Modelling Ceteris Paribus Preferences with Deontic Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract We present a formal semantics for deontic logic based on the concept of ceteris paribus preferences. introduce notions unconditional obligation and permission as well conditional that are interpreted relative to this semantics. show these satisfy some intuitive properties and, at same time, do not encounter problems paradoxes have been extensively discussed in literature. prove satisfiability problem our is NP. Finally, we fragment which content operator literal has an equivalent representation preference networks (CP-nets).

Representing Preferences as Ceteris Paribus Comparatives
Decision-theoretic preferences specify the relative desirability of all possible outcomes of alternative plans. In order to express general patterns of preference holding in a domain, we require a language that can refer directly to preferences over classes of outcomes as well as individuals. We present the basic concepts of a theory of meaning for such generic comparatives to facilitate their ...
متن کاملUtility Functions for Ceteris Paribus Preferences
Although ceteris paribus preference statements concisely represent one natural class of preferences over outcomes or goals, many applications of such preferences require numeric utility function representations to achieve computational efficiency. We provide algorithms, complete for finite universes of binary features, for converting a set of qualitative ceteris paribus preferences into quantit...
متن کاملCeteris paribus logic in counterfactual reasoning
The semantics for counterfactuals due to David Lewis has been challenged on the basis of unlikely, or impossible, events. Such events may skew a given similarity order in favour of those possible worlds which exhibit them. By updating the relational structure of a model according to a ceteris paribus clause one forces out, in a natural manner, those possible worlds which do not satisfy the requ...
متن کاملUpside-Down Preference Reversal: How to Override Ceteris-Paribus Preferences?
Specific preference statements may reverse general preference statements, thus constituting a change of attitude in particular situations. We define a semantics of preference reversal by relaxing the popular ceteris-paribus principle. We characterize preference reversal as default reasoning and we link it to prioritized Pareto-optimization, which permits a natural computation of preferred solut...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Learning Separable ceteris paribus Preferences
We address the problem of learning preference relations on multi-attribute (or combinatorial) domains. We do so by making a very simple hypothesis about the dependence structure between attributes that the preference relation enjoys, namely separability (no preferential dependencies between attributes). Given a set of examples consisting of comparisons between alternatives, we want to output a ...
