Control parameter values are randomly sampled to satisfy theoretically derived stability conditions, eliminating the need for computatinally expensive parameter tuning. In addition, the feasibility of utilizing dynamically decreasing tournament sizes in the selection of the archive guide, as well as a ring neighbourhood topology, is investigated. The results show that random control parameter sampling is a viable alternative to static tuning, most notably when applied to higher numbers of objectives. However, the results show no clear benefit or detriment to utilizing dynamic tournament selection sizes and ring neighbourhood topologies.","PeriodicalId":109214,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Metaheuristics & Swarm Intelligence","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122064116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem can be divided into multiple subproblems when an arbitrary value is given to the first decision variable vector. In conventional genetic algorithms (GAs) for the problem, an individual is often expressed by the value of the first decision variable vector. In evaluating the individual, the value of the remaining decision variable vector is determined by metaheuristics or greedy algorithms. However, such GAs are time-consuming or not general-purpose. We propose a GA with a neural network model to estimate the optimal objective function values of the subproblems. Experimental results compared to other GAs show that the proposed method is effective.","PeriodicalId":109214,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Metaheuristics & Swarm Intelligence","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122115783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although NFV solves the shortcomings of traditional network function equip-ment such as high cost and difficult operation, it also brings certain challenges. Resource management in NFV is a complex problem because the resource requirements of Virtual Network Function (VNF) vary with the dynamic traffic, so it is necessary to under-stand the resource requirements of VNF. Due to the limited physical network resources, it is very important to find an effective resource prediction method. Based on Heterogeneous Information Network (HIN) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), we propose VNF-RPHIN, a method of the VNF resource requirement prediction based on traffic feature extraction. Firstly, we construct the HIN by the correlation between traffic features. Secondly, we use the HIN2Vec model to obtain the feature representation of each traffic feature. Finally, the attention mechanism is used to measure the importance of each feature, and different weights are assigned to each feature, and then they are input into the MLP model. The hidden relationship between traffic features is mined by HIN to predict the resource requirement of the VNF. The experimental results show that the proposed method has good performance and is superior to the traditional machine learning model and common deep learning model.","PeriodicalId":109214,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Metaheuristics & Swarm Intelligence","volume":"346 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133584883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patterns are evolved from random, often dull coloring of the image, to bright multi-color patterns that are aesthetically pleasing in nature. The main problem that this paper intends to solve is to introduce complete automation in the design process of patterns, which have historically been dependent upon human arbitrators to judge the quality of intermediate outputs. In its stead, the proposed algorithm evaluates the quality of the image using inherent latent features present in the image itself. Our algorithm takes into account the distribution of color, global contrast, and the overall dullness score of the image to evaluate the quality of the generated patterns. To create diverse patterns that feel more natural, different approaches are experimented with. These include the use of L-systems and image processing techniques, in a bid to construct a pattern which seems more human-like, rather than just rudimentary digital art.","PeriodicalId":109214,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Metaheuristics & Swarm Intelligence","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123896377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introducing new algorithms that inherit other algorithms’ operators and structures can improve the performance of the algorithm. Here, we proposed a hybrid multi-objective algorithm based on the operators of the genetic algorithm (GA) and teaching learning-based optimization (TLBO) and the structures of reference point-based (from NSGA-III) and R2 indicators methods. The new algorithm (R2-HMTLBO) improves diversity and convergence by using NSGA-III and R2-based TLBO, respectively. Also, to enhance the algorithm performance, an elite archive is proposed. The proposed multi-objective algorithm is evaluated on 19 benchmark test problems and compared to four state-of-the-art algorithms. IGD metric is applied for comparison, and the results reveal that the proposed R2-HMTLBO outperforms MOEA/D, MOMBI-II, and MOEA/IGD-NS significantly in 16/19 tests, 14/19 tests and 13/19 tests, respectively.

Most Surveillance Video Systems can only retrieve footage based on its metadata, (date, time, camera location, etc.) which limits the diversity of meaningful footage intended to be retrieved by the user. To solve this, a content-based video retrieval framework was proposed to retrieve relevant videos based on their content and match it to the user's query. This framework composes of two (2) methods: A method for Video Content Extraction that utilizes Google's Video Intelligence API for Optical Character Recognition and Label Detection, and a method for Video Retrieval. Various setups for the Video Retrieval method are explored; this includes the usage of SBERT and Okapi BM25. Each setup was tested against various text queries with equivalent test video results based on the MSVD dataset. To measure each setup's performance in terms of relevance, Recall and Precision at K and Median and Mean Rank were used. It was concluded that the framework composed of the Video Intelligence API along with SBERT alone performed better than the other proposed setup for returning videos relevant to the user's text query more accurately than the other setups of the method.","PeriodicalId":109214,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Metaheuristics & Swarm Intelligence","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122449638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rise of bots in social network platforms has led to malicious activities such as content pollution like spammers or malware dissemination of misinformation. Most of the researchers focused on detecting bot accounts in social media platforms to avoid the damages done to the opinions of users. In this work, n-gram based approach is proposed for a bot or human detection. The content-based features of character n-grams and word n-grams are used. The character and word n-grams are successfully proved in various authorship analysis tasks to improve accuracy. A huge number of n-grams is identified after applying different pre-processing techniques. The high dimensionality of features is reduced by using a feature selection technique of the Relevant Discrimination Criterion. The text is represented as vectors by using a reduced set of features. Different term weight measures are used in the experiment to compute the weight of n-grams features in the document vector representation. Two classification algorithms, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest are used to train the model using document vectors. The proposed approach was applied to the dataset provided in PAN 2019 competition bot detection task. The Random Forest classifier obtained the best accuracy of 0.9456 for bot/human detection.","PeriodicalId":109214,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Metaheuristics & Swarm Intelligence","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116691848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The challenge is to design a car controller that passes the next three arising waypoints faster than an opponent car controller. Two fuzzy controllers are compared to two evolutionary optimized controllers in solo races as well as in head-to-head competitions, where all controllers compete head-to-head against the other controllers. The influence of some parameter settings is investigated as well. The results emphasize the robustness of the fuzzy controllers, not differing much from each other. Overall, the fuzzy controllers perform better with different parameter settings of the driving physics except when reverse speed is equal to forward speed.","PeriodicalId":109214,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2022 6th International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Metaheuristics & Swarm Intelligence","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121130063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
