CALL FOR PAPERS
The Tenth International Workshop on Three-Way Decision (TWD 2024)
Theme: Uncertainty, Three-Way Decision, and Explainable Artificial IntelligenceinThe 2024 International Joint Conference on Rough Sets
May 17-20, 2024, Halifax, Canada
INTRODUCTION
The interpretability of any intelligent systems is particularly relevant and important when dealing withhuman-centric tasks, such as in medical sciences, cognitive science, business and management sciences,
social sciences, agricultural sciences, and everyday decision. Uncertain information is critical for data mining and knowledge discovery in these scenarios. The analysis results from uncertain information and their
obtaining process need reasonable interpretations to be convincing and valuable. The theory of three-way
decision, introduced by Professor Yiyu Yao, is an emerging scientific field of study on thinking in threes,
problem solving in threes, and computing in threes. It provides a unified multi-disciplinary framework
to study fundamental concepts, approaches, and applications of decision-making with three elements.
The philosophy and principles of three-way decision are useful in guiding the construction of explainable
description from three levels of granularity, in triple perspectives, and for triple purposes. Combinedwith granular computing, multi-level computing, multi-view computing, and related techniques, three-way
computing advances explainable artificial intelligence through effective representation, reasoning, measurement, and utilization of uncertain information. Three-way decision has been successfully exploited in theareas of rough sets, uncertain reasoning, granular computing, risk decision analysis, dynamic data analysis,
data science, explainable artificial intelligence, and many others.
TOPICS
We would like to stimulate an intensive discussion on the state-of-the-art trends and developments oftheories of uncertainty, three-way decision, and explainable artificial intelligence. We warmly invite you tosubmit and present original and unpublished research work, to evaluate future directions of uncertainty inthree-way decision, the application of three-way decision, and the explainable artificial intelligence. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:• Three-way reasoning, thinking in threes, trilevel thinking, triadic thinking• Methodology of three-way decision, tripartite methods, three-way learning• Three-way decision for explainable artificial intelligence• Visual three-way computing and three-way visual computing• Three-way classification, three-way cluster analysis• Three-way formal concept analysis• Three-way quotient space analysis• Uncertainty measurement and reasoning and three-way decision under uncertainty• Three-way stream computing and concept drift• Three-way dynamic learning, incremental learning and dynamic modeling• Sequential three-way decision and the application• Multi-scale three-way decision• Double-quantitative three-way decision• Multi-granulation three-way decision• Bayesian rough set theory and cost-sensitive three-way decision• Fuzzy three-way decision and three-way fuzzy decision• Three-way decision in system engineering and management science• Three-way decision in deep learning and three-way decision in machine learning• Three-way decision in bioinformatics• Three-way decision in smart agriculture• Three-way decision in information security and privacy protection• Three-way multi-label learning and label distribution learning• Three-way ensemble learning• Three-way decision in analyzing incomplete data
• Three-way decision in big data analysis and data mining• Three-way group decision making• Three-way decision for network group of forecasts• Three-way for feature selection• Three-way decision with interval sets
WORKSHOP HISTORY
Annual workshops on three-way decision and granular computing were successfully held in different cities
around the world. The First International Symposium on Three-way Decisions and Granular Computing(ISTDGC 2013) was held in Chengdu, China in 2013. The Second International Workshop on Three-Way
Decisions, Uncertainty, and Granular Computing (TWDUG 2014) was held in Shanghai, China in 2014.
Subsequent workshops were held at International Joint Conference on Rough Sets:
