he International Conference on Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM) is a biennial meeting that brings together researchers interested in all aspects of graphical models for probabilistic reasoning, decision making, and learning.
PGM 2024 is the twelfth edition of the International Conference on Probabilistic Graphical Models. It will take place in Nijmegen (the Netherlands, EU) between the 11th and the 13th of September 2024.

Call for papers
The conference welcomes contributions on all aspects of graphical models, including but not limited to:

Principles of Bayesian networks, chain graphs, sum-product networks, influence diagrams, probabilistic relational models, and other probabilistic graphical models (PGMs).
Information processing in PGMs (exact and approximate inference).
Learning and data mining in the context of PGMs: machine learning approaches, statistical testing and search methods, MCMC simulation.
Construction and explanation of PGMs, exploiting results from related disciplines such as statistics, information theory, optimization, deep learning, and decision making under uncertainty.
Software systems based on PGMs.
Application of PGMs to real-world problems.
Both theoretical and applied contributions are welcome.

Submit your paper
Papers submitted for review should report on original, previously unpublished work. The deadline for abstract submissions is May 20th, 2024 and the deadline for paper submissions is May 27th, 2024.

Accepted papers will be published electronically in a volume of the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research.

Conference papers must be submitted electronically through Microsoft CMT. Please download the Author Kit here. Submissions need to be prepared using this Author Kit and are limited to 12 pages excluding references. Each submission will go through a standard reviewing process. Papers will be accepted for either plenary or poster presentation, but, in the proceedings, no distinction is made between the two.

At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the conference.

There will be a workshop on PGMs in Health Care, co-located with the conference, just prior to PGM 2024 (on September 10, 2024).

IJAR Special Issue
Selected papers will be invited to be extended and then submitted to a special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (IJAR).

Best student paper award
Our sponsor BayesFusion offers a best student paper award.

Travel support grants for students
The Donders Institute has sponsored a number of grants to support student travel. We are looking into additional funding for student travel grants. More information on how to apply will be provided once the registration period is open.
