Inference with Choice Functions Made Practical
We study how to infer new choices from previous choices in a conservative manner. To make such inferences, we use the theory of choice functions: a unifying mathematical framework for conservative decision making that allows one to impose axioms directly on the represented decisions. We here adopt the coherence axioms of De Bock and De Cooman (2019). We show how to naturally extend any given choice assessment to such a coherent choice function, whenever possible, and use this natural extension to make new choices. We present a practical algorithm to compute this natural extension and provide several methods that can be used to improve its scalability.

Lexicographic Composition of Choice Functions
Lexicographic composition is a natural way to build an aggregate choice function from component choice functions. As the name suggests, the components are ordered and choose sequentially. The sets that subsequent compone…
Choice Set Misspecification in Reward Inference
Specifying reward functions for robots that operate in environments without a natural reward signal can be challenging, and incorrectly specified rewards can incentivise degenerate or dangerous behavior. A promising alte…
Generalizing the Kelly strategy
Prompted by a recent experiment by Victor Haghani and Richard Dewey, this note generalises the Kelly strategy (optimal for simple investment games with log utility) to a large class of practical utility functions and inc…
Implicit Differentiation by Perturbation
This paper proposes a simple and efficient finite difference method for implicit differentiation of marginal inference results in discrete graphical models. Given an arbitrary loss function, defined on marginals, we show…
Bayesian Automatic Relevance Determination for Utility Function Specification in Discrete Choice Models
Specifying utility functions is a key step towards applying the discrete choice framework for understanding the behaviour processes that govern user choices. However, identifying the utility function specifications that …
