains extremely limited. Thus, there is a continuing demand for uncertainty reasoning technology among Semantic Web researchers and developers, and the URSW workshop creates a unique opening to bring together two communities with a clear commonality of interest but limited history of interaction. By capitalizing on this opportunity, URSW could spark dramatic progress toward realizing the Semantic Web vision. IMPORTANT DATES **July 16** (extended): Paper submissions due July 30: Paper acceptance notification August 20: Camera-ready papers due October 19-20: 10th Workshop on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web SUBMISSION DETAILS http://c4i.gmu.edu/ursw/2014/submission/index.html PRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION URSW 2014 will be a half-day workshop. All papers accepted to the URSW will be presented during the workshop and published in the workshop proceedings. Authors of accepted technical papers will have 20 minutes to present their work, while authors of accepted position papers will have a 10-minute slot to share their ideas. After each presentation, 5 minutes will be allocated to questions from the audience. Both technical and position papers will be published in the URSW workshop proceedings, to be available after the ISWC 2014 conference. In addition, extended and revised versions of selected technical papers accepted for presentation at the URSW 2014 will be eligible for participating in a Journal of Data Semantics special issue with the best ISWC 2014 workshop papers or in a joint post-proceedings book (Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web IV) with papers from the next editions of the URSW workshop. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE http://c4i.gmu.edu/ursw/2014/organization/index.html PROGRAM COMMITTEE http://c4i.gmu.edu/ursw/2014/program/index.html We are looking forward to seeing you in Riva del Garda! ___ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai

[UAI] PhD position / scholarship in Machine Learning / Linked Data / Semantic Web
Applications are invited for a PhD position (with possible scholarship) based at the College of Engineering Informatics at National University of Ireland, Galway. The successful candidate will perform research in the area of Artificial Intelligence under the supervision of Dr. Matthias Nickles and will have the opportunity to collaborate with the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), Galway. Candidates should have a very good degree in Computer Science or in a closely related subject. They should have excellent analytical skills and should be able to work independently as well as in cooperation with others. The successful applicant needs to have very good English skills. Prior research experience in some area of Artificial Intelligence such as machine learning, logic, Data Science/Big Data, probabilistic modeling, or Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies, is a significant plus. Applicants are expected to possess very good programming skills in at least one of the following languages: Scala, Java, C/C++, Haskell, Clojure, Prolog, or Answer Set Programming/AnsProlog. Suitable candidates will be considered for a scholarship. The scholarship is expected to start in September 2013 and is tenable for up to a maximum of four years, dependent on satisfactory progress and availability of funding. The value of the scholarship is up to 12,000 euro per year (tax-free) plus course fees. The PhD research work will be positioned in the areas of Statistical Relational Learning (SRL) and/or uncertainty reasoning for the Web, the Semantic Web, and Linked Data. SRL is an emerging subfield of Machine Learning and Data Mining for learning in relationally-, graph- or network-like structured domains, such as the (Semantic) Web, Linked Data and Social Networks. SRL builds upon classical Machine Learning and probability theory as well as on first-order logic and formal knowledge representation, bridging the gap between two of the most important spheres of Artificial Intelligence. SRL frameworks such as Markov Logic Networks have already proven to be highly successful in real-world applications. A direction of SRL which is particularly interesting in regard to the prospective PhD research is Relational Reinforcement Learning (RRL), which combines Reinforcement Learning with structurally rich relational or graph-like representation formats. Possible topics for PhD work are the investigation and development of novel methods, techniques and tools for the SRL of interaction processes on the Web/the Semantic Web, SRL for predictions using large-scale dynamic data on the Web/Semantic Web, and SRL backed-up by Constraint Solving or Answer Set Programming. Further topics can be found at http://www.it.nuigalway.ie/researchtopics.html#_Toc201304261 Variants of these might also be possible. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Matthias Nickles matthias.nick...@nuigalway.ie as soon as possible for a discussion of suitable project topics and for further details. Application is a two-stage process. Initial applications consisting of a CV, transcript(s), a motivation letter and a list of papers published (if any) should be sent to Dr. Matthias Nickles no later than 15th May 2013. ___ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai

[UAI] CfP: URSW'10
Workshop must not exceed 12 pages, including figures. Submissions exceeding this limit will not be reviewed. Position papers consist of a summary of ideas, projects, or any research efforts that are relevant to the URSW Workshop must not exceed 4 pages. Following the general acceptance rules of the ISWC 2010 conference, papers that, at the time of submission, are under review for or have already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference will not be accepted to the URSW workshop. PRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION URSW 2010 will be a full-day workshop divided into three sessions. Two of those sessions will be devoted to paper presentations, while the remaining session will be planned in a format that invites an open debate on the results, conclusions, recommendations, and follow-up work of the URSW-XG group. We also plan to convey a work meeting after the workshop, in case the last session need to be extended. All papers accepted to the URSW will be presented during the workshop and published in the workshop proceedings, which will be available as a separate publication after the Conference. Authors of accepted technical papers will have 20 minutes to present their work, while authors of accepted position papers will have a 10-minute slot to share their ideas. Both technical and position papers will be published in the URSW Workshop proceedings, to be available after the ISWC 2010 Conference. In addition, technical papers accepted for presentation at the URSW 2010 will be eligible for participating in the selection to the planned Springer LNCS volume on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web Vol. II. This will be the second volume of this series and will include selected papers from URSW 2008 to URSW 2010.

Re: [UAI] belief network ontology
I'm working on a project in which my system is to receive causal networks that are created by other systems. Does anyone know of an OWL description for causal networks?
