"Estimation of distribution algorithms"

Effective search for genetic-based machine learning systems via estimation of distribution algorithms and embedded feature reduction techniques

Genetic-based machine learning (GBML) systems, which employ evolutionary algorithms (EAs) as search mechanisms, evolve rule-based classification models to represent target concepts. Compared to Michigan-style GBML, Pittsburgh-style GBML is expected …

Effective Structure Learning for EDA via L1-Regularizedbayesian Networks

The Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA) uses Bayesian networks to explore the dependencies between decision variables of an optimization problem in pursuit of both faster speed of convergence and better solution quality. In this paper, a novel …
