Abstract
Please indicate your opinion on the following statement: ”I believe that there is no absolute right and wrong.”
Do you:
a) fully disagree b) somewhat disagree c) neither agree nor disagree d) somewhat agree e) full agree ?
(question taken from the International Personality Item Pool)
I will present a novel generative model—and associated approximate inference algorithm—for answers given in questionnaires. In contrast to the state of the art methods from psychology, the new model allows for the fact that answers to different questions mean different things to different people.
Series This talk is part of the Inference Group series.
