Multi-objective cultural algorithms
… evolutionary optimization has focused on single-objective problems. On the contrary, most real-world problems involve more than one objective where these objectives may conflict with each other. </p> <p>The newest implementation of the Cultural Algorithms to solve multi-objective optimization is …

Objective Evaluation of Tracheoesophageal Speech Quality
… rehabilitation. It is also beneficial to have objective measures of speech quality as opposed to subjective, in order to save time, money and other such resources. Objective measures of speech quality are typically divided into two groups: “intrusive” and “non-intrusive” measures. Intrusive …

Subjective and objective vehicle handling behaviour
… project seeking to correlate subjective and objective measures of automobile handling. An underlying goal of the work was to demonstrate how a relatively simple lumped parameter model, suitable for effective use at the early stages of vehicle design, could be used to predict both the …

Multiple-objective sensor management and optimisation
… target tracking and other system-level objectives relating to expected operating lifetime are explored in an autonomous ground sensor scenario. This is achieved by modelling the observer trajectory control design as a probabilistic, information-theoretic, multiple-objective optimisation …

Multi-objective optimisation with financial applications
Portfolio Optimisation is a multi-objective problem which involves finding the allocation of shares in a portfolio that optimises the likely return for a level of risk which an investor is prepared to tolerate. There have been several multi-objective evolutionary algorithms that have been used to …

Objective Measures of Tinnitus in Humans
… of this dissertation research was to evaluate objective measures that could be used to diagnose tinnitus and possibly subtype different forms of tinnitus. To determine if group differences existed between individuals with severe tinnitus compared to a non-tinnitus control group, non-invasive …

Multi-objective optimisation under deep uncertainty
… for dealing with deep uncertainty in Multi-Objective Optimisation (MOO)/MCDM problems. The proposed method extends the concept of two-stage stochastic programming with recourse to address the capability of dealing with deep uncertainty through the use of scenario planning rather than …

Research on objective speech quality measurements
This is a thesis dissertation on objective speech quality measures. Two objective measures, Enhanced Modified Bark Spectral Distortion (EMBSD) and Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) were included in this study. The scope of the study covers the evaluation of EMBSD and PESQ in predicting …

Multi-Objective Optimization for Public Policy
… factors: (i) policymakers must balance multiple objectives that often exist in tension, e.g., tradeoffs in efficiency and fairness; (ii) there are many stakeholders, with often disparate value judgments on how to best balance said objectives; and (iii) those stakeholders may not be technically …

Multi-Objective optimization of arch bridges
… optimized in each case. Furthermore, a multi-objective optimization process was run on the bridge to examine the tradeoffs between the deflection and the self-weight. The weight-oriented optimization allows saving more than 60% of the weight compared to the original structure. Analyzing the …

Objective assessment of manufacturing technology investments
… Process (AHP) is introduced. The AHP is an objective, group decision-making approach. For usability and sustainability, commercial software from Expert Choice was used in case studies to validate AHP as a decisionmaking approach within Amgen. One case study looked at options to upgrade a …

Objective functions for nonlinear structural analysis
An objective function that is suitable for both stable and unstable equilibrium states since it is guaranteed to assume a relative minimum at any equilibrium state is presented. The objective function, which is the inner product of the equations of equilibrium (algorithm 2), is compared with …

Multi-objective Optimization in Traffic Signal Control
… the simulation is very time-consuming. Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) are in many ways superior to traditional search methods. They have been widely utilized in traffic signal optimization problems. However, running MOEAs on traffic optimization problems using microscopic …

Novel optimizers for multi-objective deep learning
… balancing (trade-off) between conflicting objectives, so they must be treated as Multi-objective Optimization problems. Multi-objective optimizers are suitable for training machine learning algorithms as they can minimize several loss functions simultaneously. Additionally, providing a set …

Reducing remodularization complexity through modular-objective decoupling
This dissertation defines "modular-objective coupling", and shows that programming language designs which imply reduced modular-objective coupling reduce complexity of remodularizations--behaviour-preserving restructurings for which the only intended goals are to change program source code …

Automated assessment of non-objective textual submissions.
… the methodology of automated marking of non-objective textual submissions. In so doing he tasked himself to discover how far automated assessment of text could be applied in the range of submissions from the single word to a multi-sentence, multi-paragraph piece of text. In the course of his …
