This paper introduces a novel approach called Pareto Front Shape-Agnostic Pareto Set Learning (GPSL), which enables efficient acquisition of the complete Pareto set in multi-objective optimization problems without prior knowledge of the Pareto front shape. Unlike existing methods that rely on mapping preference vectors, GPSL treats learning as a distribution transformation problem, transforming an arbitrary distribution into the Pareto set distribution using a neural network trained with hypervolume maximization. This approach outperforms recent Pareto set learning algorithms on diverse test problems.

This paper helps us learn more about how to find the best possible solutions when we have multiple goals or objectives that need to be balanced. Currently, there are ways to do this, but they rely on knowing what the “optimal” balance is in advance. The new approach described here does away with this requirement and can work with any shape of optimal solution. The idea is to treat learning as a problem of changing one distribution into another, rather than mapping points from one place to another. This allows for more efficient and effective discovery of the best possible solutions.
