Computing diverse sets of high quality solutions for a given optimization problem has become an important topic in recent years. In this paper, we introduce a coevolutionary Pareto Diversity Optimization approach which builds on the success…
Two important characteristics of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are distribution and convergency. As a classic multi-objective genetic algorithm, NSGA-II is widely used in multi-objective optimization fields. However, in NSGA-II,…
When solving constrained multi-objective optimization problems, an important issue is how to balance convergence, diversity and feasibility simultaneously. To address this issue, this paper proposes a parameter-free constraint handling…
Most multi-objective optimisation algorithms maintain an archive explicitly or implicitly during their search. Such an archive can be solely used to store high-quality solutions presented to the decision maker, but in many cases may…
The feature subset selection problem aims at selecting the relevant subset of features to improve the performance of a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm on training data. Some features in data can be inherently noisy, costly to compute,…
Feature selection plays a pivotal role in the data preprocessing and model-building pipeline, significantly enhancing model performance, interpretability, and resource efficiency across diverse domains. In population-based optimization…
Differentially private selection mechanisms are fundamental building blocks for privacy-preserving data analysis. While numerous mechanisms exist for single-objective selection, many real-world applications require optimizing multiple…
Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA) has established itself as a benchmark algorithm for Multiobjective Optimization. The determination of pareto-optimal solutions is the key to its success. However the basic algorithm suffers…
Query plans are compared according to multiple cost metrics in multi-objective query optimization. The goal is to find the set of Pareto plans realizing optimal cost tradeoffs for a given query. So far, only algorithms with exponential…
In the area of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs), there is a trend of using an archive to store non-dominated solutions generated during the search. This is because 1) MOEAs may easily end up with the final population…
Machine learning classifiers are widely used to make decisions with a major impact on people's lives (e.g. accepting or denying a loan, hiring decisions, etc). In such applications,the learned classifiers need to be both accurate and fair…
The performance of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms deteriorates appreciably in solving many-objective optimization problems which encompass more than three objectives. One of the known rationales is the loss of selection pressure…
It is shown that the use of an external archive, purely for storage purposes, can bring substantial benefits in multi-objective optimization. A new scheme for archive management for the above purpose is described. The new scheme is combined…
Hybridisation of the multi-objective optimisation algorithm NSGA-II and local search is proposed for water distribution system design. Results obtained with the proposed algorithm are presented for four medium-size water networks taken from…
Elitism, which constructs the new population by preserving best solutions out of the old population and newly-generated solutions, has been a default way for population update since its introduction into multi-objective evolutionary…
The compact genetic algorithm is an Estimation of Distribution Algorithm for binary optimisation problems. Unlike the standard Genetic Algorithm, no cross-over or mutation is involved. Instead, the compact Genetic Algorithm uses a virtual…
Recent theoretical works have shown that the NSGA-II efficiently computes the full Pareto front when the population size is large enough. In this work, we study how well it approximates the Pareto front when the population size is smaller.…
Multi-objective feature selection is one of the most significant issues in the field of pattern recognition. It is challenging because it maximizes the classification performance and, at the same time, minimizes the number of selected…
Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are among the most widely and successfully applied optimizers for multi-objective problems. However, to store many optimal trade-offs (the Pareto optima) at once, MOEAs are typically run with…
Existing studies on dynamic multi-objective optimization focus on problems with time-dependent objective functions, while the ones with a changing number of objectives have rarely been considered in the literature. Instead of changing the…
