Cautious Learning of Multiattribute Preferences
This paper is dedicated to a cautious learning methodology for predicting preferences between alternatives characterized by binary attributes (formally, each alternative is seen as a subset of attributes). By "cautious", we mean that the model learned to represent the multi-attribute preferences is general enough to be compatible with any strict weak order on the alternatives, and that we allow ourselves not to predict some preferences if the data collected are not compatible with a reliable prediction. A predicted preference will be considered reliable if all the simplest models (following Occam's razor principle) explaining the training data agree on it. Predictions are based on an ordinal dominance relation between alternatives [Fishburn and LaValle, 1996]. The dominance relation relies on an uncertainty set encompassing the possible values of the parameters of the multi-attribute utility function. Numerical tests are provided to evaluate the richness and the reliability of the predictions made.

Multiattribute Auctions Based on Generalized Additive Independence
We develop multiattribute auctions that accommodate generalized additive independent (GAI) preferences. We propose an iterative auction mechanism that maintains prices on potentially overlapping GAI clusters of attribute…
Equilibrium control theory for Kihlstrom-Mirman preferences in continuous time
In intertemporal settings, the multiattribute utility theory of Kihlstrom and Mirman suggests the application of a concave transform of the lifetime utility index. This construction, while allowing time and risk attitude…
Nonparametric Discrete Choice Experiments with Machine Learning Guided Adaptive Design
Designing products to meet consumers' preferences is essential for a business's success. We propose the Gradient-based Survey (GBS), a discrete choice experiment for multiattribute product design. The experiment elicits …
Cautious Dual-Self Expected Utility and Weak Uncertainty Aversion
Uncertainty aversion introduced by Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989) has played a central role in decision theory, but at the same time, many incompatible behaviors have been observed in the real world. In this paper, we cons…
Representation of preferences for multiple criteria decision aiding in a new seven-valued logic
The seven-valued logic considered in this paper naturally arises within the rough set framework, allowing to distinguish vagueness due to imprecision from ambiguity due to coarseness. Recently, we discussed its utility f…
