• Abstract: Purpose: Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) has become increasingly essential for decision-making in complex environments. In response to this need, the pyDecision library, implemented in Python and available at https://bit.ly/3tLFGtH, has been developed to provide a comprehensive and accessible collection of MCDA methods. Methods: The pyDecision offers 70 MCDA methods, including AHP, TOPSIS, and the PROMETHEE and ELECTRE families. Beyond offering a vast range of techniques, the library provides visualization tools for more intuitive results interpretation. In addition to these features, pyDecision has integrated ChatGPT, an advanced Large Language Model, where decision-makers can use ChatGPT to discuss and compare the outcomes of different methods, providing a more interactive and intuitive understanding of the solutions. Findings: Large Language Models are undeniably potent but can sometimes be a double-edged sword. Its answers may be misleading without rigorous verification of its outputs, especially for researchers lacking deep domain expertise. It's imperative to approach its insights with a discerning eye and a solid foundation in the relevant field. Originality: With the integration of MCDA methods and ChatGPT, pyDecision is a significant contribution to the scientific community, as it is an invaluable resource for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers navigating complex decision-making problems and seeking the most appropriate solutions based on MCDA methods.

  Reinforcement Learning (RL) plays a crucial role in aligning large language models with human preferences and improving their ability to perform complex tasks. We introduce Direct Q-function Optimization (DQO), which formulates the response generation process as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) and utilizes the soft actor-critic (SAC) framework to optimize a Q-function directly parameterized by the language model. Experimental results on two math problem-solving datasets, GSM8K and MATH, demonstrate that DQO outperforms previous methods, establishing it as a promising offline reinforcement learning approach for aligning language models.
