While the Dagstuhl Seminar on Preference Learning is ongoing, it is time to give an outlook on forthcoming events that are of interest for preference handling and to present an interesting initiative for research collaboration.
The Eighth Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling M-PREF 2014 will be held in July 27-28, 2014 in Quebec City, Canada … Read more
If people have the right tools in their hands, they may use them for creating unimagined results. Crowdsourcing is an excellent example. The web just provides a service and it is the combined effort of millions of users which creates the rich contents.
Other, perhaps more important, kind of tools are tools of thought. Read more
Last year has been packed with interesting scientific events related to preference handling, including workshops and tutorials at ECAI, sessions on preference learning at EURO, and a dedicated workshop on the relationship between preference modeling and preference learning.
Although it is still quite early in 2013, new events are already at the horizon. Read more
Whereas the decision sciences have elaborated and explored preference models for explaining, predicting, and guiding decision making behaviour since more than hundred years, newer research started in the fields of artificial intelligence and other human-centered computational fields is investigating how to represent rich preference information compactly.

Ten years later and the results are impressive. The workshops on advances in preference handling became a hub of knowledge. Researchers from artificial intelligence, data-base systems, operations research exchanged methods for preference modeling, preference representation, preference aggregation, preference elicitation and used them for problems as diverse as … Read more
