Many decision-making problems feature multiple objectives where it is not always possible to know the preferences of a human or agent decision-maker for different objectives. However, demonstrated behaviors from the decision-maker are often…
It is often challenging for a user to articulate their preferences accurately in multi-objective decision-making problems. Demonstration-based preference inference (DemoPI) is a promising approach to mitigate this problem. Understanding the…
Humans often juggle multiple, sometimes conflicting objectives and shift their priorities as circumstances change, rather than following a fixed objective function. In contrast, most computational decision-making and multi-objective RL…
