Title
Learning User Plan Preferences Obfuscated by Feasibility Constraints
Abstract
It has long been recognized that users can have complex pref- erences on plans. Non-intrusive learning of such preferences by observing the plans executed by the user is an attractive idea. Unfortunately, the executed plans are often not a true representation of user preferences, as they result from the in- teraction between user preferences and feasibility constr aints. In the travel planning scenario, a user whose true preference is to travel by a plane may well be frequently observed travel- ing by car because of feasibility constraints (perhaps the u ser is a poor graduate student). In this work, we describe a novel method for learning true user preferences obfuscated by such feasibility constraints. Our base learner induces probabi lis- tic hierarchical task networks (pHTNs) from sets of training plans. Our approach is to rescale the input so that it repre- sents the user's preference distribution on plans rather th an the observed distribution on plans.
