| Abstract | In this study, we explore the use of Knowledge Based Altificial Neural Networks (KBANN),
pioneered by Shavlik and Towell, 1994 [25], to learn user preferences under ce1tainty. We
start by describing the problem of choosing a used motorcar, where it is reasonable to make
several assumptions about preferential independence and monotonicity. We then show how
to represent these assumptions as Horn-Clause theories that can be encoded in a ! |
