WORKSHOP - Heuristics, Probabilities and Causality

该研讨会计划纪念朱迪亚·珀尔的一生和科学成就。研讨会汇集了朱迪亚·珀尔在启发式、概率推理和因果关系这三个领域做出里程碑式贡献的杰出学者。它以一本编辑过的书为中心；向朱迪亚·珀尔致敬，其中包括三个领域的30篇文章。这本书是由Pearl过去的学生和同事共同编辑的：Rina Dechter， Hector Geffner和Joe Halpern，他们也组织了研讨会。在研讨会期间，约有20位学者将展示他们的作品，他们的作品将出现在本书中。工作坊对公众开放。除了来自世界各地的约30名参观者外，加州大学洛杉矶分校和加州的师生以及社区成员也将参加此次活动。这一事件恰逢朱迪亚在1985年首次提出“贝叶斯网络”的论文发表25周年。在这种背景下，一个独特的书展将展出，展出罕见的第一版的几个里程碑的历史上的因果和概率推理，从惠更斯（1657）和伯努利（1713）贝叶斯（1763）和拉普拉斯（1812），从休谟（1739）和密尔（1843）布尔（1847），高尔顿（1895）和图灵（1953）。研讨会促进传播过去几十年来在这三个领域发展起来的思想，邀请主要学者和编辑的书籍，其中包括最先进的文章以及三个领域的历史观点。研讨会的演讲和书籍将吸引更多的研究人员进入这三个领域。

The workshop is planed to honor the life and the scientific achievements of Judea Pearl.The workshop brings together prominent scholars from the three areas in which Judea Pearl had landmark contributions, Heuristics, Probabilistic Reasoning and Causality. It is centered around an edited book; a tribute to Judea Pearl that includes 30 articles in the three areas. The book is co-edited by Pearl's past students and colleagues: Rina Dechter, Hector Geffner and Joe Halpern who also organize the workshop. During the workshop day about about 20 scholars, whose work appear in the book, will present their work. The workshop is open to the public. In addition to about 30 visitors from around the world, it will be attended by faculty and students at UCLA, and in California, and by community members.This event coincides with the 25th anniversary of the first paper by Judea in which he introduced "Bayesian networks" in 1985. In this context, a unique book exhibit will be on display, featuring rare first-editions of several milestones in the history of causal and probabilistic reasoning, from Huygens (1657) and Bernoulli (1713) to Bayes (1763) and Laplace (1812), from Hume (1739) and Mill (1843) to Boole (1847), Galton (1895) and Turing (1953).The workshop facilitates disseminating the ideas developed in the past few decades in the three fields, featuring leading scholars and the edited book that include state of the art articles as well as historical perspectives of the three fields. The workshop presentations and book will draw additional researchers into the three fields.
