When is it acceptable to break the rules? Knowledge representation of moral judgements based on empirical data by Awad, Edmond, Levine, Sydney, Loreggia, Andrea, Mattei, Nicholas, Rahwan, Iyad, Rossi, Francesca, Talamadupula, Kartik, Tenenbaum, Joshua, Kleiman-Weiner, Max

“…We then detail the design, implementation, and results of a study of human participants who judge whether it is acceptable to break a well-established rule: <jats:italic>no cutting in line</jats:italic>. We then develop an instance of our model and compare its performance to that of standard machine learning approaches on the task of predicting the behavior of human participants in the study, showing that our preference-based approach more accurately captures the judgments of human decision-makers. …”
