Single objective optimization algorithms are the foundation of establishing more complex methods, like constrained optimization, niching and multi-objective algorithms. Therefore, improvements to single objective optimization algorithms are important because they can impact other domains as well. This paper proposes a method using turning-based mutation that is aimed to solve the problem of premature convergence of algorithms based on SHADE (Success-History based Adaptive Differential Evolution) in high dimensional search space. The proposed method is tested on the Single Objective Bound Constrained Numerical Optimization (CEC2020) benchmark sets in 5, 10, 15, and 20 dimensions for all SHADE, L-SHADE, and jSO algorithms. The effectiveness of the method is verified by population diversity measure and population clustering analysis. In addition, the new versions (Tb-SHADE, TbL-SHADE and Tb-jSO) using the proposed turning-based mutation get apparently better optimization results than the original algorithms (SHADE, L-SHADE, and jSO) as well as the advanced DISH and the jDE100 algorithms in 10, 15, and 20 dimensional functions, but only have advantages compared with the advanced j2020 algorithm in 5 dimensional functions.

In this paper, an improved hybrid Differential Evolution (DE) is proposed to enhance optimization performance by cooperating Dynamic Scaling Mutation (DSM) and Wrapper Local Search (WLS) schemes. When evolution speed is standstill, DSM can improve searching ability to achieve better balance between exploitation and exploration in the search space. Furthermore, WLS can disturb individuals to fine tune the searching range around and then properly find better solutions in the evolution progress. The effective particle encoding representation named Particle Segment Operation-Machine Assignment (PSOMA) that we previously published is also applied to always produce feasible candidate solutions for hybrid DE model to solve the Flexible Job-Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP). To test the performance of the proposed hybrid method, the experiments contain five frequently used CEC 2005 numerical functions and three representative FJSP benchmarks for single-objective and multi-objective optimization verifications, respectively. Compare the proposed method with the other related published algorithms, the simulation results indicate that our proposed method exhibits better performance for solving most the test functions for single-objective problems. In addition, the wide range of Pareto-optimal solutions and the more Gantt chart diversities can be obtained for the multi-objective FJSP in practical decision-making considerations.

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Feature selection is an essential step in various tasks, where filter feature selection algorithms are increasingly attractive due to their simplicity and fast speed. A common filter is to use mutual information to estimate the relationships between each feature and the class labels (mutual relevancy), and between each pair of features (mutual redundancy). This strategy has gained popularity resulting a variety of criteria based on mutual information. Other well-known strategies are to order each feature based on the nearest neighbor distance as in ReliefF, and based on the between-class variance and the within-class variance as in Fisher Score. However, each strategy comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. This paper proposes a new filter criterion inspired by the concepts of mutual information, ReliefF and Fisher Score. Instead of using mutual redundancy, the proposed criterion tries to choose the highest ranked features determined by ReliefF and Fisher Score while providing the mutual relevance between features and the class labels. Based on the proposed criterion, two new differential evolution (DE) based filter approaches are developed. While the former uses the proposed criterion as a single objective problem in a weighted manner, the latter considers the proposed criterion in a multi-objective design. Moreover, a well known mutual information feature selection approach (MIFS) based on maximum-relevance and minimum-redundancy is also adopted in single-objective and multi-objective DE algorithms for feature selection. The results show that the proposed criterion outperforms MIFS in both single objective and multi-objective DE frameworks. The results also indicate that considering feature selection as a multi-objective problem can generally provide better performance in terms of the feature subset size and the classification accuracy. © This manuscript version is made available under the CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
