Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is susceptible to premature convergence when the swarm collapses around the global best, particularly on multimodal landscapes in higher dimensions. We propose Divergence-guided PSO (DPSO), which augments…

In this paper we enhance Generalized Self-Adapting Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (GAPSO), initially introduced at the Parallel Problem Solving from Nature 2018 conference, and to investigate its properties. The research on GAPSO is…

A lately created metaheuristic algorithm called Child Drawing Development Optimization (CDDO) has proven to be effective in a number of benchmark tests. A Binary Child Drawing Development Optimization (BCDDO) is suggested for choosing the…

The advantages of evolutionary algorithms with respect to traditional methods have been greatly discussed in the literature. While particle swarm optimizers share such advantages, they outperform evolutionary algorithms in that they require…

The performance of policy gradient methods is sensitive to hyperparameter settings that must be tuned for any new application. Widely used grid search methods for tuning hyperparameters are sample inefficient and computationally expensive.…

We consider function optimization as a sequential decision making problem under budget constraint. This constraint limits the number of objective function evaluations allowed during the optimization. We consider an algorithm inspired by a…

This article considers the parallel machine scheduling problem with step-deteriorating jobs and sequence-dependent setup times. The objective is to minimize the total tardiness by determining the allocation and sequence of jobs on identical…

Numerical optimization techniques are widely used in a broad area of science and technology, from finding the minimal energy of systems in Physics or Chemistry to finding optimal routes in logistics or optimal strategies for high speed…

Global optimisation problems in high-dimensional and infinite dimensional spaces arise in various real-world applications such as engineering, economics, geophysics, biology, machine learning, optimal control, etc. Among stochastic…

Modelling in biology must adapt to increasingly complex and massive data. The efficiency of the inference algorithms used to estimate model parameters is therefore questioned. Many of these are based on stochastic optimization processes…

Making a simple model by choosing a limited number of features with the purpose of reducing the computational complexity of the algorithms involved in classification is one of the main issues in machine learning and data mining. The aim of…

This paper proposes a probabilistic motion prediction method for long motions. The motion is predicted so that it accomplishes a task from the initial state observed in the given image. While our method evaluates the task achievability by…

With the advent of Genome Sequencing, the field of Personalized Medicine has been revolutionized. From drug testing and studying diseases and mutations to clan genomics, studying the genome is required. However, genome sequence assembly is…

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is attracting an ever-growing attention and more than ever it has found many application areas for many challenging optimization problems. It is, however, a known fact that PSO has a severe drawback in the…

This chapter proposes using the Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm for finetuning a Deep Neural Network to recognize different underwater sonar datasets. Same as other models evolved by metaheuristic algorithms, premature convergence,…

Multimodal optimization requires finding many optima rather than merely keeping a diverse population. Yet most niching-based evolutionary algorithms rely on distances or density estimators without explicitly recovering the underlying…

For many applications of reinforcement learning it can be more convenient to specify both a reward function and constraints, rather than trying to design behavior through the reward function. For example, systems that physically interact…

Population-based metaheuristic algorithms are powerful tools in the design of neutron scattering instruments and the use of these types of algorithms for this purpose is becoming more and more commonplace. Today there exists a wide range of…

First Order Bayesian Optimization (FOBO) is a sample efficient sequential approach to find the global maxima of an expensive-to-evaluate black-box objective function by suitably querying for the function and its gradient evaluations. Such…

Task scheduling is a critical research challenge in cloud computing, a transformative technology widely adopted across industries. Although numerous scheduling solutions exist, they predominantly optimize singular or limited metrics such as…
