Explaining Qualitative Preference Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an explanation facility for a qualitative preference representation framework. We show how an explanation can be provided for qualitative, multi-criteria preferences based on the criteria that are used to decide preferences between outcomes. Such a facility provides an important tool for a user to understand how preferences are determined. We show that this facility can also be used by a user to inform the system about its preferences. Such a user-provided explanation can be used for updating and improving a preference model maintained by the system.

متن کاملA Formal Preference-State Model with Qualitative Market Judgements
Formal models of market demands derived from the economic theory of choice have four deficiencies for the modelling of some FMCG markets. 1) For many FMCGs — especially food and drink products — customer preferences depend on the purposes for which purchases are made and each individual can have different purposes in mind when purchasing at different times.
