Exploiting local information in crossover

Title: Selective Crossover: Towards Fitter Offspring
Authors: C.K. Mohan
Status: Tech. Report SU-EECS TR 97-1, Dept. of EECS, Syracuse University, Aug. 1997.
Abstract: A new general-purpose crossover operator is proposed. The representation of a candidate solution is slightly perturbed, and the ensuing changes in fitness are calculated. Such fitness changes (for parents) are used in constructing the offspring resulting from crossover. Experiments with several sets of problems demonstrate that this approach leads to rapid increases in average and best fitness, and performs much better than traditional general-purpose crossover operators.

Crossover with Hebbian learning

Title: Adaptive Linkage Crossover
Authors: A.Salman, K.Mehrotra and C.K.Mohan
Status: Tech. Report SU-EECS TR 97-2, Dept. of EECS, Syracuse University, Aug. 1997.
Abstract: Linkage crossover is a new operator that can utilize problem-specific linkages, motivated by probabilistic inference methodology. A new adaptive algorithm learns the nature of such linkages, and applies the learned linkage knowledge to solve the problem. Experimental results demonstrate that solutions better than traditional crossover operators are obtained, and the linkage adaptation process converges to meaningful linkage values.

Other Topics:

Title: The Reconstruction-Majorization Problem
Authors: A. Menon, K. Mehrotra, and C. Mohan
Status: Submitted for publication.
Abstract: Majorization orderings are useful in comparing discrete probability distributions, and members of a reconstruction family, defined as a set of discrete, multivariate probability vectors with a common set of specified marginals. In this paper, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions under which one member of a reconstruction family majorizes another. Our conditions are independent of the given distribution, subject to some restrictions; we exploit the concept of Stiemke matrices in these results. We also obtain results that solve the more general problem of determining the conditions under which a majorization ordering exists between two real vectors satisfying a common set of linear inequalities. We then investigate conditions under which a maximum entropy distribution is majorized by another that belongs to the same reconstruction family. These results are particularly relevant in the context of probabilistic databases.
