Abstract
Direction 2: Learning Preferences From Data. I model preferences using representation schema inspired by work on lexicographic heuristic decision involving multiple factors from the psychology literature, as well as using machine learning techniques. By developing novel natural language features to describe content, and using models of decision making from psychology literature that require very little training data, I find that: We can model the factors affecting voting behavior on real world data from social media and laboratory sourced question answering data with applications to crowdsourcing.
