报告摘要：

Evolutionary computation is the study of biologically motivated computational paradigms which exert novel ideas and inspiration from natural evolution and adaptation. The applications of population-based meta-heuristics in solving multiobjective optimization problems have been receiving a growing attention. To search for a family of Pareto optimal solutions based on nature-inspiring metaphors, Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization Algorithms have been successfully exploited to solve optimization problems in which the fitness measures and even constraints are uncertain and changed over time. When encounter optimization problems with many objectives, nearly all designs perform poorly because of loss of selection pressure in fitness evaluation solely based upon Pareto optimality principle. During the last years, evolutionary algorithms have been adapted to address these challenges of curse of dimensionality. This talk will first survey recently published literature along this line of research- evolutionary algorithm for many-objective optimization and its real-world applications. Specific focus will be paid to multi-criteria decision making. A minimum Manhattan distance approach to multiple criteria decision making in many-objective optimization problems is considered. This procedure is equivalent to the knee selection described by a divide and conquer approach that involves iterations of pairwise comparisons. Given such a directive, knee-based evolutionary algorithms have also been exploited to address modern-day problems including automatic design of the deep neural networks.
