arXiv:2605.20619v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scalarization is widely used in multi-objective optimization owing to its simplicity and scalability. In many applications, the goal is to generate solutions that represent diverse user preferences, ideally with uniform coverage of the Pareto front (PF). However, uniformly sampling scalarization weights usually induces non-uniform coverage of the PF. We explain this mismatch through a geometric analysis of the scalarization path. As the scalarization weight varies, the corresponding solutions trace the PF with a generally non-uniform traversal sp
This research is part of ongoing efforts to improve multi-objective optimization, a foundational component in many AI and decision-making systems.
Improved multi-objective optimization can lead to more robust, fair, and efficient AI systems by better managing trade-offs and user preferences.
A better understanding of scalarization weight dynamics offers a more uniform and effective exploration of optimal solutions in complex problems.
