Master students with basic skills in machine learning and statistics are also welcome. PrefStat aims to provide participants with a solid foundation in preference learning, and to equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary to apply these methods to real-world problems. *Course description* The PrefStat summer school is a high-level course on cutting-edge topics in the specific context of Statistical Learning from Preference Information, or Preference Learning. The course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of preference statistics, a rapidly growing field that has gained significant attention in recent years due to the numerous application fields involving human preferences: recommender systems, Large Language Models, surveys and psychological experiments, marketing, economics, and political science. Preference learning is concerned with all data analyses involving preferences, rankings, ratings, clicking, or any kind of ordinal data. It entails modeling experiments involving a set of assessors (experts, judges, users) who express order relations about a set of items, thus being a subfield of both supervised and unsupervised statistical learning. The school provides a deep introduction to the topic and insight into more challenging tasks that are of interest in modern applications, such as handling partial, unstructured, exogenous information, individual preference prediction, and importance feature selection. PrefStat 2025 combines lectures delivered by internationally leading scholars on the specific designated topic and supervised practical tutorials. Feel free to contact us (ccied) for inquiries. We are happy to welcome you to Oslo in June!
