Advancing Knowledge in Decision Sciences

About Us

Most of the research activities of the department belong to the field of applied mathematics. The focus is on theoretical problems as well as problems connected with implementation of methods in the following areas:

  • mathematical optimization
  • nonsmooth analysis
  • differential equations
  • variational problems
  • probabilistic models of decision support systems
  • conditional independence structures
  • uncertainty in artificial intelligence
  • mathematical logic
  • multicriteria decision making

The Winter School of the Department of Decision-Making Theory is a well-established gathering of students and researchers from the department, collaborating researchers from several Czech institutions, and international guests. This year, it is organized by Tomáš Roubal, M. Studený, and J. Outrata. The scientific program reflects the research interests of the MTR UTIA department and our guests… read more...

Advances in Probabilistic Sentential Decision Diagram Learning and Inference (in room 203)Date:
Illustration

Probabilistic Sentential Decision Diagrams (PSDDs) are an elegant framework for learning from and reasoning about data. They provide tractable representations of discrete probability distributions over structured spaces defined by massive logical constraints, can be compiled from graphical models such as Bayesian networks, and can be learned from both complete and incomplete datasets. The… read more...

The 13th Workshop on Uncertainty Processing - WUPES 2025Date:

Telč, Czech Republic, September 9-12, 2024

The Czech-Japan Seminars on Data Analysis and Decision Making under Uncertainty were initiated by two meetings held in Ishikawa and Čeladná in 1999. These meetings were financially supported by an international collaborative research project between the Czech Republic and Japan. The initial meetings were quite successful both in producing new results… read more...
