Reliable execution and analysis of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) normally requires many runs to provide reasonable assurance that stochastic effects have been properly considered...
In this paper, we consider the scenario that a population-based algorithm is applied to a numerical optimization problem and a solution needs to be presented within a given time bu...
Abstract. Tuning hyper-parameters is a necessary step to improve learning algorithm performances. For Support Vector Machine classifiers, adjusting kernel parameters increases dra...
This paper proposes a method to use reference points as preferences to guide a particle swarm algorithm to search towards preferred regions of the Pareto front. A decision maker c...
In this paper, a novel variant of particle swarm optimization (PSO), named memetic particle swarm optimization algorithm (MeSwarm), is proposed for tackling the overshooting probl...
