Call for Papers

The International Symposium on Imprecise Probabilities: Theories and Applications is the premier international event dedicated to the exploration of imprecise probabilities, providing a platform for both theoretical advancements and practical applications. The 14th edition of this biennial conference series will be held at the Bielefeld University Center for Interdisciplinary Research from Tuesday, July 15th, 2025, to Friday, July 18th, 2025.

We invite contributions on all aspects of imprecise probabilities, a term encompassing a wide range of mathematical and statistical models that quantify uncertainty without the restriction of precise probabilities. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, sets of probability measures, partial preference orderings, game-theoretic probability, choice functions, interval probabilities, risk measures, nonlinear expectations, belief functions, and possibility theory.

All accepted contributions will be presented and discussed in two separate sessions. Presentations are short and plenary. Detailed explanations and discussions are face-to-face relying on whichever medium you prefer – but having a poster is encouraged – so as to favour interaction among participants (you can visit the SIPTA website for links to the previous editions of all ISIPTA conferences).

We accept two types of submissions: full papers and one-page abstracts. The submission deadline is February 2nd, 2025 for full papers and April 27th, 2025 for one-page abstracts; additional important dates like notification of paper acceptance will be communicated in due course. Submissions are made through the EasyChair platform following the formatting guidelines for submissions.

All contributions will be made available on the conference website. Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research, although authors have the option to opt out of publication in PLMR.

Registration is free for non-tenured scholars with accepted submission and € 200 for tenured faculty with accepted submission. The fee for scholars without accepted submission and industry participants is € 600. The registration fee includes lunch, coffee breaks, social dinner, and participation in the social event. Registration closes on June 1st, 2025, but we encourage participants to register only after a final decision on their submission has been made.
