Abstract
Systems and methods for generating predicted preferences are disclosed. The method includes implementing, with a computing device having a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable memory, a conjoint architecture comprising: an autoencoder trained to transform input data including one or more choices and one or more features into a latent representation, and a choice classification network trained to predict one or more predicted preferences from the latent representation extracted by the autoencoder. The method further includes outputting, from the choice classification network, the one or more predicted preferences.
