Table 5.
Features used by our weighted feature model. The last two columns indicate the direction of the feature that would indicate a stronger preference for X when attributes are positive or negative. The two features that include the phrase “max/min” were treated differently for positive and negative attributes. For positive attributes, these features refer to maximums; for negative attributes, these features refer to minimums.
