Idealizations of uncertainty, and lessons from artificial intelligence

Smith, Robert Elliott - 2015

Making decisions under uncertainty is at the core of human decision-making, particularly economic decision-making. In economics, a distinction is often made between quantifiable uncertainty (risk) and un-quantifiable uncertainty (Knight, Uncertainty and Profit, 1921). However, this distinction...

Decidability in complex social choices

Amendola, Gennaro; Marengo, Luigi; Pirino, Davide; … - 2013

In this paper we develop on a geometric model of social choice among bundles of interdependent elements (objects). Social choice can be seen as a process of search for optima in a complex multi-dimensional space and objects determine a decomposition of such a space into subspaces. We present a...
