A Hyper-Transformer model for Controllable Pareto Front Learning with Split Feasibility Constraints

Tran Anh Tuan, Nguyen Viet Dung, Tran Ngoc Thang

Controllable Pareto front learning (CPFL) approximates the Pareto solution set and then locates a Pareto optimal solution with respect to a given reference vector. However, decision-maker objectives were limited to a constraint region in practice, so instead of training on the entire decision space, we only trained on the constraint region. Controllable Pareto front learning with Split Feasibility Constraints (SFC) is a way to find the best Pareto solutions to a split multi-objective optimization problem that meets certain constraints. In the previous study, CPFL used a Hypernetwork model comprising multi-layer perceptron (Hyper-MLP) blocks. With the substantial advancement of transformer architecture in deep learning, transformers can outperform other architectures in various tasks. Therefore, we have developed a hyper-transformer (Hyper-Trans) model for CPFL with SFC. We use the theory of universal approximation for the sequence-to-sequence function to show that the Hyper-Trans model makes MED errors smaller in computational experiments than the Hyper-MLP model.
