Abstract:

This talk explains how evolutionary computation can be used for sing-objective, multi-objective and many-objective optimization. First, it is shown that a population-based search framework of evolutionary computation is applicable to a wide variety of application tasks such as the design of high speed trains, the evolution of game strategies, the optimization of neural networks, and the learning of control strategies. A simple example is shown to illustrate the framework of evolutionary computation in an easily understandable manner. Next, evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) is explained together with some basic concepts of multi-objective optimization such as Pareto dominance and Pareto optimality. Differences between single-objective and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are visually demonstrated through the comparison between the EMO approach and the weighted-sum approach. Then, many-objective evolutionary optimization is discussed. It has already been demonstrated in the literature that many-objective problems with four or more objectives are very difficult for EMO algorithms. A number of attempts have also been reported to improve the scalability of EMO algorithms to many-objective problems. Some attempts are explained together with experimental results on many-objective 0/1 knapsack problems with 2-10 objectives.
