Why is it important?
Since nerve nets (although being much larger than typical neural networks) are the basis for human intelligence it appears to be natural to consider neural networks as a suitable tool for supporting human decision making. Focusing on the fact that multiple criteria or objectives are almost always relevant in human decision making we explore the suitability of neural networks for this particular type of problem.
Perspectives
Today, there is a growing desire for decision support systems and, in particular, systems which automate the corresponding processes, or at least, systems which efficiently guide a user through the decision making process. For that reason, we expect that utilization of neural networks or related approaches (e.g., support vector machines) will be used more frequently in practical applications in the future.
