Towards Flexible Information Retrieval Based on CP-Nets
This paper describes a flexible information retrieval approach based on CP-Nets (Conditional Preferences Networks). The CP-Net formalism is used for both representing qualitative queries (expressing user preferences) and representing documents in order to carry out the retrieval process. Our contribution focuses on the difficult task of term weighting in the case of qualitative queries. In this...
متن کاملRank Pruning for Dominance Queries in CP-Nets
Conditional preference networks (CP-nets) are a graphical representation of a person’s (conditional) preferences over a set of discrete variables. In this paper, we introduce a novel method of quantifying preference for any given outcome based on a CP-net representation of a user’s preferences. We demonstrate that these values are useful for reasoning about user preferences. In particular, they...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Learning Acyclic CP-Nets
Learning of user preferences has become a core issue in AI research. For example, recent studies investigate learning of Conditional Preference Networks (CP-nets) from partial information. To assess the optimality of learning algorithms as well as to better understand the combinatorial structure of CP-net classes, it is helpful to calculate certain learning-theoretic information complexity para...
متن کاملHow to Learn Fuzzy User Preferences with Variable Objectives
This paper studies a possibility to learn a complex user preference model, based on CP-nets, from user ratings. This work is motivated by the need of user modelling in decision making support, for example in e-commerce. We extend our user model based on fuzzy logic to capture variation of preference objectives. The proposed method 2CP-regression is described and tested. 2CPregression uses CP-ne...
متن کاملInteractive Learning of Acyclic Conditional Preference Networks
Learning of user preferences, as represented by, for example, Conditional Preference Networks (CP-nets), has become a core issue in AI research. Recent studies investigate learning of CP-nets from randomly chosen examples or from membership and equivalence queries. To assess the optimality of learning algorithms as well as to better understand the combinatorial structure of classes of CP-nets, ...
