Emergence of Structural Bias in Differential Evolution
Bas van Stein, Fabio Caraffini, Anna V. Kononova
Heuristic optimisation algorithms are in high demand due to the overwhelming amount of complex optimisation problems that need to be solved. The complexity of these problems is wel…
Is there Anisotropy in Structural Bias?
Diederick Vermetten, Anna V. Kononova, Fabio Caraffini +2
Structural Bias (SB) is an important type of algorithmic deficiency within iterative optimisation heuristics. However, methods for detecting structural bias have not yet fully matu…
Training Data Set Assessment for Decision-Making in a Multiagent Landmine Detection Platform
Johana Florez-Lozano, Fabio Caraffini, Carlos Parra +1
Real-world problems such as landmine detection require multiple sources of information to reduce the uncertainty of decision-making. A novel approach to solve these problems includ…
Multi-Strategy Coevolving Aging Particle Optimization
Giovanni Iacca, Fabio Caraffini, Ferrante Neri
We propose Multi-Strategy Coevolving Aging Particles (MS-CAP), a novel population-based algorithm for black-box optimization. In a memetic fashion, MS-CAP combines two components w…
Compact Optimization Algorithms with Re-sampled Inheritance
Giovanni Iacca, Fabio Caraffini
Compact optimization algorithms are a class of Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) characterized by extremely limited memory requirements (hence they are called "compact")…
