Towards Surrogate Assisted Estimation of Distribution Algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) have become promising kinds of evolutionary algorithms. They are based on sampling an estimated distribution of the better of the solutions from the last generation – iteration of the algorithm. Learning the distribution and sampling is used instead of reproduction common in traditional evolutionary algorithms. In many real-world optimization tasks, objectivefunction-evaluation of any solution is very expensive, so the lowest possible number of such evaluations is desired. We propose using surrogate models in combination with EDAs as a method of reducing the evaluation costs.

Pnm-1: Attitudes to Surrogacy in Women Attending to The Selected Shahrekord Public Health Centers in 1392
Background: There has been little interest in the research literature on public opinions regarding assisted conception and surrogacy, particularly in Iran. Nevertheles, the growing evidence shows that problems in adaptation and coping may be related to perceived normative values. Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional study, questionnaires on attitudes to surrogacy were completed by 187...
متن کاملCombining multiple surrogate models to accelerate failure probability estimation with expensive high-fidelity models
In failure probability estimation, importance sampling constructs a biasing distribution that targets the failure event such that a small number of model evaluations is sufficient to achieve a Monte Carlo estimate of the failure probability with an acceptable accuracy; however, the construction of the biasing distribution often requires a large number of model evaluations, which can become comp...
متن کاملSurrogate-assisted evolutionary computation: Recent advances and future challenges
Surrogate-assisted, or meta-model based evolutionary computation uses efficient computational models, often known as surrogates or meta-models, for approximating the fitness function in evolutionary algorithms. Research on surrogate-assisted evolutionary computation began over a decade ago and has received considerably increasing interest in recent years. Very interestingly, surrogate-assisted ...

We present a Communication-efficient Surrogate Likelihood (CSL) framework for solving distributed statistical inference problems. CSL provides a communication-efficient surrogate to the global likelihood that can be used for low-dimensional estimation, high-dimensional regularized estimation and Bayesian inference. For low-dimensional estimation, CSL provably improves upon naive averaging schem...

An initial study of surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms used to design verticalaxis wind turbines wherein candidate prototypes are evaluated under fan generated wind conditions after being physically instantiated by a 3D printer has recently been presented. Unlike other approaches, such as computational fluid dynamics simulations, nomathematical formulationswere used and nomodel assumpti...
