This leads to decisions in situations where gathering more information would be more appropriate. This paper ...

Ignorant In uence Diagrams

Innuence Diagrams (ids) are a graphic formalism able to provide a compact representation of decision problems. ids are based on the axioms of probability and decision theory, and they deene a normative framework to model decision making. Unfortunately, ids require a large amount of information that is not always available to the decision maker. This paper introduces a new class of ids, called I...

The goal is to find at least one item per user that the user likes, with as few queries as possible. Since there are matrices where any algorithm performs badly without any preliminary knowledge of the input matrix, we reveal an anonymized version of the input matrix to the algorit...
