Call to Order: A Hierarchical Browsing Approach to Eliciting Users' Preference

Summary: Hierarchical browsing uses order-based skyline representatives to reveal user preferences for ranking queries. A dendrogram of skyline objects, with visualization, lets users refine weights; experiments show feasibility and efficiency. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
