Comparing neural networks and Kriging for fitness approximation in evolutionary optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neural networks and the Kriging method are compared for constructing fitness approximation models in evolutionary optimization algorithms. The two models are applied in an identical framework to the optimization of a number of well known test functions. In addition, two different ways of training the approximators are evaluated: In one setting the models are built off-line using data from previous optimization runs and in the other setting the models are built online from the data available from the current optimization.

Verification of an Evolutionary-based Wavelet Neural Network Model for Nonlinear Function Approximation
Nonlinear function approximation is one of the most important tasks in system analysis and identification. Several models have been presented to achieve an accurate approximation on nonlinear mathematics functions. However, the majority of the models are specific to certain problems and systems. In this paper, an evolutionary-based wavelet neural network model is proposed for structure definiti...

Substantially, given an initial very poor model approximation, which means small size o...
متن کاملStructure optimization of neural networks for evolutionary design optimization
We study the use of neural networks (NN) as approximate models for fitness evaluation in evolutionary computation. To improve the quality of the NN models, structure optimization of these NNs is applied with respect to two different criteria: One is the commonly used approximation error, and the other is the ability of the NNs to learn different problems of a common class of problems. Simulatio...
متن کاملA Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm Using Neural Networks to Approximate Fitness Evaluations
Two different methods to accelerate the search of a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) using Artificial Neural Networks are presented. Two different methods are proposed. One using ANN to approximate the fitness of the solutions alternated with the real fitness evaluation, being the ANN approximation used only when the estimated error of the neural network was lower than a pre-define...
