Abstract :
We consider the task of scheduling a conference based on incomplete information about resources and constraints, which requires elicitation of additional data, and describe a learning procedure that improves elicitation strategies. We outline the representation of incomplete knowledge, and then describe an adaptive elicitation procedure, which learns to identify critical missing data.
