Voting (or rank aggregation) is a general method for aggregating the preferences of multiple agents. One important voting rule is the Slater rule. It selects a ranking of the alte...
Symmetry in constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) has been considered in two fundamentally different ways: as an operation preserving the solutions of a CSP instance, or as an o...

This paper presents a self-supervised framework for perceptual learning based upon correlations in different sensory modalities. We demonstrate this with a system that has learned...
We consider example-critiquing systems that help people search for their most preferred item in a large catalog. We first analyze how such systems can help users in the framework ...
We show in this paper that the influential algorithm of iterative belief propagation can be understood in terms of exact inference on a polytree, which results from deleting enoug...
We describe a user study evaluating two critiquing-based recommender agents based on three criteria: decision accuracy, decision effort, and user confidence. Results show that use...
