Metody evoluční optimalizace založené na modelech / Model-based evolutionary optimization methodsBajer, Lukáš January 2018 (has links)
Model-based black-box optimization is a topic that has been intensively studied both in academia and industry. Especially real-world optimization tasks are often characterized by expensive or time-demanding objective functions for which statistical models can save resources or speed-up the optimization. Each of three parts of the thesis concerns one such model: first, copulas are used instead of a graphical model in estimation of distribution algorithms, second, RBF networks serve as surrogate models in mixed-variable genetic algorithms, and third, Gaussian processes are employed in Bayesian optimization algorithms as a sampling model and in the Covariance matrix adaptation Evolutionary strategy (CMA-ES) as a surrogate model. The last combination, described in the core part of the thesis, resulted in the Doubly trained surrogate CMA-ES (DTS-CMA-ES). This algorithm uses the uncertainty prediction of a Gaussian process for selecting only a part of the CMA-ES population for evaluation with the expensive objective function while the mean prediction is used for the rest. The DTS-CMA-ES improves upon the state-of-the-art surrogate continuous optimizers in several benchmark tests.
