[CFP] TPM 2026: The 9th Workshop on Tractable Probabilistic Modeling at UAI 2026

[adrian....@gmail.com]

Dear all,

We are excited to invite submissions for the 9th Workshop on Tractable Probabilistic Modeling (TPM 2026): From Tensor Networks to Causality and Beyond, which will be held at UAI 2026 on August 21st in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Overview
Safety-critical AI applications demand causal reasoning under uncertainty with rigorous guarantees, from certified fairness and robustness to privacy. Tractable probabilistic models (TPMs) address these needs by enabling reliable, efficient inference across logical reasoning, tensor factorizations, and causal inference. This year's edition of TPM highlights the expanding connections between probabilistic circuits, tensor networks, and causality, aiming to bring together researchers across these communities to exchange ideas and advance the field.

We restrict the format to be up to 4 pages, excluding references, in UAI format. We welcome three types of contributions:

• Research papers that discuss novel TPM research.
• Retrospective papers discussing the impact, consequences, and lessons learned from classical TPM papers.
• TPM papers recently accepted at top ML and AI conferences (in their original format).

Important Dates
Submission Opening: April 9, 2026 AoE
Submission Deadline: June 12, 2026 AoE
Notification of Acceptance: July 3, 2026 AoE

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• New tractable representations in logical, continuous, and hybrid domains.
• Learning algorithms for TPMs.
• Theoretical and empirical analysis of TPMs.
• Connections between TPM classes.
• TPMs for responsible, robust, and explainable AI.
• Approximate inference algorithms with guarantees.
• Applications of TPMs, with a special focus on causality and tensor networks.
