Constructed Preferences and Value-focused Thinking: Implications for AI research on Preference Elicitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Decision theory has changed considerably in the last decade. In behavioral decision theory, a large number of studies have shown that human decision making is inherently adaptive and constructive. In prescriptive decision theory, we have witnessed a move from an alternative-focused approach to a value-focused approach. In this paper, we discuss the implications of these new ideas in behavioral and prescriptive decision theory for AI research on preference elicitation.

wide variety of AI applications, addressing the preference bottleneck is vital. Specifically, since the ability to make reasonable decisions on behalf of a user depends on that user’s preferences over outcomes in the domain in question, AI systems must assess or estimate these preferences before making decisions. Designing effective preference assessment techniques to incorporate such user-spec...
متن کاملUser-Involved Preference Elicitation for Product Search and Recommender Systems
products or services, planning a trip, or scheduling resources, people increasingly rely on computerized product recommender systems (also called product search tools) to find outcomes that best satisfy their needs and preferences. However, automated decision systems cannot effectively search the space of possible solutions without an accurate model of a user’s preferences. Preference acquisiti...
متن کاملUser-Centered Design of Preference Elicitation Interfaces for Decision Support
A crucial aspect for the success of systems that provide decision or negotiation support is a good model of their user’s preferences. Psychology research has shown that people often do not have well-defined preferences. Instead they construct them during the elicitation process. This implies that the interaction between the system and a user can greatly influence the quality of the preference i...

We consider the challenge of preference elicitation in systems that help users discover the most desirable item(s) within a given database. Past work on preference elicitation focused on structured models that provide a factored representation of users’ preferences. Such models require less information to construct and support efficient reasoning algorithms. This paper makes two substantial con...
متن کاملPreference elicitation and learning
Preferences are fundamental to decision processes, because decision analysts must account for the preferences of the stakeholders who participate in these processes and are impacted by the decision outcomes. To support the elicitation of stakeholder preferences, many models, procedures and methodologies have been proposed. These approaches to preference elicitation and learning will become more...
