Adaptive Questionnaires for Direct Identification of Optimal Product Design

no code implementations5 Jan 2017 Max Yi Ren, Clayton Scott

In this work, we (1) demonstrate that accurate preference estimation is neither necessary nor sufficient for identifying the optimal design, (2) introduce a novel adaptive questionnaire that leverages knowledge about engineering feasibility and manufacturing costs to directly determine the optimal design, and (3) interpret product design in terms of a nonlinear segmentation of part-worth space, and use this interpretation to illuminate the intrinsic difficulty of optimal design in the presence of noisy questionnaire responses.

Learning an Optimization Algorithm through Human Design Iterations

no code implementations24 Aug 2016 Thurston Sexton, Max Yi Ren

Solving optimal design problems through crowdsourcing faces a dilemma: On one hand, human beings have been shown to be more effective than algorithms at searching for good solutions of certain real-world problems with high-dimensional or discrete solution spaces; on the other hand, the cost of setting up crowdsourcing environments, the uncertainty in the crowd's domain-specific competence, and the lack of commitment of the crowd, all contribute to the lack of real-world application of design crowdsourcing.
