Overcoming Challenges of Interpretive Structural Modeling with Large Language Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.02254v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) is a well-known process for multi-criteria decision making. The success of ISM over other methodologies is its ability to model causal relationships, the binary scale of factors, and resulting hierarchical representation. Traditionally, the modeling process is performed by repeated interactions with subject matter experts until consensus is reached. This process is tedious, labor-intense, and most importantly limits the ability of ISM to scale to studies with hundreds of variables. Drawing on existing work
