THE LEM3 SYSTEM FOR MULTITYPE EVOLUTIONARY OPTIMIZATION
Janusz Wojtusiak · 2009
LEM3 is the newest version of the learnable evolution model (LEM), a non-Darwinian evolutionary computation methodology that employs machine learning to guide evolutionary processes. Due to the deep integration of differ- ent modes of operation, several novel elements in its algorithm, and the use of the advanced machine learning system AQ21, the LEM3 system is a highly efficient and effective implementation of the methodology. LEM3 is particularly attractive for multitype optimization because it supports, and treats accordingly, different at- tribute types for describing candidate solutions in the population. These attribute types are nominal, ordinal, structured, cyclic, interval, and ratio. Application to optimization of parameters of a complex system illustrates multitype optimization problem.
