Whose Motive Matters: Discrimination in Multi-Actor Employment Decision Making

Actor/observer asymmetry in risky decision making

Are people willing to gamble more for themselves than what they deem reasonable for others? We addressed this question in a simplified computer gambling task in which subjects chose from a set of 10 cards. Subjects selected one card at a time after being instructed that 9 cards were good (win a dollar per card) and one was really bad (lose all the money and end the game). Subjects could stop pl...

Sentire Decision Making in a Mixed-Motive Game

The complexity of situations makes individuals use emotions to make sense of their environment and interdependent others. In this paper, we build on the idea that physiological reactions give emotional information about the subject and we focus on Electrodermal Activity (EDA), an index of arousal, to inspect deep processes of a dyadic interaction in a mixedmotive game. Our interest lies on how ...

An AHP-Delphi Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model with Application to Environmental Decision-Making

Multi-Objective Decision Making

Many real-world tasks require making decisions that involve multiple possibly conflicting objectives. To succeed in such tasks, intelligent systems need planning or learning algorithms that can e ciently find di↵erent ways of balancing the trade-o↵s that such objectives present. In this tutorial, we provide an introduction to decision-theoretic approaches to coping with multiple objectives. We ...

Evaluation of recommender systems: A multi-criteria decision making approach

The evaluation and selection of recommender systems is a difficult decision making process. This difficulty is partially due to the large diversity of published evaluation criteria in addition to lack of standardized methods of evaluation. As such, a systematic methodology is needed that explicitly considers multiple, possibly conflicting metrics and assists decision makers to evaluate and find...
