Constraint-based optimization and utility elicitation using the minimax decision criterion
In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which multiple users have distinct preferences. However, making su...

Online feature elicitation in interactive optimization
Most models of utility elicitation in decision support and interactive optimization assume a predefined set of "catalog" features over which user preferences are express...

Risk minimization, probability elicitation, and cost-sensitive SVMs
A new procedure for learning cost-sensitive SVM classifiers is proposed. The SVM hinge loss is extended to the cost sensitive setting, and the cost-sensitive SVM is derived as the...

Utilities as Random Variables: Density Estimation and Structure Discovery
Decision theory does not traditionally include uncertainty over utility functions. We argue that the a person's utility value for a given outcome can be treated as we treat o...
