Awards

The tradition of Test of Time awards, initiated at KR 2020, is continued at KR 2023. The Test of Time award is for a paper published at least 15 years ago (counting from 2023) which has stood the test of time. This year the award goes to:

Judea Pearl and Thomas S. Verma

for their KR 1991 paper “A Theory of Inferred Causation”.

For the second time, KR 2023 also awarded the KR Early Career Award. Researchers eligible for this award need to have completed their doctoral degree in 2021 or 2022. This year the award goes to:

Munyque Mittelmann

for her work on strategic reasoning and its application to automated mechanism design.

We are very grateful to our award committee—Meghyn Bienvenu, Jim Delgrande, and Tommie Meyer—for contributing their time, expertise, and effort in selecting the winners.
