A novel population initialization method for accelerating evolutionary algorithms
Population initialization is a crucial task in evolutionary algorithms because it can affect the convergence speed and also the quality of the final solution. If no information about the solution is available, then random initialization is the most commonly used method to generate candidate solutions (initial population). This paper proposes a novel initialization approach which employs opposit...
متن کاملA population initialization method for evolutionary algorithms based on clustering and Cauchy deviates
The initial population of an evolutionary algorithm is an important factor which affects the convergence rate and ultimately its ability to find high quality solutions or satisfactory solutions for that matter. If composed of good individuals it may bias the search towards promising regions of the search space right from the beginning. Although, if no knowledge about the problem at hand is avai...
متن کاملAccelerating Evolutionary Algorithms Using Fitness Function Models
An optimization procedure using empirical models as an approximation of expensive functions is presented. The model is trained on the current set of evaluated solutions and can be used to search for promising solutions. These solutions are then evaluated on the expensive function. The resulting iterative procedure is analyzed and compared on test problems and shows fast and robust convergence. ...

متن کاملA novel weight initialization method for the random neural network
In this paper, we propose a novel weight initialization method for the Random Neural Network. The method relies on approximating the signal-flow equations of the network to obtain a linear system of equations with nonnegativity constraints. For the solution of the formulated linear Nonnegative Least Squares problem we have developed an improved projected gradient algorithm. It is shown that sup...
