Abstract [Objective] This paper proposes an information fusion approach to describe the complex relationship among decision-making experts and improve large group emergency response. [Methods] First, we identified and constructed a network for the relationship of the expert groups with information fusion, complex network analysis, experts’ opinion and trust information. Then, we clustered the group members, calculated expert weights, and reached personalized consensus. [Results] The proposed model visualized relationship among experts, which could be used in large group emergency decision-making. Compared to the traditional approaches, the proposed method reduced the cost of consensus adjustment by about 47% and improved consensus reaching efficiency by 40% while considering experts’ willingness. [Limitations] Experts’ complex relationships can be obtained from other dimensions. Trust needs to be additionally provided by experts. [Conclusions] This study enriches the group relationship analysis and provides innovative ideas for using complex relationships to support large group decision-making in the social network environment.
