We investigate how to combine a collection of quantum binary models into a multinomial classifier. We employ a hybrid approach, adopting strategies like one-vs-one, one-vs-rest and a binary decision tree. We benchmark each method, by…

Qualitative Choice Logic (QCL) and Conjunctive Choice Logic (CCL) are formalisms for preference handling, with especially QCL being well established in the field of AI. So far, analyses of these logics need to be done on a case-by-case…

In multi-objective decision planning and learning, much attention is paid to producing optimal solution sets that contain an optimal policy for every possible user preference profile. We argue that the step that follows, i.e, determining…
