• Abstract: Simultaneously considering multiple objectives in machine learning has been a popular approach for several decades, with various benefits for multi-task learning, the consideration of secondary goals such as sparsity, or multicriteria hyperparameter tuning. However - as multi-objective optimization is significantly more costly than single-objective optimization - the recent focus on deep learning architectures poses considerable additional challenges due to the very large number of parameters, strong nonlinearities and stochasticity. This survey covers recent advancements in the area of multi-objective deep learning. We introduce a taxonomy of existing methods - based on the type of training algorithm as well as the decision maker's needs - before listing recent advancements, and also successful applications. All three main learning paradigms supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning are covered, and we also address the recently very popular area of generative modeling.

  Model-based reinforcement learning creates an explicit model of the environment dynamics to reduce the need for environment samples.

We propose a taxonomy based on three approaches: using explicit planning on given transitions, using explicit planning on learned transitions, and end-to-end learning of both planning and transitions.
