Abstracts
The Quest for Probabilistic Description Logics: A Personal Perspective
Invited talk by Carsten Lutz, Uni Bremen
A wide range of probabilistic description logics (pDLs) has been proposed in the literature. The proposals have rather different strengths and weaknesses and can be very hard to compare with each other. We thus advocate that the design of pDLs should be guided by concrete application scenarios. In this talk, I review three such scenarios: the representation of uncertain aspects of domain concepts in ontologies, querying uncertain data with ontologies, and deriving subjective probabilities from statistical ones. While (partial) solutions are available for the first two scenarios, there are more questions than answers in the last case.
Plan Failure Analysis: Formalization and Application in Interactive Planning Through Natural Language Communication
Invited talk by Son Cao Tran, New Mexico State University
We discuss a challenge in developing intelligent agents (robots) that can collaborate with human in problem solving. Specifically, we consider situations in which a robot must use natural language in communicating with human and responding to the human's communication appropriately. In the process, we identify three main tasks. The first task requires the development of planners capable of dealing with descriptive goals. The second task, called plan failure analysis, demands the ability to analyze and determine the reason(s) why the planning system does not success. The third task focuses on the ability to understand communications via natural language. We discuss potential solutions to both problems and present prototypical architecture for the integration of planning failure analysis and natural language communication into an intelligent agent architecture.
From Social Choice to Computational Social Choice
Tutorial by Jérôme Lang, Lamsade, Université Paris-Dauphine
Social choice is the subfield of economic theory which is concerned with designing and analysing methods for collective decision making such as voting, fair division of resources, or group formation. Computational social choice is an interdisciplinary field of study at the interface of social choice theory and computer science, promoting an exchange of ideas in both directions. On the one hand, it is concerned with the application of techniques developed in computer science, such as complexity analysis, algorithm design, or communication protocols, to the study of social choice mechanisms, such as voting procedures or fair division algorithms. On the other hand, computational social choice is concerned with importing concepts from social choice theory into computing. In this tutorial I will give a brief survey of some important notions and results in classical social choice (with a focus on voting) and then I will consider a few topics in computational social choice, such as computing voting rules, voting on combinatorial domains, voting and fair division with incomplete preferences, and computational bareers to strategic behaviour.
