Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Usually, data-driven multiobjective optimization problems (DD-MOPs) are indirectly solved by evolutionary algorithms through the built surrogate model which is well-trained from sample data. However, in most DD-MOPs, only a few available data can be practicably collected from real engineering experiments due to the unaffordable cost and time. The key challenge in such a DD-MOP is to prevent the serious deterioration on the accuracy of the obtained approximate Pareto front. In this article, two novel strategies, critical fitness for evolutionary algorithms and data augmentation for a surrogate model, are complementarily imposed by a generative adversarial network (GAN) to tackle with the challenges in DD-MOPs. In the critical fitness strategy, a new critical fitness, composed of the critical score from the discriminator of GAN and the prediction value of the surrogate model, is proposed to improve the accuracy of the approximate Pareto front of a DD-MOP. In the data augmentation strategy, some new samples are synthetized by the generator of GAN to build a better-trained surrogate model. As a result, the GAN concurrently serves the critical fitness strategy and the data augmentation strategy as the roles of killing two birds with one stone. The performance of the proposed algorithm for DD-MOPs was well-verified over 26 benchmark problems and successfully applied to discover new NdFeB materials.
