**** SCOPE & TOPICS ****
This DEXA workshop explores state-of-the-art probabilistic models in AI, highlighting their essential role in making robust decisions under uncertainty. AI systems are increasingly used in critical decision-making across various sectors and have to reason accurately amidst uncertainty, providing reliable support in fields where inaccuracies could have severe consequences. The workshop is covering, but not restricted to, following topics:
- Probabilistic Modelling and Reasoning: Probabilistic machine learning methods that are used in a wide range of different fields with a focus on probabilistic graphical models.
- Causal Inference and Discovery: Methodologies for identifying causal relationships from data. This includes algorithmic approaches, challenges and implications of causal discovery and causal inference.
- Cutting-edge Probabilistic Models: Latest state-of-the-art models such as (Deep) Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Deep Boltzmann Machines, Deep Belief Networks, Bayesian Neural Networks, Deep Markov Models
- Domain-Specific Applications: Submissions that cover the practical applications of probabilistic models in diverse fields such as industry, medicine, and more, showcasing real-world examples.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
In order to encourage participation and discussion, this workshop solicits two types of submissions:
• Regular paper submissions about original work not exceeding 10 pages.
• Short paper submissions on recent or ongoing work on relevant topics and ideas not exceeding 5 pages.

**** REVIEW PROCESS ****
Submissions to the workshop must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 reviewers and judged based on originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the workshop. Short papers are meant for timely discussion and feedback at the workshop.

**** ACCEPTED PAPERS ****
All accepted papers will be published by Springer in "Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS). Authors of all accepted papers must sign a Springer copyright release form. Papers are accepted with the understanding that at least one author will register for the conference to present the paper. All published papers will be indexed appropriately in all major indexes.
