description An artificial neural network (ANN)-based decision support system model, which aggregates intuitionistic fuzzy matrix data using a recently introduced operator, is developed in this work. Several desirable features related to distance measures of aggregation operators and artificial neural networks, including the backpropagation method, are investigated to support the application of the proposed methodologies to multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems using intuitionistic fuzzy information. A novel and enhanced aggregation operator—the Hamming–Intuitionistic Fuzzy Power Generalized Weighted Averaging (H-IFPGWA) operator—is proposed for weight determination in MAGDM situations. Numerical examples are provided, and various ranking techniques are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested strategy. Subsequently, an identical numerical example is solved without bias using the ANN backpropagation approach. Additionally, a novel algorithm is created to address MAGDM problems using the proposed backpropagation model in an unbiased manner. Several defuzzification operators are applied to solve the numerical problems, and the efficacy of the solutions is compared. For MAGDM situations, the novel approach works better than the previous ANN approaches.
