Abstract
This paper examines the ambiguity of subjective judgments, which are represented by a system of pairwise preferences over a given set of alternatives. Such preferences are valued with respect to a set of reasons, in favor and against the alternatives, establishing a complete judgment, or viewpoint, on how to solve the decision problem. Hence, viewpoints entail particular decisions coming from the system of preferences, where the preference-based reasoning of a given viewpoint holds according to its soundness or coherence. Here we explore such a coherence under the frame of ambiguity measures, aiming at learning viewpoints with highest preference-score and minimum ambiguity. We extend existing measures of ambiguity into a multi-dimensional fuzzy setting, and suggest some future lines of research towards measuring the coherence or (ir)rationality of viewpoints, exploring the use of information measures in the context of preference learning.
