Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) deployment in future wireless networks has been recently considered a promising radio access technology to enhance spectral efficiency (SE). However, gain in SE comes always with the cost of energy efficiency (EE). In this paper, we investigate the SE and EE tradeoff in downlink NOMA with the consideration of quality of service (QoS) requirements based on three population-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs): multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm-2 (SPEA2). The tradeoff is optimized and Pareto optimal solutions are obtained through MOEAs. The effectiveness of the algorithms is evaluated based on the hypervolume metric and the capability of solving multi-objective optimization problems. Simulation results reveal that SPEA2 outperforms NSGA-II and MOPSO. Furthermore, NSGA-II is the loser among all algorithms in terms of finding Pareto optimal results.

The generation and transmission maintenance scheduling (GTMS) problem presents generation (GENCOs) and transmission (TRANSCO) companies scheduling their facilities for maintenance to maximize their profits, while the independent system operator (ISO) pushes for maintenance schedules (MS) that guarantees system reliability and minimizes operation cost. Inherently, GTMS is a high-dimensional, non-linear, non-convex, multi-objective optimization problem that contains conflicting objectives related to different participants in the market. This paper develops a hybrid model to tackle the GTMS problem in a deregulated market environment by combining in a novel way the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm III (NSGA III) and the Dual-Simplex (DS) techniques. The model manages to minimize the total system operational cost and keep high system adequacy, both aspects of interest for the independent system operator (ISO), while increasing the profits of GENCOs. The approach used matches accepted industry maintenance practices with cutting-edge optimization techniques developed in academia. The model, tested in the IEEE-RTS 24 bus test network, delivers a set of feasible MS solutions that address the conflicting relationships between the GENCOs and the ISO in the market, displays a degree of coordination among generation and transmission MS and their impact on electricity prices. Finally, it allows the ISO to use this set to identify the best using the technique for ordering preferences according to the similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) decision-making tool.

The goals of this research were to search for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures, suitable for an on-device processor with limited computing resources, performing at substantially lower Network Architecture Search (NAS) costs. A new algorithm entitled an Early Exit Population Initialisation (EE-PI) for evolutionary Algorithm (EA) was developed to achieve both goals. The EE-PI reduces the total number of parameters in the search process by filtering the models with fewer parameters than the maximum threshold. It will look for a new model to replace those models with parameters more than the threshold. Thereby, reducing the number of parameters, memory usage for model storage and processing time while maintaining the same performance or accuracy. The search time was reduced to 0.52 GPU day. This is a huge and significant achievement compared to the NAS of 4 GPU days achieved using NSGA-Net, 3,150 GPU days by the AmoebaNet model, and the 2,000 GPU days by the NASNet model. As well, Early Exit evolutionary Algorithm networks (EEEA-Nets) yield network architectures with minimal error and computational cost suitable for a given dataset as a class of network algorithms. Using EEEA-Net on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet datasets, our experiments showed that EEEA-Net achieved the lowest error rate among state-of-the-art NAS models, with 2.46% for CIFAR-10, 15.02% for CIFAR-100, and 23.8% for ImageNet dataset. Further, we implemented this image recognition architecture for other tasks, such as object detection, semantic segmentation, and keypoint detection tasks, and, in our experiments, EEEA-Net-C2 outperformed MobileNet-V3 on all of these various tasks.

The design of water and energy systems has traditionally been done independently or considering simplified interdependencies between the two systems. This potentially misses valuable synergies between them and does not consider in detail the distribution of benefits between different sectors or regions. This paper presents a framework to couple integrated water-power network simulators with multi-objective optimisation under uncertainty to explore the implications of explicitly including spatial topology and interdependencies in the design of multi-sector integrated systems. A synthetic case study that incorporates sectoral dependencies in resource allocation, operation of multi-purpose reservoirs and spatially distributed infrastructure selection in both systems is used. The importance of explicitly modelling the distribution of benefits across different sectors and regions is explored by comparing different spatially aggregated and disaggregated multi-objective optimisation formulations. The results show the disaggregated formulation identifies a diverse set of non-dominated portfolios that enables addressing the spatial and sectoral distribution of benefits, whilst the aggregated formulations arbitrarily induce unintended biases. The proposed disaggregated approach allows for detailed spatial design of interlinked water and energy systems considering their complex regional and sectoral trade-offs. The framework is intended to assist planners in real resource systems where diverse stakeholder groups are mindful of receiving their fair share of development benefits.

This paper presents a many-objective analysis framework to handle large real-world water distribution system design problems (WDSDP), which is a typically difficult infrastructure engineering optimization problem type. Six objectives are formulated, focusing on economic, structural and functional aspects in the operation and management of the water distribution system (WDS), and solved by Borg, which is one state-of-the-art multi-objectiveevolutionary algorithm (MOEA) in water resources. The framework comprehensively analyzes and reveals the underlying trade-offs among many objectives, thereby facilitating the selection of the most appropriate design solutions for real-world WDSs. A real-world WDSDP with 1278 decision variables is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, and results show that it can clearly reveal the complex trade-offs among these six different objectives, and it greatly enhances the understanding of the underlying characteristics of Pareto-front solutions. The insights have great practical implications for optimally designing large real-world WDS problems.

Designing neural networks often requires a large number of artificial intelligence experts. However, such manual processes are time-consuming and require numerous resources. In this paper, we try to search neural network structures automatically for the image classification task. Moreover, considering the huge computational cost of neural architecture search (NAS), we attempt to apply a classification surrogate model based multi-objectiveevolutionary algorithm to search neural network architectures (CSMEA-Net). The algorithm combines two objectives, i.e., minimizing the validation error and the computational complexity measured by the number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) to achieve Pareto Optimality. In addition, we improve the components of the cell-based search space. The performance of network architectures discovered by our method is evaluated on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can find a higher-performance neural network architecture compared with both hand-crafted as well as automatically-designed networks.

This research presents a systematic and integrated approach that extends the correlated storage assignment strategy to improve the efficiency of warehouse order picking operations. The correlated storage assignment can reduce a significant amount of travel costs, but could lead to traffic congestion due to the imbalanced traffic flow. Hence, this research proposes the correlated and traffic balanced storage assignment (C&TBSA) to minimize the travel time and picking delays, which is modeled in two stages: clustering and assignment. In the clustering stage, a bi-objective optimization model is formulated to group items with the consideration of both travel efficiency and traffic flow balance, which is solved using multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). In the assignment stage, items in each cluster are distributed to the available storage locations. C& TBSA is evaluated with an actual warehouse case study and the results show that C&TBSA outperforms random, class-based, and correlated storage assignment methods by 48.74%, 23.82%, and 7.58% respectively, regarding the total time consisting of travel time and picking delays.

In this study, a new methodology, hybrid Strength Pareto evolutionary Algorithm Reference Direction (SPEA/R) with Deep Neural Network (HDNN&SPEA/R), has been developed to achieve cost optimization of stiffness parameter for powertrain mount systems. This problem is formalized as a multi-objective optimization problem involving six optimization objectives: mean square acceleration of a rear engine mount, mean square displacement of a rear engine mount, mean square acceleration of a front left engine mount, mean square displacement of a front left engine mount, mean square acceleration of a front right engine mount, and mean square displacement of a front right engine mount. A hybrid HDNN&SPEA/R is proposed with the integration of genetic algorithm, deep neural network, and a Strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm based on reference direction for multi-objective SPEA/R. Several benchmark functions are tested, and results reveal that the HDNN&SPEA/R is more efficient than the typical deep neural network. stiffness parameter for powertrain mount systems optimization with HDNN&SPEA/R is simulated, respectively. It proved the potential of the HDNN&SPEA/R for stiffness parameter for powertrain mount systems optimization problem.

In recent years, most content-based spam filters have been implemented using Machine Learning (ML) approaches by means of token-based representations of textual contents. After introducing multiple performance enhancements, the impact has been virtually irrelevant. Recent studies have introduced synset-based content representations as a reliable way to improve classification, as well as different forms to take advantage of semantic information to address problems, such as dimensionality reduction. These preliminary solutions present some limitations and enforce simplifications that must be gradually redefined in order to obtain significant improvements in spam content filtering. This study addresses the problem of feature reduction by introducing a new semantic-based proposal (SDRS) that avoids losing knowledge (lossless). Synset-features can be semantically grouped by taking advantage of taxonomic relations (mainly hypernyms) provided by BabelNet ontological dictionary (e.g. "Viagra" and "Cialis" can be summarized into the single features "anti-impotence drug", "drug" or "chemical substance" depending on the generalization of 1, 2 or 3 levels). In order to decide how many levels should be used to generalize each synset of a dataset, our proposal takes advantage of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA) and particularly, of the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II). We have compared the performance achieved by a Naive Bayes classifier, using both token-based and synset-based dataset representations, with and without executing dimensional reductions. As a result, our lossless semantic reduction strategy was able to find optimal semantic-based feature grouping strategies for the input texts, leading to a better performance of Naive Bayes classifiers.
