WORKSHOP - Heuristics, Probabilities and Causality

研讨会旨在荣誉朱迪亚·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三个领域做出里程碑式贡献的杰出学者。 它是围绕着一个编辑的书;一个赞扬朱迪亚珍珠 包括三个方面的三十条。这本书是由珍珠的过去的学生和同事共同编辑：里娜Dechter，赫克托Geffner和乔Halpern谁也组织研讨会。在研讨会期间，约有20名学者，他们的工作出现在书中，将介绍他们的工作。该研讨会向公众开放。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教职员工和学生以及社区成员也将参加。这一活动恰逢Judea在1985年介绍“贝叶斯网络”的第一篇论文发表25周年。在这方面，将展出一个独特的图书展览，展出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年）和伯努利（1713年）到贝叶斯（1763年）和拉普拉斯（1812年），从休谟（1739年）和米尔（1843年）到布尔（1847年），高尔顿（1895）和图灵（1953）。该研讨会有助于传播在过去几十年中在这三个领域发展起来的思想，其中包括主要学者和编辑的书籍，其中包括最新的文章以及这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.
