MEJORAS EN EL DISEÑO MULTIOBJETIVO DE REDES DE FUNCIONES DE BASE RADIAL

ABSTRACT Resumen En este artículo se presenta un nuevo elemento poblacional a considerar en el diseño de algoritmos evolutivos multiobjetivo para la optimización de Redes de Funciones de Base Radial. Concretamente, se divide la población en subpoblaciones virtuales, donde cada subpoblación está compuesta por individuos o redes con el mismo número de neuronas. El objetivo será mantener el mejor individuo (individuo élite) de cada subpoblación entre generaciones, consiguiendo aumentar la diversidad de la población. Este elemento se implementa en el algoritmo EMORBFN, ya presentado por los autores, y se aplica a la tarea de clasificación. En los resultados se puede observar cómo la introducción de este nuevo elemento mejora el comportamiento general del algoritmo. Palabras Clave: Diseño Multiobjetivo, Redes de Funciones de Base Radial, Elitismo.

    Article: Evolutionary computation: comments on the history and current state
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Evolutionary computation has started to receive significant attention during the last decade, although the origins can be traced back to the late 1950's. This article surveys the history as well as the current state of this rapidly growing field. We describe the purpose, the general structure, and the working principles of different approaches, including genetic algorithms (GA) (with links to genetic programming (GP) and classifier systems (CS)), evolution strategies (ES), and evolutionary programming (EP) by analysis and comparison of their most important constituents (i.e. representations, variation operators, reproduction, and selection mechanism). Finally, we give a brief overview on the manifold of application domains, although this necessarily must remain incomplete

    Article: Evolutionary optimization of radial basis function classifiers for data mining applications.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In many data mining applications that address classification problems, feature and model selection are considered as key tasks. That is, appropriate input features of the classifier must be selected from a given (and often large) set of possible features and structure parameters of the classifier must be adapted with respect to these features and a given data set. This paper describes an evolutionary algorithm (EA) that performs feature and model selection simultaneously for radial basis function (RBF) classifiers. In order to reduce the optimization effort, various techniques are integrated that accelerate and improve the EA significantly: hybrid training of RBF networks, lazy evaluation, consideration of soft constraints by means of penalty terms, and temperature-based adaptive control of the EA. The feasibility and the benefits of the approach are demonstrated by means of four data mining problems: intrusion detection in computer networks, biometric signature verification, customer acquisition with direct marketing methods, and optimization of chemical production processes. It is shown that, compared to earlier EA-based RBF optimization techniques, the runtime is reduced by up to 99% while error rates are lowered by up to 86%, depending on the application. The algorithm is independent of specific applications so that many ideas and solutions can be transferred to other classifier paradigms.

  • Article: A fast and elitist multiobjective genetic algorithm: NSGA-II
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) that use non-dominated sorting and sharing have been criticized mainly for: (1) their O(MN<sup>3</sup>) computational complexity (where M is the number of objectives and N is the population size); (2) their non-elitism approach; and (3) the need to specify a sharing parameter. In this paper, we suggest a non-dominated sorting-based MOEA, called NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II), which alleviates all of the above three difficulties. Specifically, a fast non-dominated sorting approach with O(MN<sup>2</sup>) computational complexity is presented. Also, a selection operator is presented that creates a mating pool by combining the parent and offspring populations and selecting the best N solutions (with respect to fitness and spread). Simulation results on difficult test problems show that NSGA-II is able, for most problems, to find a much better spread of solutions and better convergence near the true Pareto-optimal front compared to the Pareto-archived evolution strategy and the strength-Pareto evolutionary algorithm - two other elitist MOEAs that pay special attention to creating a diverse Pareto-optimal front. Moreover, we modify the definition of dominance in order to solve constrained multi-objective problems efficiently. Simulation results of the constrained NSGA-II on a number of test problems, including a five-objective, seven-constraint nonlinear problem, are compared with another constrained multi-objective optimizer, and the much better performance of NSGA-II is observed
