1. INTRODUCTION
In 1980, R.H. Sprague proposed the structure of decision support
system based on database and model base. Later, people have put
forward a variety of DSS structure.
In the 1970s, DSS, which is based on data processing and model-
driven, focuses on quantitative analysis. It cannot do anything
about uncertainty and unstructured problems. It lacks human
intelligence, lack of knowledge and expert support. Level is not
high. The knowledge base-based expert system has the ability to
simulate the level of human experts, focusing on qualitative
analysis. Thus, 80 years began in the decision support system
based on the integration of artificial intelligence expert system, the
development of intelligent decision support system. Decision
support system mainly by the database system, model library
system, human-computer interaction system and so on. Expert

system is mainly composed of knowledge base and its
management system and reasoning machine. The traditional
approach is to integrate ES technology into different components
of DSS, or ES as a separate component of DSS.
Intelligent Decision Support System (IDSS) not only takes
advantage of the expert system to solve the problem of qualitative
analysis in the form of knowledge reasoning, but also exerts the
characteristics of solving the quantitative analysis problem with the
model calculation as the core, and fully combines qualitative
analysis and quantitative analysis. , So that the ability to solve
problems and scope has been developed. Therefore, DISS is a
combination of decision support system and artificial intelligence
technology. It introduces the idea of knowledge representation and
knowledge processing into DSS, and its unique research method
and wide development prospect make it appear Become the
hotspot and main development direction of decision support
system.
2. PROBLEMS IN THE RESEARCH
PROGRESS IN INTELLIGENT DECISION
SUPPORT SYSTEM
Decision-making is the conscious and selective action that people
take to achieve a certain purpose. Under certain human, material,
financial, and time constraints, it is the decision-making process
that people make decisions from a variety of alternative strategies
in order to achieve a specific goal for optimal or better results. It is
now increasingly recognized that decision-making is a major
activity of human society, involving all areas of human life, and
socio-economic development plays an important role. The basic
elements of decision-making are decision-makers and decision-
making objects both constitute a contradictory unity - decision-
making system. Decision-makers and decision-making objects
interact with the most general abstraction of information, so
information is a necessary condition for decision-making, but also
the basic factors of decision-making. In addition, decision-making
activities are also inseparable from the decision-making theory and
methods, and the final decision-making results (behavioral
principles, principles of action and methods of action, etc.).
Traditional decision-making depends on the decision-maker's
personal experience, intuitive judgments, and thus decision-making
is considered an art and skills. In the last 40 years, due to the
expansion of the scale of production and the application of
automation technology, the nature and environment of
management have changed drastically. The change of management
character is more complex and the management function is more
complex. The change of environment is more and more closed
between the production departments, and the influence factors of
the social economy status are more and more complicated.
Therefore, management decision-making is not only a large
number, but also a high degree of complexity and difficulty. In this
case, traditional decision-making methods based solely on the art,
insight, reason, and experience of the leader are far from meeting
the demands of increasingly complex management decisions. As a
result, people began to seek a variety of decision support systems
to help them make scientific decisions. Decision support system is
based on information technology as a means to apply the theory
and method of decision science and related disciplines. By
providing background materials, it helps to clarify problems, revise
and perfect models, enumerate possible solutions, and analyze and
compare such decision-making problems. Way, for managers to
make the right decisions to help the human-computer interactive
information system. Intelligent Decision Support System (IDSS) is
a new kind of information system which introduces the idea of
knowledge representation and knowledge processing into artificial
decision support system. In the wave of information revolution
sweeping the world, intelligent decision support system as a
management area of information systems has become a major
aspect of computer management application research hot spots and
the main direction of development. Practice shows that decision
support system can provide more effective decision support only if
it has more knowledge and strong knowledge processing ability.
Two key issues in intelligent decision support systems have long
plagued intelligent decision support systems (IGS), namely how
intelligent decision support systems acquire and accurately relate
to the decision process (eg knowledge about models, Domain
knowledge and model manipulation knowledge), and how to make
the intelligent decision support system have certain adaptability
and evolution ability, make it accumulate the experience in the
process of using constantly and improve oneself's performance.
The introduction of machine learning into an intelligent decision
support system is precisely for this purpose.
3. MACHINE LEARNING
Learning is an important intellectual behavior of mankind, but
what is learning, has long been different opinions. Sociologists,
logicians and psychologists all have different views. According to
Simon, the master of artificial intelligence, learning is the ability of
the system to reinforce or improve itself in repetitive tasks, making
the system perform better or more efficiently than it does the next
time it performs the same task or the same task. Simon gives the
definition of learning itself, to illustrate the important role of
learning. In human society, no matter how deep a person's
knowledge, how much ability, if he is not good at learning, we do
not have too much value him. But if a person has a strong ability to
learn, you cannot be taken lightly. The machine has the ability to
learn, and the situation is completely similar to people.
What is machine learning? There is no uniform definition so far,
and its name can be understood as: Machine learning is the study
of how to use the machine to simulate human learning activities of
a discipline. A slightly more rigorous formulation is that machine
learning is a learning machine that acquires new knowledge and
new skills and identifies existing knowledge. The term "machine"
as used herein refers to a computer, a computer, a seed computer, a
photon computer, a neural computer, or the like.
4. IDSS BASED ON MACHINE LEARNING
The application of decision support system has deepened to the
enterprise management, business, finance, office and daily life and
other fields, for economic development, social progress has made a
significant contribution. With the development of the application,
more and more information appears in the decision-making process,
more and more complex, the original decision support system
simple numerical analysis method cannot meet the needs of
95
decision-makers. In this case, Boncezk and others in the early
eighties proposed intelligent decision system DISS thought, the
artificial intelligence expert system and knowledge processing
methods into decision support, respectively, the DSS numerical
analysis and artificial intelligence symbol processing, which solves
the problems of quantitative and qualitative combination and
unstructured in the system, enlarges the scope of DSS processing,
and improves the decision - making ability. It is generally believed
that the intelligent decision support system is the use of artificial
intelligence technology in decision-making, simulating human's
thinking and decision-making process, taking expert decision-
making process as a model, refining expert decision-making
experience as heuristic rules.
The development of artificial intelligence technology, expert
system technology, database technology and Internet technology
has provided powerful technical support for the intelligent decision
support system since the beginning of the 80s. Since then, the four
representative decision-making technology tools, Which is the data
warehouse, online analysis, data mining, Internet decision support
system), they have an enormous impact on the evolution and
development of intelligent decision support system.
The concept of machine learning is derived from the theories and
methods of artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, taxonomy
and cognitive psychology. The knowledge of solving new
problems is derived from the analysis of data, observation and past
experience. At present, the research and development of many
research areas of artificial intelligence, such as induction learning,
case-based reasoning, fuzzy processing technology, distributed
artificial intelligence and multi-agent technology, and data mining,
provide strong technical support for IDSS. The use of artificial
intelligence, the latest research results, machine learning will be
introduced IDSS is for this purpose; this needs to be achieved
through the following channels:
(1) Through the dialogue with the decision-makers to obtain user
input data description information, according to the information
provided by decision-makers to generate decision-making
examples of different decision-making problems for automatic
identification, and an explicit way that the decision-making based
on inductive learning and case-based reasoning Intelligent
Decision Support System (DSS) is an important part of intelligent
decision support system (DSS). It can automatically obtain the
knowledge of model manipulation for a given domain task, and
guide the decision-maker to solve the problem according to the
existing knowledge in inexperience.
(2) Establish the decision model, provide the method of model
auto-construction, recombination and re-use, establish the adaptive
problem-solving strategy; encapsulate the model's calling method
and the required data, Method and data of three independent.
(3) Establish the knowledge structure that can represent the past
observation experience, support the establishment and application
of domain knowledge. For the repetitive decision-making scene,
establish the example template with the standard solution steps and
use experience to solve the similar decision problem directly.
Based on the existing DSS framework and learning framework,
this paper combines the two, improves the problem-solving system,
adds the learning system, proposes a new-generation IDSS
architecture based on learning, IDSS based on machine learning,
Referred to as ML-IDSS. On the basis of the existing DISS
architecture, on the basis of dialogue system, problem solving
system, data system, model system and knowledge system, the
learning system is added, and the architecture of DISS based on
machine learning is formed.
Although the study of machine learning in the field of intelligent
decision support system has just started, but the machine learning
in intelligent decision support system has a wide range of
applications. As the database system and expert system have had a
great influence on the intelligent decision support system in the
past ten years, machine learning will play an important role in the
research of the new generation of intelligent decision support
system, so that the intelligent decision support system the earth to
broaden the application space.

5. THE APPLICATION STATUS QUO OF

MACHINE LEARNING IN INTELLIGENT
DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM
Machine learning has a wide range of applications in intelligent
decision support systems. Holsapnle and other machine learning as
a new component into the problem-solving subsystem, language
subsystems and knowledge subsystems of the traditional decision-
making support system framework, the decision support system
knowledge base to refine the decision support system to enhance
the adaptation problem Ability. The framework has been applied to
production scheduling problems, and the use of genetic algorithms
to obtain the function of machine learning;
In recent years, there has been great interest in applying
experimental studies based on similar inductive learning to various
business analysis activities. The results show that this method has
great potential for analyzing operational data, but it is difficult to
evaluate the results because the method is nonparametric.
Although the study of machine learning in the field of intelligent
decision support systems has just started, as in the past 10 years,
database systems and expert systems have had a tremendous
impact on intelligent decision support systems, machine learning
will be a new generation of intelligent decision support system Of
the study played a role in adding fuel to the flames. If the research
of intelligent decision support system is focused on the processing
of data and knowledge, then machine learning is to study the
intelligent decision support system at the strategy level. If the
intelligent decision support system has certain learning ability, it
can store the knowledge of problem solving in the appropriate way
under the guidance of domain knowledge for future use, so that the
intelligent decision support system can self-perfect in the
application. This shift from data to knowledge to strategy is the
right direction for intelligent decision support systems to evolve.

6. CONCLUSION
In this paper, we first study and discuss the related technology of
machine learning in intelligent decision support system, discuss the
technical problem and the new intelligent decision support system
based on reinforcement learning and statistical machine learning.
There are still many problems to be solved in the theory, design
and construction of intelligent decision support system based on
machine learning. With the development of decision-making and
computer technology, the study of intelligent decision support
technology based on machine learning will have broad application
prospects, which has important theoretical value and practical
significance.
