September 2023 - Our work (collaborated with Dr Yi Xiang and others) on using the quality-diversity method to automatedly generate test suites for software product lines has been accepted by ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology. Congratulations to Yi!
August 2023 - Our survey paper (collaborated with Dr Manuel López-Ibáñez) on archiving methods in multi-objective optimisation has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation. This work conducts a systematic study of archiving methods in multi-objective optimisation from a general theoretical perspective. Congratulations to Manuel and Xin!
August 2023 - It was my great pleasure to give a webinar on MOEAs for combinatorial optimisation at IEEE CIS ESCO Taskforce. A thank-you to Dr Yi Mei for the invitation!
May 2023 - It was my great pleasure to give a tutorial (with Dr Tao Chen) on methodologies and guidelines for evaluating multi-objective search-based software engineering at ICSE'23.
April 2023 - Our paper (collaborated with Dr Chao Qian's group) on stochastic population update for MOEAs has been accepted by IJCAI'23. This work challenges the common practice of updating the population in a deterministic, greedy way in EMO, and analytically proves that introducing randomness in population update can help. Congratulations to Chao, Yawen and Chao!
March 2023 - Our paper on finding a "strange" behaviour of MOEAs on combinatorial optimisation problems has been accepted by GECCO'23. This work reported an interesting phenomenon that different executions of an MOEA may end up in very different areas in search space. Congratulations to Xiaofeng and Xiaochen!
March 2023 - Our work (collaborated with Prof Per Kristian Lehre) on some preliminary results of non-elitist evolutionary multi-objective optimisation has been accepted by GECCO'23. Congratulations to Zimin and Per Kristian!
March 2023 - I am pleased to announce that our application of UoB-Leiden University collaboration Seed Funds is successful. Look forward to working with Dr Hao Wang and Prof Thomas Bäck at Leiden.
March 2023 - Our work (collaborated with Dr Chao Qian's group) on subset selection for evolutionary multi-objective optimisation has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation. Congratulations to Yuran, Chao and Chao!
Jan 2023 - I am honoured to be invited to serve as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation.
