Multi-objective genetic local search algorithm using Kohonen’s neural map

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are population based global search methods that can escape from local optima traps and find the global optima regions. However, near the optimum set their intensification process is often inaccurate. This is because the search strategy of GAs is completely probabilistic. With a random search near the optimum sets, there is a small probability to improve current solution. Another drawback of the GAs is genetic drift. The GAs search process is a black box process and no one knows that which region is being searched by the algorithm and it is possible that GAs search only a small region in the feasible space. On the other hand, GAs usually do not use the existing information about the optimality regions in past iterations.In this paper, a new method called SOM-Based Multi-Objective GA (SBMOGA) is proposed to improve the genetic diversity. In SBMOGA, a grid of neurons use the concept of learning rule of Self-Organizing Map (SOM) supporting by Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) learn from genetic algorithm improving both local and global search. SOM is a neural network which is capable of learning and can improve the efficiency of data processing algorithms. The VNS algorithm is developed to enhance the local search efficiency in the Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). The SOM uses a multi-objective learning rule based-on Pareto dominance to train its neurons. The neurons gradually move toward better fitness areas in some trajectories in feasible space. The knowledge of optimum front in past generations is saved in form of trajectories. The final state of the neurons determines a set of new solutions that can be regarded as the probability density distribution function of the high fitness areas in the multi-objective space. The new set of solutions potentially can improve the GAs overall efficiency. In the last section of this paper, the applicability of the proposed algorithm is examined in developing optimal policies for a real world multi-objective multi-reservoir system which is a non-linear, non-convex, multi-objective optimization problem.     

Adaptive directed mutation for real-coded genetic algorithms

Adaptive directed mutation (ADM) operator, a novel, simple, and efficient real-coded genetic algorithm (RCGA) is proposed and then employed to solve complex function optimization problems. The suggested ADM operator enhances the abilities of GAs in searching global optima as well as in speeding convergence by integrating the local directional search strategy and the adaptive random search strategies. Using 41 benchmark global optimization test functions, the performance of the new algorithm is compared with five conventional mutation operators and then with six genetic algorithms (GAs) reported in literature. Results indicate that the proposed ADM-RCGA is fast, accurate, and reliable, and outperforms all the other GAs considered in the present study.

A new gradient based particle swarm optimization algorithm for accurate computation of global minimum

Stochastic optimization algorithms like genetic algorithms (GAs) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms perform global optimization but waste computational effort by doing a random search. On the other hand deterministic algorithms like gradient descent converge rapidly but may get stuck in local minima of multimodal functions. Thus, an approach that combines the strengths of stochastic and deterministic optimization schemes but avoids their weaknesses is of interest. This paper presents a new hybrid optimization algorithm that combines the PSO algorithm and gradient-based local search algorithms to achieve faster convergence and better accuracy of final solution without getting trapped in local minima. In the new gradient-based PSO algorithm, referred to as the GPSO algorithm, the PSO algorithm is used for global exploration and a gradient based scheme is used for accurate local exploration. The global minimum is located by a process of finding progressively better local minima. The GPSO algorithm avoids the use of inertial weights and constriction coefficients which can cause the PSO algorithm to converge to a local minimum if improperly chosen. The De Jong test suite of benchmark optimization problems was used to test the new algorithm and facilitate comparison with the classical PSO algorithm. The GPSO algorithm is compared to four different refinements of the PSO algorithm from the literature and shown to converge faster to a significantly more accurate final solution for a variety of benchmark test functions.     

Parallel hybrid method for SAT that couples genetic algorithms andlocal search

A parallel hybrid method for solving the satisfiability (SAT) problem that combines cellular genetic algorithms (GAs) and the random walk SAT (WSAT) strategy of greedy SAT (GSAT) is presented. The method, called cellular genetic WSAT (CGWSAT), uses a cellular GA to perform a global search from a random initial population of candidate solutions and a local selective generation of new strings. The global search is then specialized in local search by adopting the WSAT strategy. A main characteristic of the method is that it indirectly provides a parallel implementation of WSAT when the probability of crossover is set to zero. CGWSAT has been implemented on a Meiko CS-2 parallel machine using a 2D cellular automaton as a parallel computation model. The algorithm has been tested on randomly generated problems and some classes of problems from the DIMACS and SATLIB test set     

一种基于遗传算法的双T-Snake模型图像分割方法

Snake的初衷是为了进行图像分割，但它对初始位置过于敏感，且不能处理拓扑结构改变的问题。初始位置的敏感性可以用遗传算法来克服，因为它是一种全局优化算法，且有良好的数值稳定性。为了更精确地进行图像分割，本文提出了一种基于遗传算法的双T—Snake模型图像分割方法，它将双T—Snake模型解作为遗传算法的搜索空间，这既继承了T—Snake模型的拓扑改变能力，又加快了遗传算法的收敛速度。由于它利用遗传算法的全局优化性能，克服了Snake轮廓局部极小化的缺陷，从而可得到对目标的更精确的分割。将其应用于左心室MRI图像的分割，取得了较好的效果。     

A study on hybrid random signal-based learning and its applications

In this paper, we propose three effective hybrid random signal-based learning (RSL) algorithms which are a combination of RSL with simulated annealing (SA) and a genetic algorithm (GA) to obtain a global solution that can be used in combinatorial optimization problems. GAs are becoming more popular because of their relative simplicity and robustness. GAs are global search techniques for non-linear optimization, but they are not good at fine-tuning solutions. RSL is similar to the reinforcement learning of neural networks using random signals. It can find an accurate solution in local search space. However, it is poor at hill-climbing, whereas simulated annealing has the ability to perform probabilistic hill-climbing. Therefore, combining them yields effective hybrid algorithms, i.e. hybrid RSL algorithms, with the merits of both. To check the generalization ability of the proposed algorithms, the optimizations of several benchmark test functions are considered, while the optimization of a fuzzy logic controller for the inverted pendulum is detailed to show the applicability of the proposed algorithms to fuzzy control.     

A novel parallel hybrid intelligence optimization algorithm for a function approximation problem

A novel parallel hybrid intelligence optimization algorithm (PHIOA) is proposed based on combining the merits of particle swarm optimization with genetic algorithms. The PHIOA uses the ideas of selection, crossover and mutation from genetic algorithms (GAs) and the update velocity and situation of particle swarm optimization (PSO) under the independence of PSO and GAs. The proposed algorithm divides the individuals into two equation groups according to their fitness values. The subgroup of the top fitness values is evolved by GAs and the other subgroup is evolved by the PSO algorithm. The optimal number is selected as a global optimum at every circulation which shows better results than both PSO and GAs, then improves the overall performance of the algorithm. The PHIOA is used to optimize the structure and parameters of the fuzzy neural network. Finally, the experimental results have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed PHIOA to search the global optimal solution. The PHIOA can improve the error accuracy while speeding up the convergence process, and effectively avoid the premature convergence to compare with the existing methods.     

Deriving operating policies for multi-objective reservoir systems: Application of Self-Learning Genetic Algorithm

Optimal multi-reservoir operation is a multi-objective problem in nature and some of its objectives are nonlinear, non-convex and multi-modal functions. There are a few areas of application of mathematical optimization models with a richer or more diverse history than in reservoir systems optimization. However, actual implementations remain limited or have not been sustained.Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are probabilistic search algorithms that are capable of solving a variety of complex multi-objective optimization problems, which may include non-linear, non-convex and multi-modal functions. GA is a population based global search method that can escape from local optima traps and find the global optima. However GAs have some drawbacks such as inaccuracy of the intensification process near the optimal set.In this paper, a new model called Self-Learning Genetic Algorithm (SLGA) is presented, which is an improved version of the SOM-Based Multi-Objective GA (SBMOGA) presented by Hakimi-Asiabar et al. (2009) [45]. The proposed model is used to derive optimal operating policies for a three-objective multi-reservoir system. SLGA is a new hybrid algorithm which uses Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) algorithms to add a memory to the GA and improve its local search accuracy. SOM is a neural network which is capable of learning and can improve the efficiency of data processing algorithms. The VNS algorithm can enhance the local search efficiency in the Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs).To evaluate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed methodology, it is used for developing optimal operating policies for the Karoon-Dez multi-reservoir system, which includes one-fifth of Iran's surface water resources. The objective functions of the problem are supplying water demands, generating hydropower energy and controlling water quality in downstream river.     

Simulation and evolutionary optimization of electron-beam lithography with genetic and simplex-downhill algorithms

Genetic and simplex-downhill (SD) algorithms were used for the optimization of the electron-beam lithography (EBL) step in the fabrication of microwave electronic circuits. The definition of submicrometer structures involves complex exposure patterns that are cumbersome to determine experimentally and very difficult to optimize with linear search algorithms due to the high dimensionality of the search space. An SD algorithm was first used to solve the optimization problem. The large number of parameters and the complex topology of the search space proved too difficult for this algorithm, which could not yield satisfactory patterns. A hybrid approach using genetic algorithms (GAs) for global search, and an SD algorithm for further local optimization, was unable to drastically improve the structures optimized with GAs alone. A carefully studied fitness function was used. It contains mechanisms for reduced dependence on process tolerances. Several methods were studied for the selection, crossover, mutation, and reinsertion operators. The GA was used to predict scanning patterns for 100-nm T-gates and gate profiles with asymmetric recess and the structures were fabricated successfully. The simulation and optimization tool can help shorten response times to alterations of the EBL process by suppressing time-consuming experimental trial-and-error steps.
