Before revision: We propose a notion of algorithmic stability for scenarios where cardinal preferencesare elicited. Informally, our definition captures the idea that an agent should not experience a large change in their utility as long as they make " small" or " innocuous" mistakes while reporting their preferences .
After revision: Many allocation problems in multiagent systems rely on agents specifying cardinal preferences. However, allocation mechanisms can be sensitive to small perturbations in cardinal preferences, thus causing agents who make `` small" or " innocuous" mistakes while reporting their preferences .
