A byproduct benefit of using probabilistic model-building genetic algorithms is the creation of cheap and accurate surrogate models. Learning classifier systems---and genetics-based machine learning in general---can greatly benefit from such surrogates which may replace the costly matching procedure of a rule against large data sets. In this paper we investigate the accuracy of such surrogate fitness functions when coupled with the probabilistic models evolved by the x-ary extended compact classifier system (xeCCS). To achieve such a goal, we show the need that the probabilistic models should be able to represent all the accurate basis functions required for creating an accurate surrogate. We also introduce a procedure to transform populations of rules based into dependency structure matrices (DSMs) which allows building accurate models of overlapping building blocks---a necessary condition to accurately estimate the fitness of the evolved rules.

Pittsburgh Learning Classifier Systems for Protein Structure Prediction: Sca...Xavier Llorà
This document summarizes research using a Pittsburgh Learning Classifier System (LCS) called GAssist to predict protein structure by determining coordination numbers (CN). The researchers tested GAssist on a dataset of over 250,000 protein residues, comparing it to support vector machines, Naive Bayes, and C4.5 decision trees. While support vector machines achieved the best accuracy, GAssist produced more interpretable and compact rule sets at the cost of lower performance. The researchers analyzed the interpretability and scalability of GAssist for this challenging bioinformatics problem, identifying avenues for improving its accuracy while maintaining explanatory power.

This document discusses using a genetic algorithm to optimize riser design in casting processes. It begins by introducing casting and the importance of riser design in improving yield percentage. Currently, risers are designed using empirical methods which are time-consuming and inaccurate. The document then describes genetic algorithms and how they can be applied to optimize riser design by encoding potential solutions and using genetic operators like selection, crossover and mutation to evolve better designs over generations. The objective is to minimize riser volume while meeting constraints. The methodology section outlines the basic principles and steps of a genetic algorithm, including reproducing fit individuals, crossover to recombine strings, and mutation of genes to form new solutions.
IRJET- Optimization of Riser through Genetic AlorithmIRJET Journal
This document discusses using a genetic algorithm to optimize riser design in casting processes. It begins by introducing casting and the importance of riser design in improving yield percentage and reducing defects from shrinkage. Genetic algorithms are then described as an optimization technique inspired by natural evolution that can find optimal solutions. The document outlines the methodology for using a genetic algorithm to optimize riser design, including generating an initial population, evaluating fitness, and applying genetic operators like reproduction, crossover and mutation over generations to evolve optimal riser dimensions that minimize volume while meeting constraints. The goal is to apply this approach to optimize riser design for a differential case casting and reduce shrinkage defects.
The document proposes a new hybrid conjugate gradient method called SW-A that combines the WYL and AMRI conjugate gradient methods. It presents the algorithm for SW-A and evaluates its performance on 18 standard unconstrained optimization test functions compared to WYL and AMRI in terms of number of iterations and CPU time. The results show that SW-A is able to solve all test problems while WYL solves 97% and AMRI solves 95%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the new hybrid method.

The document discusses Adaptable Constrained Genetic Programming (ACGP), which aims to automate the discovery of heuristics to guide the genetic programming search. It describes how ACGP develops first-order and second-order heuristics based on patterns observed in high-performing individuals, and uses these heuristics to bias mutation, crossover and regrowth. Experimental results on a target equation with explicit second-order structure show that ACGP with second-order heuristics outperforms both standard GP and ACGP with only first-order heuristics. The document concludes that ACGP is effective at discovering and exploiting problem structure through its adaptive heuristic approach.
A Genetic Algorithm Based Approach for Solving Optimal Power Flow ProblemShubhashis Shil
This document describes a study that uses a genetic algorithm to solve the optimal power flow problem. The optimal power flow problem aims to minimize operating costs in a power system by optimizing generator outputs while meeting demand and constraints. The study develops a genetic algorithm approach and compares its results and computation time to traditional derivative-based methods on some example power flow cases. It finds that the genetic algorithm approach produces nearly equivalent results to traditional methods, but requires significantly less computation time to solve the optimal power flow problem, especially as more constraints are added.
IRJET- Comprehensive Analysis on Optimal Allocation and Sizing of Distributed...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper that investigates the optimal allocation and sizing of distributed generation (DG) units in a distribution system using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The objective is to minimize voltage deviation and total power loss. A 33-bus distribution network is used as a case study. The results show that allocating 3 DG units at buses 18, 14, and 17 with sizes of 1.7154 MW, 0.1908 MW, and 1.6159 MW respectively reduces voltage deviation at all buses and total power loss by 89.83%. The PSO technique effectively finds the optimal DG locations and sizes to improve the voltage profile and minimize losses in the distribution network.
This document compares the performance of genetic algorithms and niching methods for clustering undirected weighted graphs.

A new CPXR Based Logistic Regression Method and Clinical Prognostic Modeling ...Vahid Taslimitehrani
Presented at 15th International Conference on BioInformatics and BioEngineering (BIBE2014)
Prognostic modeling is central to medicine, as it is often used to predict patients’ outcome and response to treatments and to identify important medical risk factors. Logistic regression is one of the most used approaches for clinical pre- diction modeling. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important public health issue and a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In this study, we adapt CPXR (Contrast Pattern Aided Regression, a recently introduced regression method), to develop a new logistic regression method called CPXR(Log), for general binary outcome prediction (including prognostic modeling), and we use the method to carry out prognostic modeling for TBI using admission time data. The models produced by CPXR(Log) achieved AUC as high as 0.93 and specificity as high as 0.97, much better than those reported by previous studies. Our method produced interpretable prediction models for diverse patient groups for TBI, which show that different kinds of patients should be evaluated differently for TBI outcome prediction and the odds ratios of some predictor variables differ significantly from those given by previous studies; such results can be valuable to physicians.

Using particle swarm optimization to solve test functions problemsriyaniaes
In this paper the benchmarking functions are used to evaluate and check the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. However, the functions utilized have two dimension but they selected with different difficulty and with different models. In order to prove capability of PSO, it is compared with genetic algorithm (GA). Hence, the two algorithms are compared in terms of objective functions and the standard deviation. Different runs have been taken to get convincing results and the parameters are chosen properly where the Matlab software is used. Where the suggested algorithm can solve different engineering problems with different dimension and outperform the others in term of accuracy and speed of convergence.

From Galapagos to Twitter: Darwin, Natural Selection, and Web 2.0Xavier Llorà
One hundred and fifty years have passed since the publication of Darwin's world-changing manuscript "The Origins of Species by Means of Natural Selection". Darwin's ideas have proven their power to reach beyond the biology realm, and their ability to define a conceptual framework which allows us to model and understand complex systems. In the mid 1950s and 60s the efforts of a scattered group of engineers proved the benefits of adopting an evolutionary paradigm to solve complex real-world problems. In the 70s, the emerging presence of computers brought us a new collection of artificial evolution paradigms, among which genetic algorithms rapidly gained widespread adoption. Currently, the Internet has propitiated an exponential growth of information and computational resources that are clearly disrupting our perception and forcing us to reevaluate the boundaries between technology and social interaction. Darwin's ideas can, once again, help us understand such disruptive change. In this talk, I will review the origin of artificial evolution ideas and techniques. I will also show how these techniques are, nowadays, helping to solve a wide range of applications, from life science problems to twitter puzzles, and how high performance computing can make Darwin ideas a routinary tool to help us model and understand complex systems.
Large Scale Data Mining using Genetics-Based Machine LearningXavier Llorà
We are living in the peta-byte era.We have larger and larger data to analyze, process and transform into useful answers for the domain experts. Robust data mining tools, able to cope with petascale volumes and/or high dimensionality producing human-understandable solutions are key on several domain areas. Genetics-based machine learning (GBML) techniques are perfect candidates for this task, among others, due to the recent advances in representations, learning paradigms, and theoretical modeling. If evolutionary learning techniques aspire to be a relevant player in this context, they need to have the capacity of processing these vast amounts of data and they need to process this data within reasonable time. Moreover, massive computation cycles are getting cheaper and cheaper every day, allowing researchers to have access to unprecedented parallelization degrees. Several topics are interlaced in these two requirements: (1) having the proper learning paradigms and knowledge representations, (2) understanding them and knowing when are they suitable for the problem at hand, (3) using efficiency enhancement techniques, and (4) transforming and visualizing the produced solutions to give back as much insight as possible to the domain experts are few of them.
This tutorial will try to answer this question, following a roadmap that starts with the questions of what large means, and why large is a challenge for GBML methods. Afterwards, we will discuss different facets in which we can overcome this challenge: Efficiency enhancement techniques, representations able to cope with large dimensionality spaces, scalability of learning paradigms. We will also review a topic interlaced with all of them: how can we model the scalability of the components of our GBML systems to better engineer them to get the best performance out of them for large datasets. The roadmap continues with examples of real applications of GBML systems and finishes with an analysis of further directions.
Data-Intensive Computing for Competent Genetic Algorithms: A Pilot Study us...Xavier Llorà
Data-intensive computing has positioned itself as a valuable programming paradigm to efficiently approach problems requiring processing very large volumes of data. This paper presents a pilot study about how to apply the data-intensive computing paradigm to evolutionary computation algorithms. Two representative cases (selectorecombinative genetic algorithms and estimation of distribution algorithms) are presented, analyzed, and discussed. This study shows that equivalent data-intensive computing evolutionary computation algorithms can be easily developed, providing robust and scalable algorithms for the multicore-computing era. Experimental results show how such algorithms scale with the number of available cores without further modification.

Learning Classifier Systems for Class Imbalance ProblemsXavier Llorà
The document discusses learning classifier systems (LCS) for addressing class imbalance problems in datasets. It aims to enhance the applicability of LCS to knowledge discovery from real-world datasets that often exhibit class imbalance, where one class is represented by significantly fewer examples than other classes.

Meandre: Semantic-Driven Data-Intensive Flows in the CloudsXavier Llorà
- Meandre is a semantic-driven data-intensive workflow infrastructure for distributed computing. It allows users to assemble modular components into complex workflows (flows) in a visual programming tool or using a scripting language called ZigZag.
- Workflows are composed of components, which can be executable or control components. Executable components perform computational tasks when data is available, while control components pause workflows for user interactions. Components are described semantically using ontologies to separate functionality from implementation.
- Data availability drives workflow execution in Meandre. When required inputs are available, components will fire and produce outputs to make data available for downstream components. This dataflow approach aims to make workflows transparent, intuitive, and reusable across
ZigZag is a new language for describing data-intensive workflows. It aims to make the Meandre infrastructure easier to use by allowing users to assemble complex data flows. The language has a new syntax and compiles workflows that can then be run on Meandre to process large datasets.
Towards Better than Human Capability in Diagnosing Prostate Cancer Using Infr...Xavier Llorà
Cancer diagnosis is essentially a human task. Almost universally, the process requires the extraction of tissue (biopsy) and examination of its microstructure by a human. To improve diagnoses based on limited and inconsistent morphologic knowledge, a new approach has recently been proposed that uses molecular spectroscopic imaging to utilize microscopic chemical composition for diagnoses. In contrast to visible imaging, the approach results in very large data sets as each pixel contains the entire molecular vibrational spectroscopy data from all chemical species. Here, we propose data handling and analysis strategies to allow computer-based diagnosis of human prostate cancer by applying a novel genetics-based machine learning technique ({\tt NAX}). We apply this technique to demonstrate both fast learning and accurate classification that, additionally, scales well with parallelization. Preliminary results demonstrate that this approach can improve current clinical practice in diagnosing prostate cancer.

What Not to Document and Why_ (North Bay Python 2024)Margaret Fero
We’re hopefully all on board with writing documentation for our projects. However, especially with the rise of supply-chain attacks, there are some aspects of our projects that we really shouldn’t document, and should instead remediate as vulnerabilities. If we do document these aspects of a project, it may help someone compromise the project itself or our users. In this talk, you will learn why some aspects of documentation may help attackers more than users, how to recognize those aspects in your own projects, and what to do when you encounter such an issue.
These are slides as presented at North Bay Python 2024, with one minor modification to add the URL of a tweet screenshotted in the presentation.
Interaction Latency: Square's User-Centric Mobile Performance MetricScyllaDB
Mobile performance metrics often take inspiration from the backend world and measure resource usage (CPU usage, memory usage, etc) and workload durations (how long a piece of code takes to run).
However, mobile apps are used by humans and the app performance directly impacts their experience, so we should primarily track user-centric mobile performance metrics. Following the lead of tech giants, the mobile industry at large is now adopting the tracking of app launch time and smoothness (jank during motion).
At Square, our customers spend most of their time in the app long after it's launched, and they don't scroll much, so app launch time and smoothness aren't critical metrics. What should we track instead?
This talk will introduce you to Interaction Latency, a user-centric mobile performance metric inspired from the Web Vital metric Interaction to Next Paint"" (web.dev/inp). We'll go over why apps need to track this, how to properly implement its tracking (it's tricky!), how to aggregate this metric and what thresholds you should target.

– Quality: Minimum description length (MDL)
• Occam’s razor principle
• All things being equal, simpler models are better
– Search Method: Greedy heuristic search

9. Marginal Product Model (MPM)
• Partition variables into disjoint sets
• Product of marginal distributions on a partition of
genes
• Gene partition maps to linkage groups
MPM: [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], … [l-2, l -1, l]
... xl-2 xl-1 xl
x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6
{p000, p001, p00#, p010, p011, p01#, p100, p101,
p10#, p110, p111, p11# … }(27 probabilities)

10. Minimum Description Length Metric
• Hypothesis: For an optimal model
– Model size and error is minimum
• Model complexity, Cm
– # of bits required to store all marginal probabilities
• Compressed population complexity, Cp
– Entropy of the marginal distribution over all partitions
• MDL metric, Cc = Cm + Cp
GECCO 2007 Llorà, Sastry, Yu & Goldberg 10
11. Building an Optimal MPM
• Assume independent genes ([1],[2],…,[l])
• Compute MDL metric, Cc
• All combinations of two subset merges
Eg., {([1,2],[3],…,[l]), ([1,3],[2],…,[l]), ([1],[2],…,[l-1,l])}
•
• Compute MDL metric for all model candidates
• Select the set with minimum MDL,
• If , accept the model and go to step 2.
• Else, the current model is optimal

13. Fitness Inheritance using Least Squares
• Proposed by Sastry, Lima & Goldberg (2006)
• Surrogate is a regression using basis identified by BBs
• A simple example: [1,3] [2] [4]
• The schemas represented are
– {0*0*, 0*1*, 0*#*, 1*0*, 1*1*, 1*#*, #*0*, #*1*, #*#*,
*0**, *1**, *#**, ***0 , ***1 , ***#}
• Recode the individuals by

14. Fitness Inheritance using Least Squares
• Recoding defines matrix A
• Normalize the fitness
GECCO 2007 Llorà, Sastry, Yu & Goldberg 14
15. Fitness Inheritance using Least Squares
• Solve using least squares
• Once solved, the fitness surrogate take the following form

16. Fitness Inheritance and χeCCS
• Two different problems
Hidden XOR 6-input multiplexer
GECCO 2007 Llorà, Sastry, Yu & Goldberg 16
17. Hidden XOR
• Evolved rules and model
• Surrogate accuracy
GECCO 2007 Llorà, Sastry, Yu & Goldberg 17
18. 6-input Multiplexer
• The evolved solution and model
• The surrogate is totally off
GECCO 2007 Llorà, Sastry, Yu & Goldberg 18
19. 6-input Multiplexer
• The key = missing basis
• χeCCS is able to solve the problem quickly, reliably,
and accurately
• However, the model basis are not accurate enough
to build a proper surrogate
GECCO 2007 Llorà, Sastry, Yu & Goldberg 19
20. Overlapping BBs using DSMGA
• Proposed by Yu, Yassine, Goldberg and Chen (2003)
• Based on organizational theory
• Main property = DSMGA model builder (DSMcluster)
deals with overlapping building blocks
• The main issue = translate a populations or rules
into a dependency structure matrix (DSM)
• The intuition = specific bits are the ones responsible
for the kind of linkage we seek
GECCO 2007 Llorà, Sastry, Yu & Goldberg 20
21. Jumping to the Results
• DSMcluster model for the hidden XOR
– [i0 i1 i2] [i3] [i4] [i5]
• DSMcluster model for the 6-input multiplexer
– [i0 i1] <i2 i3 i4 i5>
– It identifies a BB [i0 i1] of variables interacting with a
bus <i2 i3 i4 i5>
– Translated into χeCCS language:
[i0 i1 i2] [i0 i1 i3] [i0 i1 i4] [i0 i1 i5]
– The right model which provides the right set of basis
GECCO 2007 Llorà, Sastry, Yu & Goldberg 21
22. Conclusions
• The matching process is crucial and expensive
• Efficient implementations can take us far to a point
• Relaxation can get rid of the need of matching
• For some types of problems overlapping BBs are
required
• DSMGA provides the proper machinery to identify
the proper basis for such a surrogate
