Exploring Users' Preferences in a Fuzzy Setting

Exploring Users' Preferences in a Fuzzy Setting

We propose a new method for modelling users’ preferences on attributes that contain more than one trait. Starting with a data set the users have to enter a sort of order on the attributes in form of formulas corresponding to their preferences. Based on this order they only receive the relevant formal concepts, i.e., “object-attribute clusters”, where relevant corresponds to the users’ point of ...

Target setting in additive models with preferences and interval data

Arrow theorems in the fuzzy setting

Throughout this paper, our  main idea is to analyze the Arrovian approach in a fuzzy context, paying attention to different extensions of the classical Arrow's model arising in mathematical Social Choice to aggregate preferences that the agents define on a set of alternatives. There is a wide set of extensions. Some of them give rise to an impossibility theorem as in the Arrovian classical  mod...

Exploring Mind Wandering in a Technological Setting

This study investigates the moderating role of mind wandering in influencing the relationships between on-task thought and two functional outcomes of interacting with technology (i.e., creativity and knowledge retention). The study extends the content regulation hypothesis of mind wandering by differentiating mind wandering into two categories—technology-related and nontechnology-related. The s...
