| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we systematically study the influence of the population structure for the evolutionary algorithms (EA). We construct a novel information interaction network of the population (PIN) to extract the characteristics of the search dynamics in EA, and then analyze the design of effective search algorithm from the perspective of structure. The distribution of node degree in PIN is introduced, based on which several algorithms (e.g., differential evolution) are improved in terms of solution accuracy and population diversity. Furthermore, the performance of improved algorithms are verified by applying them on various problems, such as multivalued network learning, dendritic neuron learning, protein structure prediction, and so on.
