Second paper for this week's topic (must read by Wed)



Folks:

After you read Chapter 16 in R&N that I have already sent you, you should look at the following tutorial from
the AI Magazine:

http://rakaposhi.eas.asu.edu/cse571/brafman-pref-aimag.pdf

In making sense of these two readings, you might find the following analogy helpful:

[bayes net works] are to [atomic probability theory]

                       as

[the new paper]   is to [Chapter 16]

specifically, you can think of Chap 16 as providing an atomic model of utility/preference theory.
The paper by Brafman et al surveys the "factored" models of utilty/preference.
