摘要：Multiobjective problems are always aroused in our daily life in that we have to make decisions based on many different objectives. Recently, Multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) decomposes a multiobjective optimization problem into a set of scalar optimization subproblems and optimizes them in a collaborative manner. This approach has been proved to be the state of the art method in solving multi-objective/many objective problems. In MOEA/D, subproblems and solutions are modelled as two sets of agents for matching. Thus, this kind of selection of promising solutions for subproblems can be regarded as a matching between subproblems and solutions. This problem could be viewed as a Stable matching problem as for school admission, hospital residents problems. Also, it can effectively resolve conflicts of interests among selfish agents in the economic market. In this talk, I will advocate the use of a simple and effective stable matching (STM) model to coordinate the selection process in MOEA/D. In this model, subproblem agents can express their preferences over the solution agents, and vice versa. The stable outcome produced by the STM model matches each subproblem with one single solution, and it tradeoffs convergence and diversity of
the evolutionary search. In addition, a two-level stable matching-based selection is proposed to further guarantee the diversity of the population. More specifically, the first level of stable matching only matches a solution to one of its most preferred subproblems and the second level of stable matching is responsible for matching the solutions to the remaining subproblems. Experimental studies demonstrate that the proposed selection scheme is effective and competitive comparing to other state-of-the-art selection schemes for MOEA/D.
报告人简介：Sam Kwong received the B.Sc. degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, in 1983, the M.A.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada, in 1985, and the Ph.D. degree from the Fernuniversit Hagen, Hagen, Germany, in 1996. From 1985 to 1987, he was a Diagnostic Engineer with Control Data Canada, where he designed the diagnostic software to detect the manufacture faults of the VLSI chips in the Cyber 430 machine. He later joined the Bell Northern Research Canada as a Member of Scientific Staff, where he worked on both the DMS-100 voice network and the DPN-100 data network project. In 1990, he joined the City University of Hong Kong as a Lecturer in the Department of Electronic Engineering. He was responsible of the software design of the first handheld GSM mobile phone consultancy project in which it was one of the largest consultancy projects at the City University of Hong Kong in 1996. He coauthored three research books on genetic algorithms, eight book chapters, and over 200 technical papers. He has been a consultant to several companies in telecommunications. Prof. Kwong was awarded the Best Paper Award for his paper entitled “Multiobjective Optimization of Radio-to-Fiber Repeater Placement Using a
Jumping Gene Algorithm” at the IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT’05), Hong Kong, in 2005. In addition, he received the Best Paper Award at the 1999 BioInformatics Workshop, Tokyo, for the paper entitled “A Compression Algorithm for DNA Sequences and Its Application in Genome Comparison” in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the conference. He has served as the Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, the Journal of Information Science. Currently, he is the Head and Chair Professor of the Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong. Prof. Kwong was elevated to IEEE Fellow for his contributions on Optimization Techniques for Cybernetics and Video Coding in 2014.
