Multi-criteria decision making is a sub discipline of operations research that explicitly considers multiple criteria in decision making problems. Several methods have been proposed for solving multicriteria decision making problems (MCDM). The weighted sum method (WSM) is the best known and simplest multi-criteria decision making method for evaluating a number of alternatives in terms of a num...

This work defines a procedure to assess the socio-economic and environmental sustainability of agricultural systems with a particular attention to conventional and organic farming. Firstly, a mathematical programming model calculates the different multi-dimensional outcomes of Italian farms depending on various levels of prices affecting organic products. Those outcomes are the input data for a...

The utilitarian solution criterion, which has been extensively studied in multi-agent decision making under uncertainty, aims to maximize the sum of individual utilities. However, as the utilitarian solution often discriminates against some agents, it is not desirable for many practical applications where agents have their own interests and fairness is expected. To address this issue, this pape...

We present a simple yet elegant solution to train a single joint model on multi-criteria corpora for Chinese Word Segmentation (CWS). Our novel design requires no private layers in model architecture, instead, introduces two artificial tokens at the beginning and ending of input sentence to specify the required target criteria. The rest of the model including Long ShortTerm Memory (LSTM) layer ...

In most of the multi–criteria decision–analysis (MCDA) problems in which the Choquet integral is used as aggregation function, the coefficients of Choquet integral (capacity) are not known in advance. Actually, they could be calculated by capacity definition methods. In these methods, the preference information of decision maker (DM) is used to constitute a possible solution space. ...

We extend the open-source modelling language FlopC++, which is part of the COIN-OR project, to support multi-stage stochastic programs with recourse. We connect the stochastic version of FlopC++ to the existing COIN class stochastic modelling interface (SMI) to provide a direct interface to specialized solution algorithms. The new stochastic version of FlopC++ can be used to specify scenariobas...

We study the problem of finding all Pareto-optimal solutions in a multi-criteria setting of the shortest path problem in time-dependent graphs. This has important applications in timetable information systems for train schedules. We present a new prototype to solve this problem in a fully realistic scenario based on a multi-criteria generalization of Dijkstra’s algorithm. As optimization criter...
