摘要：
Within the context of computational intelligence, several core learning technologies in neural and cognitive systems, fuzzy systems, probabilistic reasoning have been notable for their ability in emulating some of human’s cultural and generalization capabilities. In spite of the accomplishments made in computational intelligence, the attempts to emulate the cultural intelligence of human in search, evolutionary optimization in particular, have to date received less attention. Particularly, the study of optimization methodology which learns from the problem solved and transfer what have been learned to help problem-solving on unseen problems, has been under-explored in the context of evolutionary computation. This talk will touch upon the topic of evolutionary transfer optimization (ETO), which focuses on knowledge learning and transfer across problems for enhanced evolutionary optimization performance. In particular, Prof. Tan will first present an overview of existing ETO approaches for problem-solving in evolutionary computation. He will then introduce his work on ETO for evolutionary multitasking and solving dynamic multi-objective optimization problems. He will end his talk with a discussion of future ETO research directions covering various topics ranging from theoretical analysis to real-world complex applications.
