Preference-based feedback (e.g. \"Show me more like item A \") is an inherently ambiguous form of feedback with a limited ability to guide the recommendation process, and for this reason it is usually avoided. Nevertheless we believe that certain domains demand the use of preference-based feedback. As such, we describe and evaluate a flexible recommendation strategy that has the potential to improve the performance of case-based recommenders that rely on preference-based feedback.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/18","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0018.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/18.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/18","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":18,"pages":{"first":127,"last":131},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
