Zusammenfassung
Temporal plan preferences are natural and impor- tant in a variety of applications. Yet users often find it difficult to formalize their preferences. Here we explore the possibility to learn preferences from example plans. Focusing on one preference at a time, the user is asked to annotate examples as good/bad. We leverage prior work on LTL formula learning to extract a preference from these exam- ples. We conduct an empirical study of this ap- proach in an oversubscription planning context, us- ing hidden target formulas to emulate the user pref- erences. We explore four different methods for gen- erating example plans, and evaluate performance as a function of domain and formula size. Overall, we find that reasonable-size target formulas can often be learned effectively.
