FYI: interval-related papers on uncertainty in AI are always welcome for this series of conferences

An Interval session

has been approve for

the 21st International Conference on Information Processing and

Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems IPMU 2026,

Rome, Italy, June 15-19, 2026

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS JANUARY 12, 2026.

Interval uncertainty is closely related to fuzzy techniques:

indeed, if we want to know how the fuzzy uncertainty of the inputs

propagates through the data processing algorithm, then the usual

Zadeh's extension principle is equivalent to processing alpha-cuts

(intervals) for each level alpha.

This relation between intervals and fuzzy computations is well

known, but often, fuzzy researchers are unaware of the latest most

efficient interval techniques and thus use outdated less efficient

methods. One of the objectives of the proposed session is to help

fuzzy community by explaining the latest interval techniques and to

help interval community to better understand the related interval

computation problems.

Yet another relation between interval and fuzzy techniques is that

the traditional fuzzy techniques implicitly assume that experts can

describe their degree of certainty in different statements by an

exact number. In reality, it is more reasonable to expect experts

to provide only a rage (interval) of possible values – leading to

interval-valued fuzzy techniques that, in effect, combine both

types of uncertainty.
