Report on the 3rd International Workshop onLearning to Quantify (LQ 2023)

Published: 28 March 2024 Publication History

Abstract

The 3rd International Workshop on Learning to Quantify (LQ 2023)1 took place on September 18, 2023 in Torino, IT, where it was organised as a satellite event of the 34th European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECML PKDD 2023). Like the main program of the conference, the workshop employed a hybrid format, with all presentations given in presence and with attendees participating in presence or online. This report presents a summary of the workshop, briefly summarising the individual works presented, and touching on the main issues that emerged during the final, open discussion.
