Generating Top-k Packages via Preference Elicitation
Summary: Models preferences over packages with a learnable linear utility under uncertainty, updated via preference elicitation from user feedback. Offers sampling-based learning and an efficient top-k package generator with multiple ranking semantics, addressing hard constraints and Pareto overload. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
