The main feature of the Dynamic Multi-objective Optimization Problems (DMOPs) is that optimization objective functions will change with times or environments. One of the promising approaches for solving the DMOPs is reusing the obtained Pareto optimal set (POS) to train prediction models via machine learning approaches. In this paper, we train an Incremental Support Vector Machine (ISVM) classifier with the past POS, and then the solutions of the DMOP we want to solve at the next moment are filtered through the trained ISVM classifier. A high-quality initial population will be generated by the ISVM classifier, and a variety of different types of population-based dynamic multi-objective optimization algorithms can benefit from the population. To verify this idea, we incorporate the proposed approach into three evolutionary algorithms, the multi-objective particle swarm optimization(MOPSO), Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), and the Regularity Model-based multi-objective estimation of distribution algorithm(RE-MEDA). We employ experiments to test these algorithms, and experimental results show the effectiveness.

Dynamic Multi-objective Optimization Problems (DMOPs) refer to optimization problems that objective functions will change with time. Solving DMOPs implies that the Pareto Optimal Set (POS) at different moments can be accurately found, and this is a v ery difficult job due to the dynamics of the optimization problems. The POS that have been obtained in the past can help us to find the POS of the next time more quickly and accurately. Therefore, in this paper we present a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based Dynamic Multi-Objective Evolutionary optimization Algorithm, called SVM-DMOEA. The algorithm uses the POS that has been obtained to train a SVM and then take the trained SVM to classify the solutions of the dynamic optimization problem at the next moment, and thus it is able to generate an initial population which consists of different individuals recognized by the trained SVM. The initial populuation can be fed into any population based optimization algorithm, e.g., the Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), to get the POS at that moment. The experimental results show the validity of our proposed approach.

Real-world multiobjective optimization problems usually involve conflicting objectives that change over time, which requires the optimization algorithms to quickly track the Pareto optimal front (POF) when the environment changes. In recent years, ev olutionary algorithms based on prediction models have been considered promising. However, most existing approaches only make predictions based on the linear correlation between a finite number of optimal solutions in two or three previous environments. These incomplete information extraction strategies may lead to low prediction accuracy in some instances. In this paper, a novel prediction algorithm based on incremental support vector machine (ISVM) is proposed, called ISVM-DMOEA. We treat the solving of dynamic multiobjective optimization problems (DMOPs) as an online learning process, using the continuously obtained optimal solution to update an incremental support vector machine without discarding the solution information at earlier time. ISVM is then used to filter random solutions and generate an initial population for the next moment. To overcome the obstacle of insufficient training samples, a synthetic minority oversampling strategy is implemented before the training of ISVM. The advantage of this approach is that the nonlinear correlation between solutions can be explored online by ISVM, and the information contained in all historical optimal solutions can be exploited to a greater extent. The experimental results and comparison with chosen state-of-the-art algorithms demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively tackle dynamic multiobjective optimization problems.

The main feature of large-scale multi-objective optimization problems (LSMOP) is to optimize multiple conflicting objectives while considering thousands of decision variables at the same time. An efficient LSMOP algorithm should have the ability to e scape the local optimal solution from the huge search space and find the global optimal. Most of the current researches focus on how to deal with decision variables. However, due to the large number of decision variables, it is easy to lead to high computational cost. Maintaining the diversity of the population is one of the effective ways to improve search efficiency. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic prediction model based on trend prediction model and generating-filtering strategy, called LT-PPM, to tackle the LSMOP. The proposed method enhances the diversity of the population through importance sampling. At the same time, due to the adoption of an individual-based evolution mechanism, the computational cost of the proposed method is independent of the number of decision variables, thus avoiding the problem of exponential growth of the search space. We compared the proposed algorithm with several state-of-the-art algorithms for different benchmark functions. The experimental results and complexity analysis have demonstrated that the proposed algorithm has significant improvement in terms of its performance and computational efficiency in large-scale multi-objective optimization.
Dynamic multi-objective optimization problems (DMOPs) remain a challenge to be settled, because of conflicting objective functions change over time. In recent years, transfer learning has been proven to be a kind of effective approach in solving DMOP s. In this paper, a novel transfer learning based dynamic multi-objective optimization algorithm (DMOA) is proposed called regression transfer learning prediction based DMOA (RTLP-DMOA). The algorithm aims to generate an excellent initial population to accelerate the evolutionary process and improve the evolutionary performance in solving DMOPs. When an environmental change is detected, a regression transfer learning prediction model is constructed by reusing the historical population, which can predict objective values. Then, with the assistance of this prediction model, some high-quality solutions with better predicted objective values are selected as the initial population, which can improve the performance of the evolutionary process. We compare the proposed algorithm with three state-of-the-art algorithms on benchmark functions. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can significantly enhance the performance of static multi-objective optimization algorithms and is competitive in convergence and diversity.
A plain well-trained deep learning model often does not have the ability to learn new knowledge without forgetting the previously learned knowledge, which is known as catastrophic forgetting. Here we propose a novel method, SupportNet, to efficiently and effectively solve the catastrophic forgetting problem in the class incremental learning scenario. SupportNet combines the strength of deep learning and support vector machine (SVM), where SVM is used to identify the support data from the old data, which are fed to the deep learning model together with the new data for further training so that the model can review the essential information of the old data when learning the new information. Two powerful consolidation regularizers are applied to stabilize the learned representation and ensure the robustness of the learned model. We validate our method with comprehensive experiments on various tasks, which show that SupportNet drastically outperforms the state-of-the-art incremental learning methods and even reaches similar performance as the deep learning model trained from scratch on both old and new data.
