Abstract
En 中文
Noisy optimization is currently receiving increasing popularity for its widespread applications in engineering optimization problems, where the objective functions are often found to be contaminated with noisy sensory measurements. In absence of knowledge of the noise-statistics, discriminating better trial solutions from the rest becomes difficult in the selection step of an evolutionary optimization algorithm with noisy objective/s. This paper provides a thorough survey of the present state-of-the-art research on noisy evolutionary algorithms for both single and multi-objective optimization problems. This is undertaken by incorporating one or more of the five strategies in traditional evolutionary algorithms. The strategies include (i) fitness sampling of individual trial solution, (ii) fitness estimation of noisy samples, (iii) dynamic population sizing over the generations, (iv) adaptation of the evolutionary search strategy, and (v) modification in the selection strategy.
