Real-world classification problems generally deal with imbalanced data, where one class represents the majority of the data set. The present work deals with event detection on a drinking-water quality time series, where the presence of a quality event is the minority class. In order to solve such problems, supervised learning algorithms are recommended. Researchers have also used multi-objective optimization (MOO) in order to generate diverse models to build ensembles of classifiers. Although MOO has been used for ensemble member generation, there is a lack on it's application for member selection, which is usually done by selecting a specific subset from the resulting models, or by using meta-algorithms, such as boosting. The proposed work comprises the application of MOO design in the whole process of ensemble generation. To do so, one multi-objective problem (MOP) is defined for the creation of a set of non-dominated solutions with Pareto-optimal support vector machines (SVM). After that, a second MOP is defined for the selection of such SVMs as members of an ensemble. Such methodology is compared to other member selection methods, such as: the single best classifier, an ensemble composed of the full set of non-dominated solutions, and the selection of a specific subset from the Pareto front. Results show that the proposed method is suitable for the creation of ensembles, achieving the highest classification scores.

This paper introduces an approach to deal with IMS (Intelligent Manufacturing System) models, in order to help the development of Decision Support systems, Simulators and Performance Evaluators. The complexity of such systems is growing continuously requiring knowledge and information exchange between different manufacturing functions with more and more efficiency. This paper explores some potentialities of soft computing approaches and intelligent agent-oriented design including artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary computation. The rationale is in order to support decision making processes performed by the autonomous and co-operative units of an IMS.

Control of industrial plants is an important engineering field of study, where the optimization of such processes can lead to better product quality and higher profit. The present work deals with the optimization of an industrial gasifier, proposed as a benchmark challenge by ALSTOM Power Technologies in 2002. Researchers from around the globe proposed different methods for optimizing such system, using linear and nonlinear system identification techniques, different controller schemes, such as proportional-integral-derivative and model predictive controllers, and search methods for controller tuning. The authors care for the study of a methodology that can generalize the controller optimization process of real industrial systems, where linear system identification can lead to simpler systems, which are used to design more robust controllers. The proposed work deals with linear system identification and multiobjective optimization for the gasifier's controller design. To do so, the authors divide the problem in two steps, the linear system identification, where step functions are fed to the gasifier in order to detect the output response of the system, and the design of a proportional-integral-derivative controller, where spherical pruned multi-objective differential evolution algorithm is used in order to optimize the controller gains. The proposed method, unfortunately, does not provide an optimal controller, which can be explained by the complexity of the benchmark system. With such results, the authors believe a better multi-objective problem definition is necessary. Also, it is concluded that such benchmark presents a real challenge for future controller design methndologies.

This paper addresses the problem of the geometric modeling of prosthesis to correct defects in skull bone by computational approach viewpoint. The missing area in a defective skull can be virtually filled by a criterion based on the curvature of the skull shape. The basic argument is that in a computed tomography, the 2D skull border in slice image is similar to a rounded form. This research is proposing a method to find adjusted ellipses on its curvature by Ellipse Adjustment Algorithm(EAA) technique. If the ellipse is correctly adjusted in each computed tomography slice, the resulting arcs that fill the missing area can be built in 3D in order to complete an unknown region in the bone. The problem is that there are many possible solutions and the selection of the best ellipse that fits the contour shape is performed by a Genetic Algorithm(GA). The piece of bone that was missed in skull can be built as a synthetic image to fill a hole at defect position in the skull. With the ellipse parameters it is possible to generate profiles with its set of points in order to build the 3D model using a CAD system. The case study shows the use of the method applied to non-symmetric defects and presents the obtained results.

This article provides a new algorithm to solve the design of classification machine, for linearly separable sets, based in support vectors. For large scale binary classification, an adaptive aggregation (AAM) procedure is executed so that the size of possible support vectors decrease, in each iteration, until convergence to maximum separation margin is achieved.

This paper presents a procedure for input selection and parameter estimation for system identification based on Radial Basis Functions Neural Networks (RBFNNs) models and Free Search Differential Evolution (FSDE). We adopt a cascaded evolutionary algorithm approach and problem decomposition to define the model orders and the related model parameters based on higher orders correlation functions. Thus, we adopt two distinct populations: the first to select the lags on the inputs and outputs of the system and the second to define the parameters for the RBFNN. We show the results when the proposed methodology is applied to model a coupled drives system with real acquired data. We use to this end the canonical binary genetic algorithm (selection of lags) and the recently proposed FSDE (definition of the model parameters), which is very convenient for the present problem for having few control parameters. The results show the validity of the approach when compared to a classical input selection algorithm.
