This paper presents a Copula-based Estimation of Distribution Algorithm with Parameter Updating for numeric optimization problems. This model implements an estimation of distribution algorithm using a multivariate extension of the Archimedean copula (MEC-EDA) to estimate the conditional probability for generating a population of individuals. Moreover, the model uses traditional crossover and elitism...
The shortest common superstring problem has important applications in computational biology (e.g. genome assembly) and data compression. This problem is NP-hard, but several heuristic algorithms proved to be efficient for this problem. For example, for the algorithm known as GREEDY it was shown that, if the optimal superstring has the length of N, it produces an answer with length not exceeding 3...
Dynamic multi-objective optimisation (DMOO) entails solving optimisation problems with more than one objective, where at least one objective changes over time. Normally at least two of the objectives are in conflict with one another. Therefore, a single solution does not exist and the goal of an algorithm is to find for each environment a set of solutions that are both diverse and as close as possible...
Finding a good clustering solution for an unknown problem is a challenging task. Evolutionary algorithms have proved to be reliable methods to search for high quality solutions to complex problems. The present paper proposes a new set of genetic operators for the Fast Evolutionary Algorithm for Clustering (Fast-EAC) to improve the solution quality and computational efficiency. The new algorithm, called...
The problem of learning finite-state machines (FSM) is tackled by three Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms. The first two classical ACO algorithms are based on the classical ACO combinatorial problem reduction, where nodes of the ACO construction graph represent solution components, while full solutions are built by the ants in the process of foraging. The third recently introduced mutation-based...
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been widely used in time series forecasting problem. However, a more promising approach is the combination of ANN with other intelligent techniques, such as genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies, etc, where these evolutionary algorithms have the objective of train and adjust all parameter of the ANN. In the evolutionary process is necessary define a fitness...
