An evaluation scheme for assessing the worth of automatically generated design alternatives
TL;DR: A tool called the designer preference modeler (DPM) is introduced that analyzes the designer’s decision making during concept evaluation, and constructs a design preference model to be used for evaluation of automatically generated design alternatives.
