A Simple Experiment to Guide the Design of a Preference Model

Preferences are part of every day life driving to choice and action. We consider that there is a gap between preferences expressed by people and those we can find in the repositories. In this paper we explore a small set of preferences in the domain of movies, given by humans, in order to understand the expressive possibilities of some languages appearing in the literature: conditional logics and reward logics. After some experiments we contribute with a proposal for reasoning about preferences.
