Learning the parameters of a multiple criteria sorting method from large sets of assignment examples

TLDR
This study considers a sorting method in which categories are defined by profiles separating consecutive categories, that corresponds to a simplified version of ELECTRE Tri, and considers a learning procedure that relies on a set of known assignment examples to find parameters compatible with these assignments.

Learning criteria weights of an optimistic Electre Tri sorting rule

TL;DR: This work proposes algorithms for eliciting the criteria weights and majority threshold in a version of the optimistic E lectre T ri rule, which raises additional difficulties w.r.t. the pessimistic rule, and describes an algorithm that computes robust alternatives assignments from assignment examples by solving mixed integer programs.

On the relations between ELECTRE TRI-B and ELECTRE TRI-C and on a new variant of ELECTRE TRI-B

TL;DR: It is shown that a variant of ELECTRE TRI that uses limiting profiles may have some advantages over the original method, and if an ordered partition obtained with one method can be obtained with the other method, after a suitable redefinition of the profiles.

Learning monotone preferences using a majority rule sorting model

TL;DR: This work considers the problem of learning a function assigning objects into ordered categories and describes an algorithm designed for learning such a model on the basis of assignment examples, called MR-Sort, which competes with the other two methods, and leads to a model that is interpretable.

Inferring an ELECTRE TRI Model from Assignment Examples

TL;DR: An interactive approach that infers the parameters of an ELECTRE TRI model from assignment examples is proposed that lies in the possibility given to the DM to revise his/her assignment examples and/or to give additional information before the optimization phase restarts.

A user-oriented implementation of the ELECTRE-TRI method integrating preference elicitation support

TL;DR: This paper presents a new implementation of an existing method called ELECTRE TRI, which integrates specific functionalities supporting the decision maker (DM) in the preference elicitation process and aims at reducing the cognitive effort required from the DM in the phase of calibration of the preference model.
