Adaptive Donor Selection Mixing for Multi-objective Optimization: an Enhanced Variant of MO-GOMEA

Published:12 July 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

The multi-objective gene-pool optimal mixing evolutionary algorithm with interleaved multi-start scheme (MO-GOMEA) is a powerful, parameterless model-based genetic algorithm that excels at solving multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we propose a new mixing mechanism, adaptive donor selection mixing (ADSM) and further integrate it into MO-GOMEA to form a new variant, ADSM-MO-GOMEA. The proposed ADSM mechanism adaptively switches between cluster-guided and elitist-guided mixing, with the latter having a customized donor selection for the receiver based on empirical observations and mathematical derivation. The empirical results on multiple benchmark problems indicate that ADSM-MO-GOMEA improves the effectiveness over the original MO-GOMEA and achieves a lower inverted generational diversity and higher front occupation within the given limited number of evaluations.
