As AI agents increasingly mediate consumer transactions, they enable users to circumvent the Cost of Information (the price premium accumulated through demand signal expression) by conducting reconnaissance in isolated sessions before executing purchases through clean sessions at base prices. This research will make an anticipatory contribution by adapting recommendation system methodologies to distinguish between genuine human browsing behaviour and agent-orchestrated information gathering, thereby enabling pricing systems to maintain margin integrity without degrading the user experience for legitimate customers or getting rid of leads generated by LLMs. \end{abstract} - +\maketitle \input{chapters/01-intro} diff --git a/paper/src/preamble.tex b/paper/src/preamble.tex index 09b02bc..24127cf 100644 --- a/paper/src/preamble.tex +++ b/paper/src/preamble.tex @@ -1,35 +1,10 @@ -\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry} -\usepackage{microtype} +% acmart already includes: graphicx, hyperref, booktabs, amsmath, natbib +% Only load packages not included in acmart + \usepackage{csquotes} -\usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{subcaption} -\usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{siunitx} -\usepackage{amsmath} -\usepackage{hyperref} -\usepackage{cleveref} + +% Use biblatex instead of natbib (acmart default) \usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=numeric]{biblatex} \addbibresource{bib/references.bib} -\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue,citecolor=blue,urlcolor=blue} -\numberwithin{figure}{section} -\numberwithin{table}{section} - -% Custom title formatting to match template -\usepackage{titling} -\pretitle{\begin{center}\noindent\rule{\linewidth}{0.4pt}\par\vspace{1em}\LARGE\bfseries} -\posttitle{\par\end{center}\vspace{0.5em}} -\preauthor{\begin{center}\large} -\postauthor{\end{center}} -\predate{\begin{center}\large} -\postdate{\end{center}\vspace{1em}} - -% Redefine abstract environment -\renewenvironment{abstract}{% - \begin{center}% - \textbf{Abstract}% - \end{center}% - \par\vspace{0.5em}% - \small% -}{% - \par\vspace{1em}\noindent\rule{\linewidth}{0.4pt}% -}
