Multi-Objective parameter-less population pyramid for solving industrial process planning problems

Evolutionary methods are effective tools for obtaining high-quality results when solving hard practical problems. Linkage learning may increase their effectiveness. One of the state-of-the-art that employ linkage is Parameter-less Population Pyramid (P3). P3 dedicated to single-objective problems in discrete domains. Recent research shows highly competitive addressing with so-called overlapping blocks, which typical In this paper, we consider a multi-objective industrial process planning problem arises from practice and NP-hard. To handle it, propose version P3. The extensive our proposition outperforms competing considered benchmarks.
