Many decision-making problems feature multiple objectives. In such problems, it is not always possible to know the preferences of a decision-maker for different objectives. However, it is often possible to observe the behavior of decision-makers. In multi-objective decision-making, preference inference is the process of inferring the preferences of a decision-maker for different objectives. This research proposes a Dynamic Weight-based Preference Inference (DWPI) algorithm that can infer the preferences of agents acting in multi-objective decision-making problems, based on observed behavior trajectories in the environment. The proposed method is evaluated on three multi-objective Markov decision processes: Deep Sea Treasure, Traffic, and Item Gathering. The performance of the proposed DWPI approach is compared to two existing preference inference methods from the literature, and empirical results demonstrate significant improvements compared to the baseline algorithms, in terms of both time requirements and accuracy of the inferred preferences. The Dynamic Weight-based Preference Inference algorithm also maintains its performance when inferring preferences for sub-optimal behavior demonstrations. In addition to its impressive performance, the Dynamic Weight-based Preference Inference algorithm does not require any interactions during training with the agent whose preferences are inferred, all that is required is a trajectory of observed behavior.
