The Discrete Hopfield Neural Network introduces a G-Type Random 3 Satisfiability logic structure, which can improve the flexibility of the logic structure and meet the requirements of all combinatorial problems. Usually, Exhaustive Search (ES) is regarded as the basic learning algorithm to search the fitness of neurons. To improve the efficiency of the learning algorithm. In this paper, we introduce the estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) as a learning algorithm for the model. To study the learning mechanism of EDA to improve search efficiency, this study focuses on the impact of EDA on the model under different proportions of literals and evaluates the performance of the model at different phases through evaluation indicators. Analyze the effect of EDA on the synaptic weights and the global solution. From the discussion, it can be found that compared with ES, EDA has a larger search space at the same efficiency, which makes the probability of obtaining satisfactory weights higher, and the proportion of global solutions obtained is higher. Higher proportions of positive literals help to improve the model performance.

Former information of probability model and inferior individuals were discarded in the research of estimation of distribution algorithm usually, but they may contain useful information. In this paper, the former probability information is introduced to avoid premature convergence caused by continuously select superior individuals of current population tobuilt probability model, and the individual sampling from superior probability model is filtered by inferior probability model to avoid generating inferior individuals. The algorithm is simulated through the widely used knapsack examples, the results verify the validity of the proposed method, and give suggestion for the choice of parameter through simulation and analysis.

An estimation of distribution algorithm based gas scheduling method is proposed to optimize gas utilization with less emission. Firstly, gas energy flow network (G-EFN) is analyzed, the mathematical model of the gas scheduling is presented. Secondly, the process priority related to gas distribution is given, and a two-stage gas scheduling method is proposed. The major concern of the first stage is to satisfy basic energy requirement of each process. The second stage is to optimize the gas distribution among the processes by using an improved estimation of distribution algorithm to obtain efficient gas utilization with less emission. Finally, a typical iron and steel enterprise is taken as an example to support the argument. The simulation results show that the proposed method can decrease the gas emission to a significant level.

This paper studies a permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSP) with the objective of total tardiness minimization. An improved estimation of distribution algorithm with machine learning, named ML-EDA, is proposed. This algorithm divides the job permutation into several segments and introduces an external archive to keep elite solutions. A two-layer probability model is then constructed in the ML-EDA, and the statistical learning method is employed to produce the probability that the each of job falls at each segment and the probability that the job falls at each location in the segment. Computational results based on benchmark illustrated that the ML-EDA can obtain better solution than the standard EDA for the permutation flowshop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total tardiness.

Designing efficient estimation of distribution algorithms for optimizing complex continuous problems is still a challenging task. This paper utilizes histogram probabilistic model to describe the distribution of population and to generate promising solutions. The advantage of histogram model, its intrinsic multimodality, makes it proper to describe the solution distribution of complex and multimodal continuous problems. To make histogram model more efficiently explore and exploit the search space, several strategies are brought into the algorithms: the surrounding effect reduces the population size in estimating the model with a certain number of the bins and the shrinking strategy guarantees the accuracy of optimal solutions. Furthermore, this paper shows that histogram-based EDA (estimation of distribution algorithm) can give comparable or even much better performance than those predominant EDAs based on Gaussian models.

This paper proposes a new memetic evolutionary algorithm to achieve explicit learning in rule-based nurse rostering, which involves applying a set of heuristic rules for each nurse's assignment. The main framework of the algorithm is an estimation of distribution algorithm, in which an ant-miner methodology improves the individual solutions produced in each generation. Unlike our previous work ( where learning is implicit), the learning in the memetic estimation of distribution algorithm is explicit, that is, we are able to identify building blocks directly. The overall approach learns by building a probabilistic model, that is, an estimation of the probability distribution of individual nurse-rule pairs that are used to construct schedules. The local search processor (ie the ant-miner) reinforces nurse-rule pairs that receive higher rewards. A challenging real-world nurse rostering problem is used as the test problem. Computational results show that the proposed approach outperforms most existing approaches. It is suggested that the learning methodologies suggested in this paper may be applied to other scheduling problems where schedules are built systematically according to specific rules.

In manual order-picking systems such as picker-toparts, order pickers walk through a warehouse in order to pick up articles required by customers. Order batching consists of combining these customer orders into picking orders. In online batching, customer orders arrive throughout the scheduling. This paper considers an online order-batching problem in which the turnover time of all customer orders has to be minimized, i.e., the time period between the arrival time of the customer order and its completion time. A continuous estimation of distribution algorithm-based approach is proposed and developed to solve the problem and implement the solution. Using this approach, the warehouse performance can be noticeably improved with a substantial reduction in the average turnover time of a set of customer orders.

Job shop scheduling problem (JSSP) is a typical NP-hard problem. In order to improve the solving efficiency for JSSP, a hybrid differential evolution and estimation of distribution algorithm based on neighbourhood search is proposed in this paper, which combines the merits of estimation of distribution algorithm and Differential evolution (DE). Meanwhile, to strengthen the searching ability of the proposed algorithm, a chaotic strategy is introduced to update the parameters of DE. Two mutation operators are adopted. A neighbourhood search (NS) algorithm based on blocks on critical path is used to further improve the solution quality. Finally, the parametric sensitivity of the proposed algorithm has been analysed based on the Taguchi method of design of experiment. The proposed algorithm was tested through a set of typical benchmark problems of JSSP. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for solving JSSP.
