Dear Colleagues,
we are organizing a special session entitled "Advances on Explainable Artificial Intelligence" to be held within next IPMU 2018 conference, 11-15 June 2018, Cadiz (Spain).
All details about the session are at:

http://ipmu2018.uca.es/submission/cfspecial-sessions/special-sessions/#explainable

The goal of this special session is to discuss and disseminate the most recent advancements focused on explainable artificial intelligence. The session goes a step ahead with respect to the previous events we organized (which were mainly focused on interpretable fuzzy systems) in some other conferences: joint IFSA-EUSFLAT 2009, ISDA 2009, WCCI 2010, WILF 2011, ESTYLF 2012, WCCI 2012, EUSFLAT 2013, IFSA-EUSFLAT2015, and FUZZ-IEEE2017.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
+ Explainable Computational Intelligence
+ Theoretical Aspects of Interpretability
+ Dimensions of Interpretability: Readability versus Understandability
+ Learning Methods for Interpretable Systems and Models
+ Interpretability Evaluation and Improvements
+ Relations between Interpretability and other Criteria (such as Accuracy, Stability, Relevance, etc.)
+ Design Issues
+ Successful Applications of Interpretable AI Systems
+ Interpretable Fuzzy Systems
+ Interpretable Machine Learning
+ Models for Explainable Recommendations
+ Explainable Agents
+ Self-explanatory Decision-Support Systems
+ Argumentation Theory for Explainable AI
+ Natural Language Generation for Explainable AI

If you are interested in submitting a paper for this session, please do not hesitate to contact one of the organizers: a tentative title of the paper to be submitted along with a list of authors and an e-mail address for further contact would be highly appreciated.

Submissions are made through the IPMU website (http://ipmu2018.uca.es/submission/). Remind to select "Advances on Explainable Artificial Intelligence" as "Main research topic". Notice that proceedings of IPMU 2018 will be published in Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) with Springer. CCIS is abstracted/indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, Scopus. Moreover, CCIS volumes will also be submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings (Web-of-Science).

Call for papers for Special Issue on Similarity, Correlation and Association Measures in honor of Lotfi A. Zadeh
in Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems

The extensive study of similarity, correlation and, generally, association measures is started at least from the beginning of 20th century. Initially, these measures have been used as measures of relationship between the sets of observations or measurements of variables, attributes or attitudes in numerous applications. Later, these measures have been studied on different domains such as the sets of images, time series, sequences, fuzzy sets etc. and used in advanced methods of data analysis, clustering, classification, machine learning, data mining, decision making, bioinformatics, time series analysis, signal and image processing. The study of similarity between fuzzy sets, fuzzy similarity relations, their transitivity and application in hierarchical clustering has been initiated or inspired by the works of Lotfi Zadeh.

This Special Issue invites the original papers with surveys of similarity, correlation, association, interestingness, agreement, dependence measures on different domains. The papers with new original measures and applications are also invited. The topics of Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following areas of research and possible application of similarity, correlation and association measures:
• Classification and clustering
• Data mining
• Feature extraction and data transformation
• Kernel methods in machine learning
• Fuzzy sets and systems
• Fuzzy similarity relations
• Time series analysis and financial time series
• Image and signal processing
• Computational linguistics and text processing
• Recommender systems
• Sentiment analysis and social network analysis
• Social and behavioral sciences, medicine, biology and ecology
• Bioinformatics
The papers on statistical inference will be not considered in this Special Issue.

Important dates:
Paper submission deadline: February 20, 2018
Notification of acceptance: April 20, 2018
Submission of revised papers: June 1, 2018
Final decision: July 1, 2018
For paper submission please use the journal paper submission WEB page:
https://www.iospress.nl/journal/journal-of-intelligent-fuzzy-systems/

Please put the words “SI: SCA Measures – “ at the start of the title of the paper to be assigned to this Special Issue.

Journal style templates are available at:

http://www.iospress.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/JIFS-Submission-Templates-MsWord.zip
An author can choose to use either the LaTeX (preferred) or the MS Word template.

Papers page limits: 12 pages for regular papers and up to 20 pages for surveys.

For the authors of this Special Issue the journal will waive publication fee.

Guest Editors:
