In
this paper we propose to model a negotiator’s decision-making behavior,
expressed as preferences between an offer/counter-offer gamble and a certain
offer, by learning from implicit choices that can be inferred from observed
negotiation actions. The agent’s actions in a negotiation sequence provide
information about his preferences and risk-taking behavior. We show how offers
and counter-offers in negotiation can be transformed into gamble questions
providing a basis for inferring implicit preferences. Finally, we present the
results of experiments and evaluation we have undertaken.
