There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Creating Human-competitive Algorithms using Multiple Objective Vector-based Genetic Programming
Committee:

Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to increase the Georgia Tech Multiple Objective Evolutionary Programming (GTMOEP) framework's capabilities by seeking methods to reduce compute time and produce solutions in fewer evaluations. In order to reduce the number of individuals needed to reach optimal solutions we seek methods that will increase the viability of offspring. The ideas proposed here include the concept of a fuzzy Pareto front, identifying species in the population, strategic selection of data for evolution, and techniques for working with larger numbers of objectives. We would also like to demonstrate performance on a time domain or spatial domain problem, showcasing GTMOEPs capability to create and leverage features from higher dimensional data.
