Advancing Model-Building for Many-Objective Optimization Estimation of Distribution Algorithms

Proceedings of: 3rd European Event on Bio-Inspired Algorithms for Continuous Parameter Optimisation (EvoNUM 2010) [associated to: EvoApplications 2010. European Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation]. Istambul, Turkey, April 7-9, 2010In order to achieve a substantial improvement of MOEDAs regarding MOEAs it is necessary to adapt their model-building algorithms. Most current model-building schemes used so far off-the-shelf machine learning methods. These methods are mostly error-based learning algorithms. However, the model-building problem has specific requirements that those methods do not meet and even avoid. In this work we dissect this issue and propose a set of algorithms that can be used to bridge the gap of MOEDA application. A set of experiments are carried out in order to sustain our assertionsThis work was supported by projects CICYT TIN2008-06742-C02-02/TSI, CICYT TEC2008-06732-C02-02/TEC, SINPROB, CAM CONTEXTS S2009/TIC-1485 and DPS2008-07029-C02-0Publicad
