In Decision Support System (DSS), we rank items based on predetermined weighted criteria. For example, we want to rank prospective programmers based on their working experience, required salary, set of skills, age, etc. We rank using weights for each criterion that we have previously defined. The simplest method is using Simple Additive Weighting (SAW).
As far as I know, DSS is included in knowledge-based AI (it's a mandatory subject in AI specialization in most universities in my country).
My question:
With the development of AI/ML/DL today, is there another modern approach that can be used to solve similar problems?
At first, I thought it's similar with Content-Based Recommender System, but it looks different as we don't have "user" in DSS.
