COPA2024: 13th Symposium on Conformal and Probabilistic Prediction with Applications Politecnico di Milano Milan, Italy, September 9-11, 2024

Call for Posters is now open!

The 13th Symposium on Conformal and Probabilistic Prediction with Applications (COPA 2024, https://copa-conference.com/) will be held from September 9th to 11th, 2024, at the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy.

Conformal prediction (CP) is a modern machine and statistical learning method that allows the development of valid predictions under weak probabilistic assumptions. CP can be used to form set predictions, using any underlying point predictor, and for very general target variables, allowing the error levels to be controlled by the user. Therefore, CP has been widely used to develop robust forms of probabilistic prediction methodologies and applied to many practical real-life challenges.

Building on the work on CP, various extensions have been developed. This symposium aims to serve as a forum for the presentation of new and ongoing work and the exchange of ideas between researchers on any aspect of conformal and probabilistic prediction and their applications to applicative problems in any field.

Submission Guidelines for Posters

The Call for Papers closed on the 15^th of April 2024, we are now opening a Call for Posters that will be closed on the 17^th of May 2024, 24:00 UTC!

Authors are invited to submit original, English-language research abstracts. The contributions should not be longer than 300 words.

Submitted abstracts will be refereed for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance. Notification and reviews will be communicated via email. All accepted contributions will be presented during the Poster Session at the Symposium.

Please note that the submission of an abstract should be regarded as a commitment that, in case the poster is accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the symposium to attend the poster session.
