Apologies for cross posting
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This call includes: 1. a call for participation for a probabilistic
Inference evaluation which will take place early this summer and
2. a call for benchmarks for the same evaluation.
(For more information: http://graphmod.ics.uci.edu/uai08/Evaluation.)
The evaluation is part of the UAI workshop on on Evaluating and
Disseminating Probabilistic Reasoning Systems
(9 July 2008, Helsinki, in conjunction with the ICML/UAI/COLT Web
page: http://graphmod.ics.uci.edu/uai08/* )
***CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE EVALUATION OF PROBABILISTIC REASONING
SYSTEMS***
We encourage participation in the probabilistic inference evaluation which will
include both Bayesian
and Markov networks and consider three inference tasks: probability of evidence
(partition function),
most probable explanations (also called MPE or energy minimization), and node
marginals.
The evaluation will consider both exact and approximate algorithms, especially
any-time algorithms
that improve their approximations with time. Details of the evaluation can be
found at:
http://graphmod.ics.uci.edu/uai08/Evaluation
***CALL FOR BENCHMARKS***
We invite the submission of benchmarks in the form of either Bayesian or Markov
networks. The
preferred file format is described at:
http://graphmod.ics.uci.edu/uai08/FileFormat
Other formats may potentially be acceptable, yet the evaluation will assume the
format above.
**DATES:**
Submissions should be emailed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by the following deadlines:
* *Evaluation*. Interests in participation should be declared by May 9.
Submission deadline of software systems is May 30.
* *Benchmarks*. Submission deadline is May 9.
