Abstract

We investigate machine learning based preference elicitation strategies in the context of Interactive Multiple Criteria Decision Making. Specifically, such methods employ popular machine learning techniques such as neural networks among others. We study how to make the training phase efficient in such an approach by employing certain preference representation structures that provide for augmentation of the training set. Such augmentations help accelerate the preference learning phase by making maximum use of the elicited preferences in eventually estimating the decision maker's preference profile based on partial preference information. We study different elicitation strategies in combination with different levels of augmentation and provide some empirical results illustrating their effectiveness.
