摘要
En 中文
Evolutionary computing (EC) is widely used in dealing with combinatorial optimization problems (COP). Traditional EC methods can only solve a single task in a single run, while real-life scenarios often need to solve multiple COPs simultaneously. In recent years, evolutionary multitasking optimization (EMTO) has become an emerging topic in the EC community. And many methods have been designed to deal with multiple COPs concurrently through exchanging knowledge. However, many-task optimiza-tion, cross-domain knowledge transfer, and negative transfer are still significant challenges in this field. A new evolutionary multitasking algorithm based on adaptive seed transfer (MTEA-AST) is developed for multitasking COPs in this work. First, a dimension unification strategy is proposed to unify the dimensions of different tasks. And then, an adaptive task selection strategy is designed to capture the similarity between the target task and other online optimization tasks. The calculated similarity is exploited to select suitable source tasks for the target one and determine the transfer strength. Next, a task transfer strategy is established to select seeds from source tasks and correct unsuitable knowledge in seeds to suppress negative transfer. Finally, the experimental results indicate that MTEA-AST can adaptively transfer knowledge in both same-domain and cross-domain many-task environments. And the proposed method shows competitive performance compared to other state-of-the-art EMTOs in experiments consisting of four COPs.(c) 2023 Published by Elsevier B.V.
