Benchmarking of evolutionary algorithms
Kostiha, Petr ; Matoušek, Radomil (referee) ; Kůdela, Jakub (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the benchmarking of surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms, an area that has not yet been explored as deeply as traditional evolutionary methods. The aim is to identify and analyze the best available algorithms of this type and highlight their potential applications. The paper begins with the definition of an optimization problem, followed by a theoretical overview of benchmarking, its significance, and tools. Subsequently, selected evolutionary methods are detailed and then implemented in MATLAB software for the experimental part of the work. Out of eight tested methods, the SAMSO method proved to be the most effective, along with the LSADE, ESA, and TS-DDEO methods. The results show that these methods offer significant potential for solving complex optimization problems and open up new possibilities for further research in this field.

Evolutionary Algorithms for Multiobjective Optimization
Pilát, Martin ; Neruda, Roman (advisor) ; Schoenauer, Marc (referee) ; Pošík, Petr (referee)
Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms have gained a lot of atten- tion in the recent years. They have proven to be among the best multi-objective optimizers and have been used in many industrial ap- plications. However, their usability is hindered by the large number of evaluations of the objective functions they require. These can be expensive when solving practical tasks. In order to reduce the num- ber of objective function evaluations, surrogate models can be used. These are a simple and fast approximations of the real objectives. In this work we present the results of research made between the years 2009 and 2013. We present a multi-objective evolutionary algo- rithm with aggregate surrogate model, its newer version, which also uses a surrogate model for the pre-selection of individuals. In the next part we discuss the problem of selection of a particular type of model. We show which characteristics of the various models are im- portant and desirable and provide a framework which combines sur- rogate modeling with meta-learning. Finally, in the last part, we ap- ply multi-objective optimization to the problem of hyper-parameters tuning. We show that additional objectives can make finding of good parameters for classifiers faster. 1

Evolutionary algorithms and active learning
Repický, Jakub ; Holeňa, Martin (advisor) ; Fink, Jiří (referee)
Názov práce: Evoluční algoritmy a aktivní učení Autor: Jakub Repický Katedra: Katedra teoretické informatiky a matematické logiky Vedúci diplomovej práce: doc. RNDr. Ing. Martin Holeňa, CSc., Ústav informa- tiky, Akademie věd České republiky Abstrakt: Vyhodnotenie ciel'ovej funkcie v úlohách spojitej optimalizácie často do- minuje výpočtovej náročnosti algoritmu. Platí to najmä v prípade black-box fun- kcií, t. j. funkcií, ktorých analytický popis nie je známy a ktoré sú vyhodnocované empiricky. Témou urýchl'ovania black-box optimalizácie s pomocou náhradných modelov ciel'ovej funkcie sa zaoberá vel'a autorov a autoriek. Ciel'om tejto dip- lomovej práce je vyhodnotit' niekol'ko metód, ktoré prepájajú náhradné modely založené na Gaussovských procesoch (GP) s Evolučnou stratégiou adaptácie ko- variančnej matice (CMA-ES). Gaussovské procesy umožňujú aktívne učenie, pri ktorom sú body pre vyhodnotenie vyberané s ciel'om zlepšit' presnost' modelu. Tradičné náhradné modely založené na GP zah'rňajú Metamodelom asistovanú evolučnú stratégiu (MA-ES) a Optimalizačnú procedúru pomocou Gaussovských procesov (GPOP). Pre účely tejto práce boli oba prístupy znovu implementované a po prvý krát vyhodnotené na frameworku Black-Box...
