Supervised and Unsupervised Discretization Methods for Evolutionary Algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces simple model-building evolutionary algorithms (EAs) that operate on continuous domains. The algorithms are based on supervised and unsupervised discretization methods that have been used as preprocessing steps in machine learning. The basic idea is to discretize the continuous variables and use the discretization as a simple model of the solutions under consideration. The model is then used to generate new solutions directly, instead of using the usual operators based on sexual recombination and mutation. The algorithms are tested with several functions and the results suggest that combining discretizers with EAs may be an interesting path for future developments.

Optimization of sediment rating curve coefficients using evolutionary algorithms and unsupervised artificial neural network
Sediment rating curve (SRC) is a conventional and a common regression model in estimating suspended sediment load (SSL) of flow discharge. However, in most cases the data log-transformation in SRC models causing a bias which underestimates SSL prediction. In this study, using the daily stream flow and suspended sediment load data from Shalman hydrometric station on Shalmanroud River, Guilan Pro...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Multi-objective Discretization based on Normalized Cut
Learning models and related results depend on the quality of the input data. If raw data is not properly cleaned and structured, the results are tending to be incorrect. Therefore, discretization as one of the preprocessing techniques plays an important role in learning processes. The most important challenge in the discretization process is to reduce the number of features’ values. This operat...
