Abstract

Evolutionary multiobjective optimization usually attempts to find a good approximation to the complete Pareto optimal front. However, often the user has at least a vague idea about what kind of solutions might be preferred. If such information is available, it can be used to focus the search, yielding a more fine-grained approximation of the most relevant (from a user's perspective) areas of the Pareto optimal front and/or reducing computation time. This chapter surveys the literature on incorporating partial user preference information in evolutionary multiobjective optimization.
