Explaining Preferences and Preferring Explanations

2015
In this paper we study the possibility of providing causal explanations for preferred answer sets, such as those obtained from logic programs with ordered disjunction LPODs. We use a recently defined multi-valued semantics for answer sets based on a causal algebra and consider its direct application to LPODs by several illustrating examples.

2021
This chapter presents the formal aspects of decision making and introduce a set-theoretic representation of preferences to give a formal definition of the best decisions.
