Substructural Neighborhoods for Local Search in the Bayesian Optimization Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies the utility of using substructural neighborhoods for local search in the Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA). The probabilistic model of BOA, which automatically identifies important problem substructures, is used to define the structure of the neighborhoods used in local search. Additionally, a surrogate fitness model is considered to evaluate the improvement of the local search steps. The results show that performing substructural local search in BOA significatively reduces the number of generations necessary to converge to optimal solutions and thus provides substantial speedups.

Loopy Substructural Local Search for the Bayesian Optimization Algorithm
This paper presents a local search method for the Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA) based on the concepts of substructural neighborhoods and loopy belief propagation. The probabilistic model of BOA, which automatically identifies important problem substructures, is used to define the topology of the neighborhoods explored in local search. On the other hand, belief propagation in graphical m...
متن کاملWinner Determination in Combinatorial Auctions using Hybrid Ant Colony Optimization and Multi-Neighborhood Local Search
A combinatorial auction is an auction where the bidders have the choice to bid on bundles of items. The WDP in combinatorial auctions is the problem of finding winning bids that maximize the auctioneer’s revenue under the constraint that each item can be allocated to at most one bidder. The WDP is known as an NP-hard problem with practical applications like electronic commerce, production manag...

متن کاملOPTIMIZATION OF SKELETAL STRUCTURES USING IMPROVED GENETIC ALGORITHM BASED ON PROPOSED SAMPLING SEARCH SPACE IDEA
In this article, by Partitioning of designing space, optimization speed is tried to be increased by GA. To this end, designing space search is done in two steps which are global search and local search. To achieve this goal, according to meshing in FEM, firstly, the list of sections is divided to specific subsets. Then, intermediate member of each subset, as representative of subset, is defined...
متن کاملAugmented Downhill Simplex a Modified Heuristic Optimization Method
Augmented Downhill Simplex Method (ADSM) is introduced here, that is a heuristic combination of Downhill Simplex Method (DSM) with Random Search algorithm. In fact, DSM is an interpretable nonlinear local optimization method. However, it is a local exploitation algorithm; so, it can be trapped in a local minimum. In contrast, random search is a global exploration, but less efficient. Here, rand...
