Dear all, Another conference deadline is behind us and we hope that all your NeurIPS submissions went well. Now that we have some time to rest, we wanted to bring to your attention a workshop on preference-based learning that we organize in SUNNY HAWAII at the end of July. The paper submission deadline is in less than 3 weeks and you can find more details below.

While humans often find it difficult to provide demonstrations of the desired system’s behavior or to quantify its responses using numerical values, providing preferences (or comparisons) is natural. Therefore, it is not surprising that learning from human preferences has been critical to major recent advances in AI and machine learning, such as fine-tuning of large language models, guided image generation, robotics, and self-driving cars. Despite these ground-breaking successes, the most exciting opportunities still lie ahead of us. The goal of this workshop is to bring together scientists from communities where preference-based learning has played a major role or has a potential for making a breakthrough. We want to celebrate recent advances, discuss main challenges and potential solutions, and pave the way for future research directions. Additionally, we aim to strengthen the connection between theory and practice by identifying real-world systems that can benefit from incorporating preference feedback. We cordially invite scientists who feel addressed by the theme of the workshop to submit their latest works. Since preference-based learning had impact on many communities, potential topics could be, but are not limited to, - Collaborative filtering - Control theory - Convex optimization - Dueling and preference-based bandits - Econometrics and assortment selection - Explainability - Fairness - Game theory, equilibria, and multiplayer games - Marketing and revenue management - Multi-objective optimization - Preference Elicitation - Ranking aggregation - Recommender systems - Reinforcement learning - Robotics - Search engine optimization - Social choice theory SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted papers should be in the ICML 2023 format (NOT ANONYMIZED) and up to 6 pages long, excluding references and appendix. Accepted papers will be presented as posters or contributed oral presentations. Submissions should be uploaded as a single pdf file at https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopenreview.net%2Fgroup%3Fid%3DICML.cc%2F2023%2FWorkshop%2FMFPL&data=05%7C01%7Cuai%40engr.orst.edu%7C2c81717d07574b145c7508db575c9c9d%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638199828259805565%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3ntNrm0wNGTLFCbMxKKtQ7l1QdftWHzUMSnfert8v4o%3D&reserved=0 CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS Eytan Bakshy (Meta) Chi Jin (Princeton) Thorsten Joachims (Cornell) Sanmi Koyejo (Stanford) Dorsa Sadigh (Stanford) Yisong Yue (Caltech)
