Jonas Karge Wins Student Best Paper Award at PRIMA24
Jonas Karge, PhD student at the chair of Computational Logic at the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science, TU Dresden, was awarded the Martin Purvis Student Best Paper Award for his contribution „Taming Dilation in Imprecise Pooling“ at this year’s edition of the International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA24) in Kyoto, Japan.
In this paper, Jonas Karge developed the first formal treatment of dilation for the case where the imprecise or interval-valued probabilistic beliefs of multiple agents are aggregated. Dilation is one of the most important concerns associated with imprecise probabilities in general, and describes the phenomenon that, in some cases, the acquisition of new information inevitably leads to an increase in uncertainty. Furthermore, the paper describes the precise conditions under which and to what extent dilation is expected to occur, using a recently proposed aggregation framework for imprecise probabilities, referred to as Voting for Bins.
PRIMA is a well-established conference in the multi-agent research community and celebrated its 25th edition in 2024. It invites both theoretical and applied contributions in the field of multi-agent systems, the study of the interaction of autonomous agents - entities capable of independent decision making - in a shared environment. In this year's edition of PRIMA, papers on coordination and cooperation, logical aspects of multi-agent systems, and computational social choice were particularly represented.
Our heartfelt congratulations on this success!
