The Seventh European Workshop on Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM 2014)

September 17-19, 2014

Utrecht, The Netherlands

http://www.projects.science.uu.nl/PGM

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people interested in probabilistic graphical models and to provide a forum for discussion of the latest research developments in this field. To promote interactions among the participants, parallel sessions will be avoided and the workshop will be organised around a single thread of plenary and poster sessions. We welcome theoretical and applied contributions related to various aspects of probabilistic graphical models, such as:

- Principles of Bayesian (belief) networks, chain graphs, decision networks, influence diagrams, probabilistic relational models, and other probabilistic graphical models (PGMs).

- Information processing in PGMs (exact and approximate inference). 

- Learning and data mining in the context of PGMs: machine learning approaches, statistical testing and search methods, MCMC simulation. 

- Exploitation for the construction of PGMs of results from related disciplines such as statistics, information theory, optimization, and decision making under uncertainty. 

- Software systems based on PGMs.

- Application of PGMs to real-world problems.
