In this talk, I will present a formalism for representing<br \/>\ncardinal preferences using sets of weighted formulas. These sets of<br \/>\nweighted formulas, called goalbases, when collected as sets themselves,<br \/>\nform goalbase languages. Pleasantly, it happens that forming goalbase<br \/>\nlanguages by placing syntactic restrictions on the weighted formulas<br \/>\ntheir goalbases contain gives us languages which correspond to common<br \/>\nclasses of utility functions. In the Theory part of this talk, I will<br \/>\ndiscuss the classification we made of the expressivity, succinctness,<br \/>\nand complexity of various goalbase languages. In the Applications part,<br \/>\nI will describe the use of goalbases for representing preferences (as<br \/>\nbids) in auctions and (as ballots) in voting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Wednesday 3rd of March at 14:00 hrs we will have another session of our seminar: Joel Uckelman, from ILLC, will present his work entitled Preference Representation Using Weighted Formulas: Theory &#038; Applications with the abstract given below.<br \/>\nThe meeting will take place in room A114 in Science Park 904.<br \/>\nAbstract<br \/>\nUtility functions are the most obvious way [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=578"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":587,"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578\/revisions\/587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/projects.illc.uva.nl\/lgc\/seminar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
