However few existing explanation systems use knowledge bases providing multiple models of ~eir topics of explanation let alone account for the selectton of a model for a given explanation. This paper demonstrates the utility of a preference-based mechanism for model selection. Selection heuristics are made explicit as preferences and can be added, modified, or removed without modifying the interpreter or other planning knowledge. The mechanism is more general than previous mechanisms for model selection or \"perspective,,. and can apply previously identified model selection criteria.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/167","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/0167.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/167.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/bibtex/167","volume":{"slug":"1993","title":"Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1993","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/","year":1993,"location":"Chambéry, France","dates":"","editors":"Ruzena Bajcsy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Natural Language","track":"Natural Language","number":167,"pages":{"first":1208,"last":1214},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
