Summary
A novel approach for eliciting preferences within the framework of Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) by extracting online text is developed to solve strategic conflicts in aviation industry at which the preferences of decision makers (DMs) can be suggested by news release from website. In existing GMCR methodologies, the elicitation of preferences relies on human judgement, affecting the credibility of equilibrium for providing reasonable guidance of actions for DMs. In this work, algorithms are designed to extract online text using natural language processing tools. Preference statements of three types are defined based on the designed algorithms. A decision support system is developed to provide preference statements by typing into keywords related with the options to be taken by DMs. This novel methodology is the first of its kind within the paradigm of GMCR for automatically eliciting preferences, so as to provide credible resolutions to the strategic conflicts in aviation industry.
