Abstract: Combinatorial auctions where agents can bid on bundles of items are desirable because they allow the agents to express complementarity and substitutability between the items. However, expressing one's preferences can require bidding on all bundles. Selective incremental preference elicitation by the auctioneer was recently proposed to address this problem [4], but the idea was not evaluated. In this paper we show, experimentally and theoretically, that automated elicitation provides a drastic... (Update)

...for free, that is, their valuation functions are monotone. However, experimentally, preference elicitation appears to help quite a bit [9]. Nonetheless, the amount of querying can be prohibitively large when the bidders have general (monotone) preferences. An analogous issue...
