ABSTRACT
This talk will discuss the theory of discrete choice with a particular focus on aspects that are of interest to practitioners of large-scale data mining and analysis. We'll look at some example types of choice problems, including geographic choice as in restaurant selection, repeated sequential choice as in music listening, and the induction of nested models of choice.

Choice Set Confounding in Discrete Choice
KDD '21: Proceedings of the 27th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data MiningStandard methods in preference learning involve estimating the parameters of discrete choice models from data of selections (choices) made by individuals from a discrete set of alternatives (the choice set). While there are many models for individual ...

CIKM '15: Proceedings of the 24th ACM International on Conference on Information and Knowledge ManagementThe online world is rife with scenarios in which a user must select one from a finite set of alternatives: which movie to watch, which song to play, which camera to order, which website to visit. There is a long history of study of these types of ...
