专家简介：Xin Yao is a Chair (Professor) of Computer Science and the Director of CERCIA (Centre of Excellence for Research in Computational Intelligence and Applications) at the University of Birmingham, UK. He is an IEEE Fellow and the President (2014-15) of IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS). He won the 2001 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award, 2010 IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation Outstanding Paper Award, 2010 BT Gordon Radley Award for Best Author of Innovation (Finalist), 2011 IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks Outstanding Paper Award, and many other best paper awards. He won the prestigious Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award in 2012 and the IEEE CIS Evolutionary Computation Pioneer Award in 2013. His major research interests include evolutionary computation, ensemble learning, and real-world applications.
报告摘要：Evolutionary computation has enjoyed an incredible growth in recent years. This talk will highlight a few recent examples in evolutionary computation in terms of its applications, including data-driven modelling using the evolutionary approach in materials engineering, dynamic route optimization for salting trucks, multi-objective design of hardware and software, neural network ensemble learning for pattern classification, and online ensemble learning in the presence of concept drifts. The primary objective of this talk is to illustrate novel applications of various evolutionary computation techniques, rather than to go into depth on any of the examples. However, I would be delighted to go into the depth on any of the topics if there is an interest.
