Designing efficient estimation of distribution algorithms for optimizing complex continuous problems is still a challenging task. Nowadays, histogram probabilistic model has become a hot topic in the field of estimation of distribution algorithms because of its intrinsic multimodality that makes it proper to describe the solution distribution of complex and multimodal continuous problems. To make histogram probabilistic model more efficiently explore and exploit the search space, rival penalized competitive learning (RPCL) clustering was brought into the algorithm, so that the algorithm could use the knowledge about distribution of values belong to each span. Experimental results showed that the improved algorithm in this paper can give comparable with or better performance than those improved algorithms.

The agent routing problem in multi-point dynamic task(ARP-MPDT) is a multi-task routing problem of a mobile agent. In this problem, there are multiple tasks to be carried out in different locations. As time goes on, the state of each task will change nonlinearly. The agent must go to the task points in turn to perform the tasks, and the execution time of each task is related to the state of the task point when the agent arrives at the point. ARP-MPDT is a typical NP-hard optimization problem. In this paper, we establish the nonlinear ARP-MPDT model. A multi-model estimation of distribution algorithm(EDA) employing node histogram models(NHM) and edge histogram models(EHM) in probability modeling is used to solve the ARP-MPDT. The selection ratio of NHM and EHM probability models is adjusted adaptively. Finally, performance of the algorithm for solving the ARP-MPDT problem is verified by the computational experiments.

estimation of distribution algorithms (EDA) is a new stochastic optimization algorithm in the field of evolutionary computation. Aiming at the disadvantages of EDA for multi-peak function optimization falling into local optimization easily and not retaining some excellent models, combining with genetic algorithm, the improved EDA is provided. The crossover and mutation operations are added. To maintain the diversity of population, the chaotic initialization is introduced and the individual diversity is adjusted based on the individual density. The new population is produced according to the probability estimation model and the elitist is reserved. A fast parallel EDA with the capacity of global search is designed. Simulation results show that the algorithm can quickly find the global extreme points.

An estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) is proposed to solve resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). In the EDA, individual is encoded based on the extended active list, and a probability model of the distribution for each activity in a project and its updating mechanism are proposed. The algorithm determines the initial probability matrix according to an initial set of solutions generated by the regret-based sampling method and priority rule, and decodes the individuals by using serial schedule generation scheme. Meanwhile, a permutation based local search method is incorporated into the algorithm to enhance the exploitation ability so as to further improve the searching quality. Simulation results based on benchmarks and comparisons with some existing algorithms demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed EDA.

estimation-of-distributionalgorithms (EDAs) have been applied with quite some success when solving real-valued optimization problems, especially in the case of Black Box Optimization (BBO). Generally, the performance of an EDA depends on the match between its driving probability distribution and the landscape of the problem being solved. Because most well-known EDAs, including CMA-ES, NES, and AMaLGaM, use a uni-modal search distribution, they have a high risk of getting trapped in local optima when a problem is multi-modal with a (moderate) number of relatively comparable modes. This risk could potentially be mitigated using niching methods that define multiple regions of interest where separate search distributions govern sub-populations. However, a key question is how to determine a suitable number of niches, especially in BBO. In this paper, we present a novel, adaptive niching approach that determines the niches through hierarchical clustering based on the correlation between the probability densities and fitness values of solutions. We test the performance of a combination of this niching approach with AMaLGaM on both new and well-known niching benchmark problems and find that the new approach properly identifies multiple landscape modes, leading to much better performance on multi-modal problems than with a non-niched, uni-modal EDA.y

This paper presents a set of evolutionary mechanisms embedded on an estimation of distribution algorithm (MITEDA-AC) that performs the synthesis of an analog low pass filter. Analog circuits are modeled with linked lists in order to represent and evolve both, topology and sizing. The developed representation mechanism ensures that generated circuits be feasible, and in order to reduce the gap between real circuits and those evolvable, the concept of preferred values was included on representation and generation mechanisms. The algorithm interacts with SPICE to performance evaluation of each individual in the population. MITEDA-AC was inspired by the COMIT because like this, it uses bivariate probability distributions to generate the optimal dependency tree, but without local optimizers. Features integrated in the learning mechanism of this evolvable algorithm, were the number of capacitors, resistors and inductors included in each circuit of the population. This paper describes the algorithm and discusses its results.

The deep learning techniques have received great achievements in computer vision, natural language processing, etc. The success of deep neural networks depends on the sufficient training of parameters. The traditional way of neural network training is a gradient-based algorithm, which suffers the disadvantage of gradient disappearing, especially for the deeper neural network. Recently, a heuristic algorithm has been proposed for deeper neural network optimization. In this paper, a random mask and elitism univariate continuous estimation of distribution algorithm based on the Gaussian model is proposed to pre-train staked auto-encoder, and then a Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) based fine-tuning process is carried out for local searching. In the improved estimation of the distributionalgorithm, two individual update strategies are defined;one group of individuals is generated according to the constructed probabilistic model, and another is updated according to the statistics of advanced individuals that aim to reduce the probability of combination explosion and time consumption according to the mask information. In the simulations, different architectures, different mask ratios and different promising individual ratios are adopted to testify the effectiveness of the improved algorithm. According to simulation results, the estimation of thr distributionalgorithm has a steady optimization ability for the shallow and stacked autoencoder by one-step pre-training combining SGD based fine-tuning for the MNIST dataset. The proposed model will achieve a state-of-the-art performance on Fashion-MNIST.
