Applying Ant System for solving Unequal Area Facility Layout Problems

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a young metaheuristic algorithm which has shown promising results in solving many optimization problems. To date, a formal ACO-based metaheuristic has not been applied for solving Unequal Area Facility Layout Problems (UA-FLPs). This paper proposes an Ant System (AS) (one of the ACO variants) to solve them. As a discrete optimization algorithm, the proposed algorithm uses slicing tree representation to easily represent the problems without too restricting the solution space. It uses several types of local search to improve its search performance. It is then tested using several case problems with different size and setting. Overall, the proposed algorithm shows encouraging results in solving UA-FLPs.     

Runtime Analysis of Ant Colony Optimization with Best-So-Far Reinforcement

The paper provides some theoretical results on the analysis of the expected time needed by a class of Ant Colony Optimization algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems. A part of the study refers to some general results on the expected runtime of the considered class of algorithms. These results are then specialized to the case of pseudo-Boolean functions. In particular, three well known functions and a combination of two of them are considered: the OneMax, the Needle-in-a-Haystack, the LeadingOnes, and the OneMax-Needle-in-a-Haystack. The results obtained for these functions are also compared to those from the well-investigated (1+1)-Evolutionary Algorithm. The results shed light on a suitable parameter choice for the considered class of algorithms. Furthermore, it turns out that for two of the four studied problems, the expected runtime for the considered class, expressed in terms of the problem size, is of the same order as that for (1+1)-Evolutionary Algorithm. For the other two problems, the results are significantly in favour of the considered class of Ant Colony Optimization algorithms.      

Monte Carlo EM加速算法

EM算法是近年来常用的求后验众数的估计的一种数据增广算法, 但由于求出其E步中积分的显示表达式有时很困难, 甚至不可能, 限制了其应用的广泛性. 而Monte Carlo EM算法很好地解决了这个问题, 将EM算法中E步的积分用Monte Carlo模拟来有效实现, 使其适用性大大增强. 但无论是EM算法, 还是Monte Carlo EM算法, 其收敛速度都是线性的, 被缺损信息的倒数所控制, 当缺损数据的比例很高时, 收敛速度就非常缓慢. 而Newton-Raphson算法在后验众数的附近具有二次收敛速率. 本文提出Monte Carlo EM加速算法, 将Monte Carlo EM算法与Newton-Raphson算法结合, 既使得EM算法中的E步用Monte Carlo模拟得以实现, 又证明了该算法在后验众数附近具有二次收敛速度. 从而使其保留了Monte Carlo EM算法的优点, 并改进了Monte Carlo EM算法的收敛速度. 本文通过数值例子, 将Monte Carlo EM加速算法的结果与EM算法、Monte Carlo EM算法的结果进行比较, 进一步说明了Monte Carlo EM加速算法的优良性.     

Generating artificial chromosomes with probability control in genetic algorithm for machine scheduling problems

In this paper, a novel genetic algorithm is developed by generating artificial chromosomes with probability control to solve the machine scheduling problems. Generating artificial chromosomes for Genetic Algorithm (ACGA) is closely related to Evolutionary Algorithms Based on Probabilistic Models (EAPM). The artificial chromosomes are generated by a probability model that extracts the gene information from current population. ACGA is considered as a hybrid algorithm because both the conventional genetic operators and a probability model are integrated. The ACGA proposed in this paper, further employs the “evaporation concept” applied in Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to solve the permutation flowshop problem. The “evaporation concept” is used to reduce the effect of past experience and to explore new alternative solutions. In this paper, we propose three different methods for the probability of evaporation. This probability of evaporation is applied as soon as a job is assigned to a position in the permutation flowshop problem. Experimental results show that our ACGA with the evaporation concept gives better performance than some algorithms in the literature.
