Evolving Evolutionary Algorithms with Patterns

A new model for evolving evolutionary algorithms (EAs) is proposed in this paper. The model is based on the multi expression programming (MEP) technique. Each MEP chromosome encodes an evolutionary pattern which is repeatedly used for generating the individuals of a new generation. The evolved pattern is embedded into a standard evolutionary scheme which is used for solving a particular problem. Several evolutionary algorithms for function optimization are evolved by using the considered model. The evolved evolutionary algorithms are compared with a human-designed genetic algorithm. Numerical experiments show that the evolved evolutionary algorithms can compete with standard approaches for several well-known benchmarking problems.     

Evolving the Topology and the Weights of Neural Networks Using a Dual Representation

Evolutionary computation is a class of global search techniques based on the learning process of a population of potential solutions to a given problem, that has been successfully applied to a variety of problems. In this paper a new approach to the construction of neural networks based on evolutionary computation is presented. A linear chromosome combined to a graph representation of the network are used by genetic operators, which allow the evolution of the architecture and the weights simultaneously without the need of local weight optimization. This paper describes the approach, the operators and reports results of the application of this technique to several binary classification problems.

A block based estimation of distribution algorithm using bivariate model for scheduling problems

Recently, estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) have gradually attracted a lot of attention and have emerged as a prominent alternative to traditional evolutionary algorithms. In this paper, a block-based EDA using bivariate model is developed to solve combinatorial problems. Instead of generating a set of chromosomes, our approach generates a set of promising blocks using bivariate model and these blocks are reserved in an archive for future use. These blocks will be updated every other k generation. Then, two rules, i.e., AC1 and AC2, are developed to generate a new chromosome by combining the set of selected blocks and rest of genes. This block based approach is very efficient and effective when compared with the traditional EDAs. According to the experimental results, the block based EDA outperforms EDA, GA, ACO and other evolutionary approaches in solving benchmark permutation problems. The block based approach is a new concept and has a very promising result for other applications.     

A novel evolutionary approach for optimizing content-based image indexing algorithms.

Optimization of content-based image indexing and retrieval (CBIR) algorithms is a complicated and time-consuming task since each time a parameter of the indexing algorithm is changed, all images in the database should be indexed again. In this paper, a novel evolutionary method called evolutionary group algorithm (EGA) is proposed for complicated time-consuming optimization problems such as finding optimal parameters of content-based image indexing algorithms. In the new evolutionary algorithm, the image database is partitioned into several smaller subsets, and each subset is used by an updating process as training patterns for each chromosome during evolution. This is in contrast to genetic algorithms that use the whole database as training patterns for evolution. Additionally, for each chromosome, a parameter called age is defined that implies the progress of the updating process. Similarly, the genes of the proposed chromosomes are divided into two categories: evolutionary genes that participate to evolution and history genes that save previous states of the updating process. Furthermore, a new fitness function is defined which evaluates the fitness of the chromosomes of the current population with different ages in each generation. We used EGA to optimize the quantization thresholds of the wavelet-correlogram algorithm for CBIR. The optimal quantization thresholds computed by EGA improved significantly all the evaluation measures including average precision, average weighted precision, average recall, and average rank for the wavelet-correlogram method.     

A SAX-GA approach to evolve investment strategies on financial markets based on pattern discovery techniques

This paper presents a new computational finance approach, combining a Symbolic Aggregate approXimation (SAX) technique together with an optimization kernel based on genetic algorithms (GA). The SAX representation is used to describe the financial time series, so that, relevant patterns can be efficiently identified. The evolutionary optimization kernel is here used to identify the most relevant patterns and generate investment rules. The proposed approach was tested using real data from S&P500. The achieved results show that the proposed approach outperforms both B&H and other state-of-the-art solutions.     

A block-based evolutionary algorithm for flow-shop scheduling problem

Combinatorial problems like flow shop scheduling, travel salesman problem etc. get complicated and are difficult to solve when the problem size increases. To overcome this problem, we present a block-based evolutionary algorithm (BBEA) which will conduct evolutionary operations on a set of blocks instead of genes. BBEA includes the block mining and block recombination approaches. A block mining algorithm is developed to decompose a chromosome into a set of blocks and rest of genes. The block is with a fixed length and can be treated as a building block in forming a new chromosome later on. To guide the block mining process, a gene linkage probability matrix is defined that shows the linkage strength among genes. Therefore the blocks can be further evolved during the evolutionary processes using this matrix. In the block recombination approach, the blocks along with the rest of genes are recombined to form a new chromosome. This new evolutionary approach of BBEA is tested on a set of discrete problems. Experimental results show that BBEA is very competitive when compared with traditional GA, EA or ACGA and HGIA approaches and it can largely improve the performance of evolutionary algorithm and save a fair amount of computational times simultaneously.
