DIMACS/LAMSADE PARTNERSHIP on Computer Science and Decision Theory: Applications of Notions of Consensus
LAMSADE Website
LAMSADE Working Group Website
The workshop
focuses on modern computer science applications of methods developed
by decision theorists, in particular methods involving consensus and
associated order relations. The broad outlines concern connections
between computer science and decision theory, development of new decision-theory-based
methodologies relevant to the scope of modern CS problems, and investigation
of their applications to problems of computer science and also to
problems of the social sciences which could benefit from new ideas
and techniques. For more details see the DIMACS/LAMSADE partnership.
Here is a list of main themes that will be covered:
- preference modelling
- social choice
- knowledge extraction
- fusion of information
- issues involving AI
- large databases and Inference
- computational intractablity of consensus functions
- axiomatics: approaches and algorithms for consensus functions
- order relations and revealed preferences
Next: Call for Participation
