Title: Introduction to Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization

Department of Computer Science and Intelligent Systems

Talk Abstract:

Real-world optimization problems often include multiple objective functions to be optimized at the same time. If all/some of objective functions are conflicting among others, there exists no single optimal solution. There are a number of Pareto optimal solutions with different tradeoffs among objectives. Evolutionary multiobjective optimization utilizes a population-based search ability to efficiently find a number of Pareto or near-Pareto optimal solutions by its single run. This lecture introduces the basic idea of evolutionary multiobjective optimization algorithms, the quality indicators, and some recent topics including many-objective optimization, large scale optimization, evolutionary multitasking, and innovization.
