Efficient and scalable Pareto optimization by evolutionary local selection algorithms

Local selection is a simple selection scheme in evolutionary computation. Individual fitnesses are accumulated over time and compared to a fixed threshold, rather than to each other, to decide who gets to reproduce. Local selection, coupled with fitness functions stemming from the consumption of finite shared environmental resources, maintains diversity in a way similar to fitness sharing. However, it is more efficient than fitness sharing and lends itself to parallel implementations for distributed tasks. While local selection is not prone to premature convergence, it applies minimal selection pressure to the population. Local selection is, therefore, particularly suited to Pareto optimization or problem classes where diverse solutions must be covered. This paper introduces ELSA, an evolutionary algorithm employing local selection and outlines three experiments in which ELSA is applied to multiobjective problems: a multimodal graph search problem, and two Pareto optimization problems. In all these experiments, ELSA significantly outperforms other well-known evolutionary algorithms. The paper also discusses scalability, parameter dependence, and the potential distributed applications of the algorithm.

Weighted local sharing and local clearing for multimodal optimisation

Local sharing is a method designed for efficient multimodal optimisation that combines fitness sharing with spatially structured populations and elitist replacement. In local sharing, the bias towards sharing and the influence of spatial structure is controlled by the deme (neighbourhood) size. This introduces an undesirable trade-off; to maximise the sharing effect large deme sizes must be used, but the opposite must be true if one wishes to maximise the influence of spatial population structure. This paper introduces two modifications to the local sharing method. The first alters local sharing so that parent selection and fitness sharing operate at two different spatial levels; parent selection is performed within small demes, while the effect of fitness sharing is weighted according to the distance between individuals in the entire population structure. The second method replaces fitness sharing within demes with clearing to produce a method that we call local clearing. The proposed methods, as tested on several benchmark problems, demonstrate a level of efficiency that surpasses that of traditional fitness sharing and standard local sharing. Additionally, they offer a level of parameter robustness that surpasses other elitist niching methods, such as clearing. Through analysis of the local clearing method, we show that this parameter robustness is a result of the isolated nature of the demes in a spatially structured population being able to independently concentrate on subsets of the desired optima in a fitness landscape.     

A spy search mechanism for memetic algorithm in dynamic environments

Searching within the sample space for optimal solutions is an important part in solving optimization problems. The motivation of this work is that today’s problem environments have increasingly become dynamic with non-stationary optima and in order to improve optima search, memetic algorithm has become a preferred search method because it combines global and local search methods to obtain good solutions. The challenge is that existing search methods perform the search during the iterations without being guided by solid information about the nature of the search environment which affects the quality of a search outcome. In this paper, a spy search mechanism is proposed for memetic algorithm in dynamic environments. The method uses a spy individual to scope out the search environment and collect information for guiding the search. The method combines hyper-mutation, random immigrants, hill climbing local search, crowding and fitness, and steepest mutation with greedy crossover hill climbing to enhance the efficiency of the search. The proposed method is tested on dynamic problems and comparisons with other methods indicate a better performance by the proposed method.
