Bayesian preference elicitation for decision support in multiobjective optimization

2025-07-22 · Felix Huber, Sebastian Rojas Gonzalez, Raul Astudillo arxiv

We present a novel approach to help decision-makers efficiently identify preferred solutions from the Pareto set of a multi-objective optimization problem. Our method uses a Bayesian model to estimate the decision-maker's utility function based on pairwise comparisons. Aided by this model, a principled elicitation strategy selects queries interactively to balance exploration and exploitation, guiding the discovery of high-utility solutions. The approach is flexible: it can be used interactively or a posteriori after estimating the Pareto front through standard multi-objective optimization techniques. Additionally, at the end of the elicitation phase, it generates a reduced menu of high-quality solutions, simplifying the decision-making process. Through experiments on test problems with up to nine objectives, our method demonstrates superior performance in finding high-utility solutions with a small number of queries. We also provide an open-source implementation of our method to support its adoption by the broader community.

Bayesian Preference Elicitation: Human-In-The-Loop Optimization of An Active Prosthesis

2026-02-26 · Sophia Taddei, Wouter Koppen, Eligia Alfio, Stefano Nuzzo 외 arxiv

Tuning active prostheses for people with amputation is time-consuming and relies on metrics that may not fully reflect user needs. We introduce a human-in-the-loop optimization (HILO) approach that leverages direct user …

2026-04-20 · Akriti Jain, Anish Mulay, Divyansh Verma, Aishani Pandey 외 arxiv

Decision-making is a cognitively intensive task that requires synthesizing relevant information from multiple unstructured sources, weighing competing factors, and incorporating subjective user preferences. Existing meth…

From Preference-Based to Multiobjective Sequential Decision-Making

2017-01-03 · Paul Weng

In this paper, we present a link between preference-based and multiobjective sequential decision-making. While transforming a multiobjective problem to a preference-based one is quite natural, the other direction is a bi…
