Epoch-based Application of Problem-Aware Operators in a Multiobjective Memetic Algorithm for Portfolio Optimization
Feijoo Colomine Durán, Carlos Cotta, Antonio J. Fernández-Leiva
We consider the issue of intensification/diversification balance in the context of a memetic algorithm for the multiobjective optimization of investment portfolios with cardinality…
Metaheuristics for the Template Design Problem: Encoding, Symmetry and Hybridisation
David Rodríguez Rueda, Carlos Cotta, Antonio J. Fernández-Leiva
The template design problem (TDP) is a hard combinatorial problem with a high number of symmetries which makes solving it more complicated. A number of techniques have been propose…
Memetic collaborative approaches for finding balanced incomplete block designs
David Rodríguez Rueda, Carlos Cotta, Antonio J. Fernández-Leiva
The balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) problem is a difficult combinatorial problem with a large number of symmetries, which add complexity to its resolution. In this paper, w…
Deep memetic models for combinatorial optimization problems: application to the tool switching problem
Jhon Edgar Amaya, Carlos Cotta, Antonio J. Fernández-Leiva +1
Memetic algorithms are techniques that orchestrate the interplay between population-based and trajectory-based algorithmic components. In particular, some memetic models can be reg…
Optimizing Hearthstone Agents using an Evolutionary Algorithm
Pablo García-Sánchez, Alberto Tonda, Antonio J. Fernández-Leiva +1
Digital collectible card games are not only a growing part of the video game industry, but also an interesting research area for the field of computational intelligence. This game…
New perspectives on the optimal placement of detectors for suicide bombers using metaheuristics
Carlos Cotta, José E. Gallardo
We consider an operational model of suicide bombing attacks -- an increasingly prevalent form of terrorism -- against specific targets, and the use of protective countermeasures ba…
