The surprisingly popular algorithm (SPA) is a powerful crowd decision model proposed in social science, which can identify the knowledge possessed in of the minority. We have modelled the SPA to select the exemplars in PSO scenarios and proposed the Surprisingly Popular Algorithm-based Comprehensive Adaptive Topology Learning Particle Swarm Optimization. Due to the significant influence of the communication topology on exemplar selection, we propose an adaptive euclidean distance dynamic topology maintenance. And then we propose the Surprisingly Popular Algorithm-based Adaptive Euclidean Distance Topology Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (SpadePSO), which use SPA to guide the direction of the exploitation sub-population. We analyze the influence of different topologies on the SPA. We evaluate the proposed SpadePSO on the full CEC2014 benchmark suite, the spread spectrum radar polyphase coding design and the ordinary differential equations models inference. The experimental results on the full CEC2014 benchmark suite show that the SpadePSO is competitive with PSO, OLPSO, HCLPSO, GL-PSO, TSLPSO and XPSO. The mean and standard deviation of SpadePSO are lower than the other PSO variants on the spread spectrum radar polyphase coding design. Finally, the ordinary differential equations models inference results show that SpadePSO performs better than LatinPSO, specially designed for this problem. SpadePSO has lower requirements for population number than LatinPSO.

Population-based evolutionary algorithms have great potential to handle multiobjective optimisation problems. However, these algorithms depends largely on problem characteristics, and there is a need to improve their performance for a wider range of problems. References, which are often specified by the decision makers preference in different forms, are a very effective method to improve the performance of algorithms but have not been fully explored in literature. This paper proposes a novel framework for effective use of references to strengthen algorithms. This framework considers references as search targets which can be adjusted based on the information collected during the search. The proposed framework is combined with new strategies, such as reference adaptation and adaptive local mating, to solve different types of problems. The proposed algorithm is compared with state of the arts on a wide range of problems with diverse characteristics. The comparison and extensive sensitivity analysis demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is competitive and robust across different types of problems studied in this paper.
An automated technique has recently been proposed to transfer learning in the hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) based on distance-based statistics. The technique enables practitioners to improve hBOA efficiency by collecting statistics from probabilistic models obtained in previous hBOA runs and using the obtained statistics to bias future hBOA runs on similar problems. The purpose of this paper is threefold: (1) test the technique on several classes of NP-complete problems, including MAXSAT, spin glasses and minimum vertex cover; (2) demonstrate that the technique is effective even when previous runs were done on problems of different size; (3) provide empirical evidence that combining transfer learning with other efficiency enhancement techniques can often yield nearly multiplicative speedups.
Designing neural networks for object recognition requires considerable architecture engineering. As a remedy, neuro-evolutionary network architecture search, which automatically searches for optimal network architectures using evolutionary algorithms, has recently become very popular. Although very effective, evolutionary algorithms rely heavily on having a large population of individuals (i.e., network architectures) and is therefore memory expensive. In this work, we propose a Regularized Evolutionary Algorithm with low memory footprint to evolve a dynamic image classifier. In details, we introduce novel custom operators that regularize the evolutionary process of a micro-population of 10 individuals. We conduct experiments on three different digits datasets (MNIST, USPS, SVHN) and show that our evolutionary method obtains competitive results with the current state-of-the-art.
As an emerging field, Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) aims to reduce or eliminate manual operations that require expertise in machine learning. In this paper, a graph-based architecture is employed to represent flexible combinations of ML models, which provides a large searching space compared to tree-based and stacking-based architectures. Based on this, an evolutionary algorithm is proposed to search for the best architecture, where the mutation and heredity operators are the key for architecture evolution. With Bayesian hyper-parameter optimization, the proposed approach can automate the workflow of machine learning. On the PMLB dataset, the proposed approach shows the state-of-the-art performance compared with TPOT, Autostacker, and auto-sklearn. Some of the optimized models are with complex structures which are difficult to obtain in manual design.
Euclidean distance matrices (EDMs) are a major tool for localization from distances, with applications ranging from protein structure determination to global positioning and manifold learning. They are, however, static objects which serve to localize points from a snapshot of distances. If the objects move, one expects to do better by modeling the motion. In this paper, we introduce Kinetic Euclidean Distance Matrices (KEDMs)---a new kind of time-dependent distance matrices that incorporate motion. The entries of KEDMs become functions of time, the squared time-varying distances. We study two smooth trajectory models---polynomial and bandlimited trajectories---and show that these trajectories can be reconstructed from incomplete, noisy distance observations, scattered over multiple time instants. Our main contribution is a semidefinite relaxation (SDR), inspired by SDRs for static EDMs. Similarly to the static case, the SDR is followed by a spectral factorization step; however, because spectral factorization of polynomial matrices is more challenging than for constant matrices, we propose a new factorization method that uses anchor measurements. Extensive numerical experiments show that KEDMs and the new semidefinite relaxation accurately reconstruct trajectories from noisy, incomplete distance data and that, in fact, motion improves rather than degrades localization if properly modeled. This makes KEDMs a promising tool for problems in geometry of dynamic points sets.
