Abstract:

The rapid development of artificial intelligence and information technology has propelled collaborative group decision-making to become a key approach for addressing complex systemic decision-making problems in emergency management, engineering demonstration, and other fields. Its characteristics of scalability, social interactivity, and dynamism fundamentally necessitate adaptive capabilities in decision-making models. However, the traditional paradigm of non-consensus sequential identification struggles to meet the demands of efficient group preference aggregation and real-time response in dynamic environments, urgently necessitating the exploration of adaptive intelligent group decision-making methods. Considering that the trust structure and preference information of decision-makers can reveal the latent inter-individual relationships and consensus foundation, and their coupled effects during dynamic interactions are recognized as directly influencing the group decision-making process. Therefore, a reinforcement learning-based intelligent group consensus decision-making model with the “structure-information” coupled network is proposed in this study. First, trust relationships and preference information similarity among decision-makers are quantified to construct the structure network and the information network, and the coupling interaction mechanisms of these two networks are then investigated. Furthermore, an integrated reward function with group consensus level, collaborative incentives, and collaborative costs is designed. To address the discrete characteristics of decision-making behaviors (action space) and the continuous characteristics of decision environments (state space) in group decision-making with the coupled network, the Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithm is introduced to adaptively optimize consensus strategies. Finally, simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed model effectively enhances consensus-reaching efficiency while reducing collaborative costs, and its applicability in differentiated behavioral mechanisms is verified through parameter sensitivity analysis.
