[Call for Papers] EurIPS 2025 1st Workshop on Epistemic Intelligence in Machine Learning (EIML@EurIPS2025)

[Chau Siu Lun]

Dear all,

 

Still deciding between NeurIPS and EurIPS? Maybe this will help!

 

We are delighted to announce that the 1st Workshop on Epistemic Intelligence in Machine Learning (EIML) will take place in conjunction with EurIPS 2025, this December in Copenhagen, Denmark. The workshop will bring together researchers to discuss the foundations and applications of epistemic uncertainty in machine learning.

 

We will soon be accepting non-archival submissions (4–6 pages, excluding references and appendices). The deadline for submission is 17th October 2025.

 

Please find below the detailed Call for Papers. For further information, please check out our workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/eiml-eurips2025/.

 

We warmly invite you to consider submitting your work, and we would be grateful if you could also help us disseminate the call within your networks.

AIMS AND SCOPE:

This workshop seeks contributions from researchers across machine learning, statistics, philosophy of science, decision theory, and related disciplines to explore theoretical foundations, algorithmic innovations, and practical applications that center around epistemic uncertainty (EU). We welcome works-in-progress and mature research that address the central challenge of reasoning and decision-making under epistemic uncertainty. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

Representation and Measurement of Epistemic Uncertainty

• Mathematical Frameworks for EU: Bayesian methods, imprecise probabilities, fuzzy logic, belief functions, possibility theory, etc.
• Comparisons and formal properties of uncertainty representations
• Evaluation criteria and benchmarking strategies for UQ methods.
• Epistemic v.s. Aleatoric uncertainty: delineation and interaction.

 

Prediction Under Epistemic Uncertainty

• Predictive models that capture and express EU: Bayesian models, evidential deep learning, credal models
• Generalisation under distribution shifts, domain adaptation, and robustness analysis
• OOD detection and safe prediction under model misspecification
• Learning under partial or vague supervision

 

Decision-Making and Learning Under Epistemic Uncertainty

• Risk-sensitive and ambiguity-aware decision-making frameworks

• Uncertainty quantification in generative models
• Active learning, Bayesian experimental design, and uncertainty-aware optimisation
• EU in reinforcement learning, continual learning, and online learning setting
• Integration of principled uncertainty models into large-scale architectures (e.g., transformers, diffusion models)
• Scalable algorithms for traditionally intractable uncertainty models

 

We encourage both theoretical contributions and applied case studies. Submissions that challenge prevailing assumptions, propose novel benchmarks, or provide insights into the philosophical and foundational dimensions of uncertainty in AI are especially welcome.

 

Best regards,

Siu Lun Chau
