The Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI) is the premier international conferenceon research related to representation, inference, learning and decision making in the presence of uncertaintywithin the field of Artificial Intelligence. This volume contains all papers that were accepted for the 35thUAI Conference, held in Tel Aviv, Israel from July 22 to 25, 2019.

Papers appearing in this conference were subjected to a rigorous review process. A total of 450 paperswere submitted, and our aim was to have each of these receive five high quality reviews, with every paperreceiving at least three. Of these submitted papers, 118 were accepted, for an acceptance rate of approxi-mately 26%. We are very grateful to the program committee and senior program committee members fortheir diligent efforts. We are confident that these proceedings, like past UAI conference proceedings, willbecome an important archival reference for the field.

We are pleased to announce that the Best Paper Award was awarded to Sanghack Lee, Juan D. Correa,and Elias Bareinboim for their paper “General Identifiability with Arbitrary Surrogate Experiments.” TheBest Student Paper Award was awarded to Topi Talvitie, Aleksis Vuoksenmaa, and Mikko Koivisto for theirpaper “Exact Sampling of Directed Acyclic Graphs from Modular Distributions.”

In addition to the presentation of technical papers, we were very pleased to have five distinguished invitedspeakers at UAI 2019: Rina Dechter (UC Irvine), Suchi Saria (Johns Hopkins University), Emma Brunskill(Stanford University), Stefanie Jegelka (MIT), and Yee Whye Teh (Oxford University and Deepmind).

The UAI 2019 program consisted of four invited tutorials: “Tractable Probabilistic Models: Repre-sentations, Algorithms, Learning, and Applications” by Guy Van den Broeck (UCLA), Nicola Di Mauro(Universit degli Studi di Bari), and Antonio Vergari (UCLA); “Mixing Graphical Models and Neural NetsLike Chocolate and Peanut Butter” by Matthew Johnson (Google Brain); “Causal Reinforcement Learning”by Elias Bareinboim (Columbia University); and “Mathematics of Deep Learning” by Raja Giryes (Tel AvivUniversity).

AcknowledgementsThe success of UAI depends greatly on the efforts of many individuals who volunteer their time to pro-vide expert and detailed reviews of submitted papers. In particular, the Program Committee and SeniorProgram Committee for UAI 2019 were responsible for generating reviews and recommendations for thesubmissions to the conference. All submissions were reviewed by at least three and at most five membersof the Program Committee; most submissions received five reviews. The Senior Program Committee thenassessed the individual reviews for each paper, moderated discussion among Program Committee membersif needed, and generated meta-reviews and recommendations for the program chairs. We are extremelygrateful for the efforts of all of the individuals listed below.
