Ku Leuven, where Prof. Tias Guns is teaching, is organizing the ACP (Association for Constraint Programming) Summer School on “Machine Learning for Constraint Programming”, from 10 to 14 July.
The summer school will have a mix of talks and hands-on lab sessions, given by experts in the integration of ML and constraint solving.
The expert that will be intervening will be: Hendrik Blockeel, Quentin Cappart, Ferdinando Fioretto, Tias Guns, Elias Khalil, Wouter Kool, Lars Kotthoff, Michele Lombardi, Dimos Tsouros and Yingqian Zhang.
Topics will range from introductory sessions to sessions on automated tuning, prediction-based solving, reinforcement learning for branching and solution approximation, decision-focused learning, constraint acquisition and more. Only basic ML/constraint knowledge is required to participate.
There will also be a poster session for participants to present their own work, and a small-groups hackathon to experiment and get feedback on integrations that they care about.

At the World Conference on eXplainable AI (XAI) in Istanbul, TUPLES researchers Rebecca Eifler (LAAS-CNRS) and Guilhem Fouilhé (IRIT) presented IPEXCO, an innovative platform that brings humans and planners into dialogue through interactive goal-conflict explanations.
We’re proud to share that members of the TUPLES consortium — including Daniel Höller, Jörg Hoffmann, and our coordinator Sylvie Thiebaux — are on the organizing committee of the RIPL Workshop (Reliability in Planning and Learning), part of the prestigious ICAPS 2025 conference.
A recent article in the Czech magazine Nový Prostor, featuring our partners at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CVTU (Czech Technical University in Prague), offers a clear and accessible view of how TUPLES technology is already making a difference in urban waste collection — one of the project’s five real-world use cases.
Nearing the finish line of the TUPLES project, we’re reflecting on three years of ambitious, collaborative research into Trustworthy AI for Planning and Scheduling.
