Multi-surrogate Assisted Efficient Global Optimization for Discrete Problems

IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI), vol. 13, pp. 1650–1658

Abstract

Decades of progress in simulation-based surrogate assisted optimization and unprecedented growth in computational power have enabled researchers and practitioners to optimize previously intractable complex engineering problems. This paper investigates the possible benefit of a concurrent utilization of multiple simulation-based surrogate models to solve complex discrete optimization problems. To fulfill this, the so-called Self-Adaptive Multi-surrogate Assisted Efficient Global Optimization algorithm (SAMA-DiEGO), which features a two-stage online model management strategy, is proposed and further benchmarked on fifteen binary-encoded combinatorial and fifteen ordinal problems against several state-of-the-art non-surrogate or single surrogate assisted optimization algorithms. Our findings indicate that SAMA-DiEGO can rapidly converge to better solutions on a majority of the test problems which shows the feasibility and advantage of using multiple surrogate models in optimizing discrete problems.
