To this end, I propose two LLM-based frameworks that respectively generate interpretable PB rules and mechanisms fulfilling competing objectives, i.e., optimality vs. fairness or strategyproofness. Future directions include extending these frameworks to achieve provable guarantees and addressing other relevant areas such as fair division.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2026/951","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/951","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/0951.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/951.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/bibtex/951","volume":{"slug":"2026","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2026","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2026/","year":2026,"location":"Bremen, Germany","dates":"15-21 August 2026","editors":"Diego Calvanese","isbn":"978-1-956792-09-6","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2026"},"section":"Doctoral Consortium","track":"Doctoral Consortium","number":951,"pages":{"first":8345,"last":8346},"keywords":["Search: Heuristic search","Game Theory and Economic Paradigms: Computational social choice","Natural Language Processing: Applications"],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
