arXiv:2607. 14373v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a noise-robust elicit-to-optimize framework that integrates inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) and reinforcement learning (RL) for eliciting agents' risk preferences and optimizing policies under a broad class of risk objectives characterized by distortion riskmetrics.

The paper proposes a Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning framework for portfolio optimization that incorporates ratings from three ESG agencies, addressing the divergence in ESG rating methodologies. It couples this with a Preference Elicitation system using Gaussian Processes, allowing users to infer latent utility functions via pairwise comparisons of portfolios based on Sharpe ratios and ESG scores. Experiments with LLM-generated portfolio managers show that regional background influences preference weights, with European personas prioritizing ESG alignment and Texas personas favoring risk‑adjusted returns.
