Multi-Objective Decision Making

Many real-world decision problems have multiple objectives. For example, when choosing a medical treatment plan, we want to maximize efficacy of the treatment while minimizing side effects. These objectives typically conflict, e.g., we can increase the efficacy of the treatment, but cause more severe side effects. In this book, we outline how to deal with multiple objectives in decision-theoretic planning and reinforcement learning algorithms. ISBN 9781627059602, 129 pages.
