Adaptive Parameterization of Evolutionary Algorithms Driven by Reproduction and Competition

چکیده
running a genetic algorithm entails setting a number of parameter values. Finding settings that work well on one problem is not a trivial task and a genetic algorithm performance can be severely impacted. Moreover we know that in natural environments population sizes, reproduction and competition rates, change and tend to stabilise around appropriate values according to some environmental factors. This paper deals with a new technique for setting the genetic parameters during the course of a run by adapting the population size and the operators rates on the basis of the environmental constrain of maximum population size. In addition genetic operators are seen as alternative reproduction strategies and fighting among individuals is introduced. Finally benchmarks of the proposed strategy on classical optimization problems are shown. The results show that the parameters reach an equilibrium point and that performances on the considered problems are very good.

This paper proposes an evolutionary-based iterative local search hyper-heuristic approach called Iterated Search Driven by Evolutionary Algorithm Hyper-Heuristic (ISEA). Two versions of this algorithm, ISEAchesc and ISEA-adaptive, that differ in the re-initialization scheme are presented. The performance of the two algorithms was experimentally evaluated on six hard optimization problems using ...

متن کامل Structure Learning in Bayesian Networks Using Asexual Reproduction Optimization
A new structure learning approach for Bayesian networks (BNs) based on asexual reproduction optimization (ARO) is proposed in this letter. ARO can be essentially considered as an evolutionary based algorithm that mathematically models the budding mechanism of asexual reproduction. In ARO, a parent produces a bud through a reproduction operator; thereafter the parent and its bud compete to survi...
