Interest-based Preference Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the context of practical reasoning, such as decision making and negotiation, it is necessary to model preferences over possible outcomes. Such preferences usually depend on multiple criteria. We argue that the criteria by which outcomes are evaluated should be the satisfaction of a person’s underlying interests: the more an outcome satisfies his interests, the more preferred it is. Underlying interests can explain and eliminate conditional preferences. Also, modelling interests will create a better model of human preferences, and can lead to better, more creative deals in negotiation. We present an argumentation framework for reasoning about interest-based preferences. We take a qualitative approach and provide the means to derive both ceteris paribus and lexicographic preferences.

Theoretical and Computational Properties of Preference-based Argumentation
During the last years, argumentation has been gaining increasing interest in modeling different reasoning tasks of an agent. Many recent works have acknowledged the importance of incorporating preferences or priorities in argumentation. However, relatively little is known about the theoretical and computational implications of preferences in argumentation. In this paper we introduce and study a...
متن کاملPreferences over Sets
Typically, work on preference elicitation and reasoning about preferences has focused on the problem of specifying, modeling, and optimizing with preference over outcomes corresponding to single objects of interest. In a number of applications, however, the “outcomes” of interest are really sets of such atomic outcomes. For instance, when trying to form coalitions or committees, we need to sele...
متن کاملPREFLIB: A Library for Preferences
We introduce PREFLIB: A Library for Preferences; an online resource located at http://www.preflib.org. With the emergence of computational social choice and an increased awareness of the applicability of preference reasoning techniques to areas ranging from recommendation systems to kidney exchanges, the interest in preferences has never been higher. We hope to encourage the growth of all facet...
متن کاملPreference Reasoning for Argumentation: Non-monotonicity and Algorithms
In this paper we are interested in the role of preferences in argumentation theory. To promote a higher impact of preference reasoning in argumentation, we introduce a novel preference-based argumentation theory. Using non-monotonic preference reasoning we derive a Dung-style attack relation from a preference specification together with a defeat relation. In particular, our theory uses efficien...
متن کاملPreference-Based CBR: General Ideas and Basic Principles
Building on recent research on preference handling in artificial intelligence and related fields, our goal is to develop a coherent and generic methodological framework for case-based reasoning (CBR) on the basis of formal concepts and methods for knowledge representation and reasoning with preferences. A preference-based approach to CBR appears to be appealing for several reasons, notably beca...
