*************************DA2PL Workshop*************************

*********From Multiple Criteria Decision Aid to Preference Learning**********

***************************************************************

**************************Call for papers**************************

***************************************************************

DA2PL is organized jointly by Faculté Polytechnique UMONS, Belgium, and Ecole Centrale Paris, France

 

Date: November 15-16, 2012

 

Venue: University of Mons, Faculté Polytechnique, Mons, Belgium

 

Aim:  Bring together researchers involved in Preference Modeling and Preference Learning and

identify research challenges at the crossroad of both research fields

The need for search engines able to select and rank order the pages most relevant to a user’s query

has emphasized the issue of learning the user’s preferences and interests in an adequate way.

That is to say, on the basis of little information on the person who queries the Web, and,

in almost no time. Recommender systems also rely on efficient preference learning.  

On the other hand, preference modeling has been an auxiliary discipline related to

Multicriteria decision aiding for a long time.

Methods for eliciting preference models, including learning by examples, are a crucial issue in this field. 

It is quite natural to think, and it is actually observed in practice, that preference modeling and

learning are two fields that have things to say to one another. It is the main goal of

the present workshop to bring together researchers involved in those disciplines, in order to

identify research issues in which cross-fertilization is already at work or can be expected.

Communications related to successful usage of explicit preference models in preference learning

are especially welcome as well as communications devoted to innovative preference learning methods in MCDA.    

The programme of the workshop will consist of three or four invited lectures

(Craig Boutillier - to be confirmed - , Yann Chevaleyre,  Krzysztof Dembczynski, Eyke Hullermeyer)

and about 15 selected research communications.  A round table will try to identify the

most promising research avenues at the crossroad of preference learning and preference modeling. 

This workshop is organized in the framework of the GDRI (Groupement de Recherche International)

“Algorithmic Decision Theory”, which is recognized and supported by CNRS (France),

FNRS (Belgium), FNR (Luxembourg).

Call for papers: 

****************

 

The researchers wanting to present a communication are invited to submit

a 4 to 8 pages (2 columns) paper that will be reviewed by two referees.

They should notify their intention to propose a communication by July 15.

After the workshop, the authors of the selected paper will be invited to submit

an extended version of their work (up to 16 pages) for a special issue

of the EURO Journal of Decision Processes.
