M-PREF 2025: CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
======================================================================
16th Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling
October 25, 2025, Bologna, Italy
in conjunction with ECAI 2025
======================================================================
Early ECAI Registration Deadline: September 3, 2025
======================================================================
We invite interested researchers to participate in the 16th
Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling (M-PREF
2025), which is part of the workshop program of ECAI 2025.
Participants need to register for the weekend program of ECAI
(Tutorials, Workshops and Doctoral consortium). The workshop will be
held on October 25, 2025 at the Engineering School of University of
Bologna, Viale del Risorgimento, 2, Bologna (Italy).
TOPICS
The workshop on Advances in Preference Handling addresses all
computational aspects of preference handling. This includes methods
for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation,
and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The
workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from
decision making, database querying, web search, personalized human-
computer interaction, personalized recommender systems, e-commerce,
multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice, combinatorial
optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem solving,
perception and natural language understanding and other computational
tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve the overall
understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in order to
realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which they are
used. Another important goal is to provide cross-fertilization between
the numerous sub-fields that work with preferences.
- Preference handling in artificial intelligence
- Preference handling in database systems
- Preference handling in multi-agent systems
- Applications of preferences
- Preference elicitation and learning
- Preference representation and modeling
- Properties and semantics of preferences
- Practical preferences
