Preference elicitation
Preference elicitation is a process used in various fields, including Economics, Decision theory, and Artificial intelligence, to extract and model an individual's or group's preferences, which can be used to inform decision-making and predict behavior. This process involves using different techniques, such as Surveys, Interviews, and Observational studies, to gather information about an individual's preferences and values. The goal of preference elicitation is to create a accurate and reliable model of an individual's preferences, which can be used in a variety of applications, including Recommendation systems, Resource allocation, and Policy making. Preference elicitation is closely related to the concept of Utility theory, which provides a framework for modeling and analyzing preferences.
