Abstract

A regularity model-based multiobjective estimation of distribution algorithm (RM-MEDA) has been proposed for continuous multiobjective optimization problems. Generating promising solutions to approximate the population is significant to RM-MEDA. In the reproduction of RM-MEDA, it adopts a Latin square design strategy to sample points in the latent space that is extended to cover the whole Pareto set. However, the setting of the extension scale is problem-dependent to some extent. To circumvent this issue, we propose a differential evolution based sampling (DES) scheme for RM-MEDA. DES mutates the projections of the parent solutions in the latent space to generate promising candidate offspring solutions. The empirical experiment results have shown the significant advantages of the DES scheme comparing to the Latin square design.
