contents The problem we consider is a multi-objective optimization problem, in which the goal is to find an optimal value of a vector function representing various criteria. The aim of this work is to develop an algorithm which utilizes the trust region framework with probabilistic model functions, able to cope with noisy problems, using inaccurate functions and gradients. The key novelty is approximation of each function in the multiobjective problem with probabilistically fully linear model which yields the composite model defined by max operator as a satisfactory approximation for the nonsmooth scalarized objective function. We prove the almost sure convergence of the proposed algorithm to a Pareto critical point. Numerical results demonstrate effectiveness of the probabilistic trust region by comparing it to competitive stochastic multi-objective solvers. The application in supervised machine learning is showcased by training non discriminatory Logistic Regression models on different size data groups. Additionally, we use several test examples with irregularly shaped fronts to exhibit the efficiency of the algorithm
