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.

研讨会旨在纪念朱迪亚珍珠的一生和科学成就。研讨会汇集了朱迪亚珍珠具有里程碑意义的三个领域的杰出学者：启发式、概率推理和因果关系。它的中心是一本编辑过的书；一本向朱迪亚·珀尔致敬的书，其中包括这三个领域的30篇文章。这本书是由珀尔过去的学生和同事共同编辑的：丽娜·德克特、赫克托·格夫纳和乔·哈尔彭，他们也是研讨会的组织者。在研讨会当天，大约20名学者将展示他们的作品，他们的作品出现在书中。研讨会对公众开放。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大学的教职员工和学生以及社区成员将参加这次活动。这次活动恰逢他于1985年在朱迪亚发表第一篇论文25周年之际，他在论文中介绍了贝叶斯网络。在这方面，将展出一个独特的书展，展示因果和概率推理历史上几个里程碑的罕见第一版，从惠更斯(1657)和伯努利(1713)到贝叶斯(1763)和拉普拉斯(1812)，从休谟(1739)和密尔(1843)到布尔(1847)，高尔顿(1895)和图灵(1953)。研讨会促进传播过去几十年在这三个领域发展起来的思想，有著名的学者和编辑的书籍，其中包括三个领域的最新文章和历史观点。研讨会、演讲和书籍将吸引更多的研究人员进入这三个领域。
