Machine Learning Assisted Evolutionary Multi- and Many- Objective Optimization (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)
by Dhish Kumar Saxena Sukrit Mittal Kalyanmoy Deb Erik D. GoodmanThis book focuses on machine learning (ML) assisted evolutionary multi- and many-objective optimization (EMâO). EMâO algorithms, namely EMâOAs, iteratively evolve a set of solutions towards a good Pareto Front approximation.

Recognizing the immense potential for ML-based enhancements in the EMâO domain, this book intends to serve as an exclusive resource for both domain novices and the experienced researchers and practitioners. To achieve this goal, the book first covers the foundations of optimization, including problem and algorithm types. Then, well-structured chapters present some of the key studies on ML-based enhancements in the EMâO domain, systematically addressing important aspects. These include learning to understand the problem structure, converge better, diversify better, simultaneously converge and diversify better, and analyze the Pareto Front. In doing so, this book broadly summarizes the literature, beginning with foundational work on innovization (2003) and objective reduction (2006), and extending to the most recently proposed innovized progress operators (2021-23). It also highlights the utility of ML interventions in the search, post-optimality, and decision-making phases pertaining to the use of EMâOAs. Finally, this book shares insightful perspectives on the future potential for ML based enhancements in the EMâOA domain.To aid readers, the book includes working codes for the developed algorithms. This book will not only strengthen this emergent theme but also encourage ML researchers to develop more efficient and scalable methods that cater to the requirements of the EMâOA domain.

Machine Learning-Augmented Spectroscopies for Intelligent Materials Design (Springer Theses)
by Nina AndrejevicThe thesis contains several pioneering results at the intersection of state-of-the-art materials characterization techniques and machine learning. The use of machine learning empowers the information extraction capability of neutron and photon spectroscopies. In particular, new knowledge and new physics insights to aid spectroscopic analysis may hold great promise for next-generation quantum technology. As a prominent example, the so-called proximity effect at topological material interfaces promises to enable spintronics without energy dissipation and quantum computing with fault tolerance, yet the characteristic spectral features to identify the proximity effect have long been elusive. The work presented within permits a fine resolution of its spectroscopic features and a determination of the proximity effect which could aid further experiments with improved interpretability. A few novel machine learning architectures are proposed in this thesis work which leverage the case when the data is scarce and utilize the internal symmetry of the system to improve the training quality. The work sheds light on future pathways to apply machine learning to augment experiments.

A Machine Learning based Pairs Trading Investment Strategy (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Simão Moraes Sarmento Nuno HortaThis book investigates the application of promising machine learning techniques to address two problems: (i) how to find profitable pairs while constraining the search space and (ii) how to avoid long decline periods due to prolonged divergent pairs.

Machine Learning-based Prediction of Missing Parts for Assembly (Findings from Production Management Research)
by Fabian SteinbergManufacturing companies face challenges in managing increasing process complexity while meeting demands for on-time delivery, particularly evident during critical processes like assembly. The early identification of potential missing parts at the beginning assembly emerges as a crucial strategy to uphold delivery commitments. This book embarks on developing machine learning-based prediction models to tackle this challenge. Through a systemic literature review, deficiencies in current predictive methodologies are highlighted, notably the underutilization of material data and a late prediction capability within the procurement process. Through case studies within the machine industry a significant influence of material data on the quality of models predicting missing parts from in-house production was verified. Further, a model for predicting delivery delays in the purchasing process was implemented, which makes it possible to predict potential missing parts from suppliers at the time of ordering. These advancements serve as indispensable tools for production planners and procurement professionals, empowering them to proactively address material availability challenges for assembly operations.
