Abstract

Multiobjective optimisation has traditionally focused on problems consisting of 2 or 3 objectives. Real-world problems often require the optimisation of a larger number of objectives. Research has shown that conclusions drawn from experimentations carried out on 2 or 3 objectives cannot be generalized for a higher number of objectives. The curse of dimensionality is a problem that faces decision makers when confronted with many objectives. Preference articulation techniques, and especially progressive preference articulation (PPA) techniques are effective methods for supporting the decision maker. In this paper, some of the most recent and most established PPA techniques are examined, and their utility for tackling many-objective optimisation problems is discussed and compared from the viewpoint of the decision maker.
