  • Efficient program generation by evolving graph structures with multi-start nodes

    Shingo Mabu, Kotaro Hirasawa

    APPLIED SOFT COMPUTING   11 ( 4 ) 3618 - 3624  2011.06

     View Summary

    Automatic program generation is one of the applicable fields of evolutionary computation, and Genetic Programming (GP) is the typical method for this field. On the other hand, Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed as an extended algorithm of GP in terms of gene structures. GNP is a graph-based evolutionary algorithm and applied to automatic program generation in this paper. GNP has directed graph structures which have some features inherently, for example, re-usability of nodes and the small number of nodes. These features contribute to creating complicated programs with compact structures and never cause bloat. In this paper, the extended algorithm of GNP is proposed, which can create plural programs simultaneously in one individual by using multi-start nodes. In addition, GNP can evolve the programs in one individual considering the fitness and also its standard deviation in order to evolve the plural programs efficiently. In the simulations, Even-n-Parity problem and Mirror Symmetry problem are used for the performance evaluation, and the results show that the proposed method outperforms the standard GNP with single start node.

  • Dynamic Optimal Route Search Algorithm for Car Navigation Systems with Preferences by Dynamic Programming

    Manoj Kanta Mainali, Shingo Mabu, Shanqing Yu, Shinji Eto, Kotaro Hirasawa

    IEEJ TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING   6 ( 1 ) 14 - 22  2011.01

     View Summary

    Optimal route search to the destination is one of the most important functions of car navigation devices. The development of road traffic infrastructure has made it possible to receive real-time information of the traffic situation. Route search algorithms for car navigation devices make use of this information to avoid the traffic congestions. Such algorithms should find the new optimal route efficiently when the traffic situation changes. Usually, the minimum traveling time or distance is considered to define the optimal route. However, the minimum traveling time or distance is not always what the user is looking for. The user may prefer to travel on a certain route even at the cost of traveling time or distance. Car navigation devices should consider such preferences when finding the optimal route. In this paper, we propose a dynamic programming algorithm to find the optimal route considering that it should deal with the changes of the traffic situation and multiple criteria. The proposed method uses the information from the previous computation to find the new optimal route considering user preferences when the traveling time of the road section changes. The proposed method was applied to a real road network to find the optimal route. Results show that the proposed method can find the user-preferred optimal route. Simulation results also show better calculation time of the proposed method compared to the Dijkstra algorithm. (C) 2010 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

     View Summary

    As the Internet services spread all over the world, many kinds and a large number of security threats are increasing. Therefore, intrusion detection systems, which can effectively detect intrusion accesses, have attracted attention. This paper describes a novel fuzzy class-association-rule mining method based on genetic network programming (GNP) for detecting network intrusions. GNP is an evolutionary optimization technique, which uses directed graph structures instead of strings in genetic algorithm or trees in genetic programming, which leads to enhancing the representation ability with compact programs derived from the reusability of nodes in a graph structure. By combining fuzzy set theory with GNP, the proposed method can deal with the mixed database that contains both discrete and continuous attributes and also extract many important class-association rules that contribute to enhancing detection ability. Therefore, the proposed method can be flexibly applied to both misuse and anomaly detection in network-intrusion-detection problems. Experimental results with KDD99Cup and DARPA98 databases from MIT Lincoln Laboratory show that the proposed method provides competitively high detection rates compared with other machine-learning techniques and GNP with crisp data mining.

    Lu Yu, Shingo Mabu, Kotaro Hirasawa

    IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering   6 ( 1 ) S65 - S73  2011

     View Summary

    Elevator group control systems are the transportation systems for handling passengers in the buildings. With the increasing demand for high-rise buildings, it becomes important to improve the elevator service. The multicar elevators consist of plural cars in a single elevator shaft. It contributes to the improvement in passengers' handling capacity, while allowing the reduction of the space occupied in the building. In contrast with traditional elevator systems, the cars can no longer operate freely, where there are several restrictions on their available movements. This requires a more difficult control including stochastic scheduling with high combinatorial complexity in order to make the system more flexible. At present, lots of buildings with more than 40 floors are being built, which are usually divided into several zones served by local elevator groups. In addition, the cars should be operated at equal time intervals, especially in such a building with multicar elevator systems (MCES) in order to obtain its good performance. Genetic network programming (GNP), one of the evolutionary computations, can realize a rule-based MCES due to its directed graph structure of the individual, which makes the system more flexible. This paper discusses MCES using GNP in high-rise buildings. Also, the positions of elevators are considered to avoid the bunching phenomenon. The performance of MCES is studied and compared with single-deck elevator system (SDES) and double-deck elevator system (DDES). © 2010 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

  • An Efficient Preprocessing Method for Suboptimal Route Computation

    IEEJ TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING   6 ( S1 ) S50 - S56  2011

     View Summary

    In this paper, an effective genetic-based clustering algorithm (GCA) is proposed to preprocess the road network into a multilevel network that can reduce the route computation time substantially. Based on the multilevel network, route computation algorithms can provide suboptimal routes with little loss of accuracy (LOA). The geographic information of the road network is considered when constructing the multilevel network. In the proposed GCA, three criteria are considered to evaluate the clustering results. Route calculation results based on the multilevel network constructed by the proposed GCA are compared with the recent research to analyze and quantify the LOA.

  • A Genetic Algorithm Based Clustering Method for Optimal Route Calculation on Multilevel Networks

    WEN Feng, MABU Shingo, HIRASAWA Kotaro

    SICE JCMSI   4 ( 1 ) 83 - 88  2011

     View Summary

    This paper introduces a multilevel road network model to speed up the optimal route calculation on large size road networks by preprocessing and pre-computing. The multilevel road network is constructed by separating a large network into several smaller sub-networks and pushing up the boundary nodes. The new road sections on the multilevel network are decided by pre-computing the shortest path between the boundary nodes of each sub-network in a hierarchical manner. To optimize the structure of the multilevel road network, an effective genetic algorithm based clustering method is proposed, which can reduce the number of boundary nodes and road sections between boundary nodes of each sub-network greatly. Experimental results show that the proposed approach significantly reduces the search space of the route calculation algorithm over existing methods.

  • EvoCMAR: A New Evolutionary Method to Directly Mine Association Rules for Classification

    Guangfei Yang, Shingo Mabu, Kaoru Shimada, Kotaro Hirasawa

    IEEJ TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING   5 ( 5 ) 574 - 585  2010.09

     View Summary

    In this paper, we propose an evolutionary method with a three-layer structure to directly mine association rules for classification. The association rules have been demonstrated to be useful for classification, such as classification based on association rule (CBA) and classification method based on multiple association rule (CMAR), and they are found to be more accurate than some traditional methods, such as C4.5. Generally speaking, there are two phases in an associative classification method: (i) association rules mining; (ii) classification by association rules. However, the two phases are almost separated, viz, during the first phase, the mining of association rules does not focus on classification. Moreover, when building the classifier in the second phase, most of the association rues will be pruned. As a result, if we are able to directly mine the classification association rules, we can save time. Meanwhile, we can expect even better accuracy because the mining procedure itself considers the classification. In this paper, we build a novel evolutionary method, named evolutionary classification method based on multiple association rule (EvoCMAR), to tackle these problems, and the simulation results show that it performs well in both accuracy and speed.

     View Summary

    Because of the expansion of the Internet in recent years, computer systems are exposed to an increasing number and type of security threats. How to detect network intrusions effectively becomes an important technique. This paper proposes a class association rule mining approach based on genetic network programming (GNP) for detecting network intrusions. This approach can deal with both discrete and continuous attributes in network-related data. And it can be flexibly applied to both misuse detection and anomaly detection. Experimental results with KDD99Cup and DARPA98 database from MIT Lincoln Laboratory shows that the proposed method provides a competitive high detection rate (DR) compared to other machine learning techniques.

  • EvoCMAR: A New Evolutionary Method to Directly Mine Association Rules for Classification

    IEEJ TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING   5 ( 5 ) 574 - 585  2010.09

     View Summary

    In this paper, we propose an evolutionary method with a three-layer structure to directly mine association rules for classification. The association rules have been demonstrated to be useful for classification, such as classification based on association rule (CBA) and classification method based on multiple association rule (CMAR), and they are found to be more accurate than some traditional methods, such as C4.5. Generally speaking, there are two phases in an associative classification method: (i) association rules mining; (ii) classification by association rules. However, the two phases are almost separated, viz, during the first phase, the mining of association rules does not focus on classification. Moreover, when building the classifier in the second phase, most of the association rues will be pruned. As a result, if we are able to directly mine the classification association rules, we can save time. Meanwhile, we can expect even better accuracy because the mining procedure itself considers the classification. In this paper, we build a novel evolutionary method, named evolutionary classification method based on multiple association rule (EvoCMAR), to tackle these problems, and the simulation results show that it performs well in both accuracy and speed.

     View Summary

    As an extension of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP), a new approach named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed in the evolutionary computation field. GNP uses multiple reusable nodes to construct directed-graph structures to represent its solutions. Recently, many research has clarified that GNP can work well in data mining area. In this paper, a novel evolutionary paradigm named GNP with Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (GNP-EDAs) is proposed and used to solve traffic prediction problems using class association rule mining. In GNP-EDAs, a probabilistic model is constructed by estimating the probability distribution from the selected elite individuals of the previous generation to replace the conventional genetic operators, such as crossover and mutation. The probabilistic model is capable of enhancing the evolution to achieve the ultimate objective. In this paper, two methods are proposed based on extracting the probabilistic information on the node connections and node transitions of GNP-EDAs to construct the probabilistic model. A comparative study of the proposed paradigm and the conventional GNP is made to solve the traffic prediction problems using class association rule mining. The simulation results showed that GNP-EDAs can extract the class association rules more effectively, when the number of the candidate class association rules increases. And the classification accuracy of the proposed method shows good results in traffic prediction systems. © 2010 IEEE.

     View Summary

    A method of association rule mining from incomplete databases is proposed using Genetic Network Programming (GNP). GNP is one of the evolutionary optimization techniques, which uses the directed graph structure. An incomplete database includes missing data in some tuples. Previous rule mining approaches cannot handle incomplete data directly. The proposed method can extract rules directly from incomplete data without generating frequent itemsets used in conventional approaches. In this paper, the proposed method is combined with difference rule mining using GNP for flexible association analysis. We have evaluated the performances of the rule extraction from incomplete medical datasets generated by random missing values. In addition, artificial missing values for privacy hiding are considered using the proposed method. Copyright 2010 ACM.

     View Summary

    Most of the classification methods proposed produces too many rules for humans to read over, that is, the number of generated rules is thousands or millions which means complex and hardly understandable for the users. In this paper, a new post-processing pruning method for class association rules is proposed by a combination of statistics and an evolutionary method named Genetic Relation Algorithm (GRA). The algorithm is carried out in two phases. In the first phase the rules are pruned depending on their matching degree and in the second phase GRA selects the most interesting rules using the distance between them and their strength.

    Financial innovation is continuously testing the asset selection models, which are the key both for building robust portfolios and for managing diversified risk. This paper describes a novel evolutionary based scheme for the asset selection using Robust Genetic Network Programming(r-GNP). The distinctive feature of r-GNP lies in its generalization ability when building the optimal asset selection model, in which several training environments are used throughout the evolutionary approach to avoid the over-fitting problem to the training data. Simulation using stocks, bonds and currencies in developed financial markets show competitive advantages over conventional asset selection schemes. © 2010 IEEE.

     View Summary

    Many classical methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Genetic Programming (GP), Evolutionary Strategies (ES), etc. have accomplished significant contribution to the study of evolutionary computation. And in the past decade, a new approach named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed. It is designed for especially solving complex problems in dynamic environments. Generally speaking, GNP is based on the algorithms of existed classical evolutionary computation techniques and uses the data structure of directed graphs which becomes the unique feature of GNP. So far, many studies have indicated that GNP can solve the complex problems in the dynamic environments very efficiently and effectively. Focusing on GNP's distinguished expression ability of the graph structure, this paper proposes an enhanced architecture for the standard GNP in order to improve the performance of GNP by using the exploited information extensively during the evolution process of GNP. In the enhanced architecture, the important gene information of the elite individuals is extracted and accumulated during evolution. And among the accumulated information, some of them are selected and encapsulated in the Route Nodes which are used to guide the evolution process. In this paper, the proposed architecture has been applied to the tile-world which is an excellent bench mark for evaluating the evolutionary computation architecture. The performance of the GNP with Route Nodes (GNP-RN) is compared with the conventional GNP. The simulation results show some merits of the proposed method over the conventional GNPs demonstrating its superiority.

Then, the classification system based on extracted time related association rules is proposed to estimate to which class the current traffic data belong. Using this kind of classification mechanism, the traffic prediction is available since the rules extracted are based on time sequences. And, we also present the experimental results on the traffic prediction problem. © 2010 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

     View Summary

    Two flexible rule mining methods from incomplete database are proposed using Genetic Network Programing (GNP). GNP is one of the evolutionary optimization techniques, which uses the directed graph structure. One of the methods extracts the rules showing the different characteristics between different classes in a database. The method can obtain the rules like 'if P then Q' is interesting only in the focusing class. The other one mines interesting rules like even if itemset X and Y have weak or no statistical relation to class item C, the join of X and Y has strong relation to class item C. An incomplete database includes missing data in some tuples. Generally, it is not easy for Apriori-like methods to extract difference rules and exception rules from incomplete database. We have estimated the performances of the rule extraction using incomplete data in the environmental and medical field.

     View Summary

    This paper proposes a new strategy β-GRA for portfolio selection in which the return and risk are considered as measures of strength in Genetic Relation Algorithm (GRA). Since the portfolio beta β efficiently measures the volatility relative to the benchmark index or the capital market, β is usually employed for portfolio evaluation or prediction, but scarcely for portfolio construction process. The main objective of this paper is to propose an integrated portfolio selection strategy, which selects stocks based on β using GRA. GRA is a new evolutionary algorithm designed to solve the optimization problem due to its special structure. We illustrate the proposed strategy by experiments and compare the results with those derived from the traditional models. © 2010 IEEE.

     View Summary

    As an extension of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP), a new approach named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed in the evolutionary computation field. GNP uses multiple reusable nodes to construct directed-graph structures to represent its solutions. Recently, many research has clarified that GNP can work well in data mining area. In this paper, a novel evolutionary paradigm named GNP with Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (GNP-EDAs) is proposed and used to solve traffic prediction problems using class association rule mining. In GNP-EDAs, a probabilistic model is constructed by estimating the probability distribution from the selected elite individuals of the previous generation to replace the conventional genetic operators, such as crossover and mutation. The probabilistic model is capable of enhancing the evolution to achieve the ultimate objective. In this paper, two methods are proposed based on extracting the probabilistic information on the node connections and node transitions of GNP-EDAs to construct the probabilistic model. A comparative study of the proposed paradigm and the conventional GNP is made to solve the traffic prediction problems using class association rule mining. The simulation results showed that GNP-EDAs can extract the class association rules more effectively, when the number of the candidate class association rules increases. And the classification accuracy of the proposed method shows good results in traffic prediction systems. © 2010 IEEE.

  • Genetic network programming with generalized rule accumulation

    Lutao Wang, Shingo Mabu, Qingbiao Meng, Kotaro Hirasawa

    2010 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence, WCCI 2010 - 2010 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2010   Barcelona   2681 - 2687  2010

     View Summary

    Genetic Network Programming(GNP) is a newly developed evolutionary computation method using a directed graph as its gene structure, which is its unique feature. It is competent for dealing with complex problems in dynamic environments and is now being well studied and applied to many real-world problems such as: elevator supervisory control, stock price prediction, traffic volume forecast and data mining, etc. This paper proposes a new method to accumulate evolutionary experiences and guide agent's actions by extracting and using generalized rules. Each generalized rule is a state-action chain which contains the past information and the current information. These generalized rules are accumulated and updated in the evolutionary period and stored in the rule pool which serves as an experience set for guiding new agent's actions. We designed a two-stage architecture for the proposed method and applied it to the Tile-world problem, which is an excellent benchmark for multi-agent systems. The simulation results demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of both generalization ability and average fitness values and showed that the generalized rule accumulation method is especially remarkable when dealing with non-markov problems. © 2010 IEEE.

     View Summary

    Most of the classification methods proposed produces too many rules for humans to read over, that is, the number of generated rules is thousands or millions which means complex and hardly understandable for the users. In this paper, a new post-processing pruning method for class association rules is proposed by a combination of statistics and an evolutionary method named Genetic Relation Algorithm (GRA). The algorithm is carried out in two phases. In the first phase the rules are pruned depending on their matching degree and in the second phase GRA selects the most interesting rules using the distance between them and their strength.

  • A double-deck elevator systems controller with idle cage assignment algorithm using genetic network programming

    Lu Yu, Shingo Mabu, Jin Zhou, Shinji Eto, Kotaro Hirasawa

    Proceedings of the 12th Annual Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, GECCO '10   Portland   1313 - 1314  2010

     View Summary

    Many studies on Double-Deck Elevator Systems (DDES) have been done for exploring more efficient algorithms to improve the system transportation capacity, especially in a heavy traffic mode. The main idea of these algorithms is to decrease the number of stops during a round trip by grouping the passengers with the same destination as much as possible. How to dispatch idle cages, which is seldom considered in the heavy traffic mode, becomes important when developing the controller of DDES. In this paper, we propose a DDES controller with idle cage assignment algorithm using Genetic Network Programming (GNP) for a light traffic mode, which is based on a timer and event-driven hybrid model. To verify the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method, some experiments have been done under a special down-peak pattern.

     View Summary

    Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed as one of the evolutionary algorithms and extended with reinforcement learning (GNP-RL). The combination of evolution and learning can efficiently evolve programs and the fitness improvement has been confirmed in the simulations of tileworld problems, elevator group supervisory control systems, stock trading models and wall following behavior of Kbepera robot. However, its robustness in testing environments has not been analyzed in detail yet. In this paper, the learning mechanism in the testing environment is introduced and it is confirmed that GNP-RL can show the robustness using a robot simulator WEBOTS, especially when unexperienced sensor troubles suddenly occur. The simulation results show that GNP-RL works well in the testing even if wrong sensor information is given because GNP-RL has a function to change programs using alternative actions automatically. In addition, the analysis on the effects of the parameters of GNP-RL is carried out in both training and testing simulations. ©2010 IEEE.

     View Summary

    Financial innovation is continuously testing the asset selection models, which are the key both for building robust portfolios and for managing diversified risk. This paper describes a novel evolutionary based scheme for the asset selection using Robust Genetic Network Programming(r-GNP). The distinctive feature of r-GNP lies in its generalization ability when building the optimal asset selection model, in which several training environments are used throughout the evolutionary approach to avoid the over-fitting problem to the training data. Simulation using stocks, bonds and currencies in developed financial markets show competitive advantages over conventional asset selection schemes. © 2010 IEEE.

     View Summary

    Many classical methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Genetic Programming (GP), Evolutionary Strategies (ES), etc. have accomplished significant contribution to the study of evolutionary computation. And in the past decade, a new approach named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed. It is designed for especially solving complex problems in dynamic environments. Generally speaking, GNP is based on the algorithms of existed classical evolutionary computation techniques and uses the data structure of directed graphs which becomes the unique feature of GNP. So far, many studies have indicated that GNP can solve the complex problems in the dynamic environments very efficiently and effectively. Focusing on GNP's distinguished expression ability of the graph structure, this paper proposes an enhanced architecture for the standard GNP in order to improve the performance of GNP by using the exploited information extensively during the evolution process of GNP. In the enhanced architecture, the important gene information of the elite individuals is extracted and accumulated during evolution. And among the accumulated information, some of them are selected and encapsulated in the Route Nodes which are used to guide the evolution process. In this paper, the proposed architecture has been applied to the tile-world which is an excellent bench mark for evaluating the evolutionary computation architecture. The performance of the GNP with Route Nodes (GNP-RN) is compared with the conventional GNP. The simulation results show some merits of the proposed method over the conventional GNPs demonstrating its superiority. ©2010 IEEE.

    Many methods have been studied for mining association rules efficiently. However, because these methods usually generate a large number of rules, it is still a heavy burden for the users to find the most interesting ones. In this paper, we propose a novel method for finding what the user is interested in by assigning several keywords, like searching documents on the Web using search engines. By considering both the semantic similarity between the rules and keywords, and the statistical information like support, confidence, chi-squared value, etc. we could rank the rules by a new method named RuleRank, where evolutionary methods are applied to find the optimal ranking model. Experiments show that our approach is effective for the users to find what they want. (C) 2009 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons. Inc.

     View Summary

    Computer Systems are exposed to an increasing number and type of security threats due to the expanding of internet in recent years. How to detect network intrusions effectively becomes an important techniques. This paper presents a novel fuzzy class association rule mining method based on Genetic Network Programming(GNP) for detecting network intrusions. GNP is an evolutionary optimization techniques, which uses directed graph structures as genes instead of strings(Genetic Algorithm) or trees(Genetic Programming), leading to creating compact programs and implicitly memorizing past action sequences. By combining fuzzy set theory with GNP, the proposed method can deal with the mixed database which contains both discrete and continuous attributes. And it can be flexibly applied to both misuse and anomaly detection in Network Intrusion Detection Problem. Experimental results with KDD99Cup and DAPRA98 databases from MIT Lincoln Laboratory show that the proposed method provides a competitively high detection rate compared with other machine learning techniques. ©2009 IEEE.

     View Summary

    The key in stock trading model is to take the right actions for trading at the right time, primarily based on the accurate forecast of future stock trends. Since an effective trading with given information of stock prices needs an intelligent strategy for the decision making, we applied Genetic Network Programming (GNP) to creating a stock trading model. In this paper, we propose a new method called Real Time Updating Genetic Network Programming (RTU-GNP) for adapting to the change of stock prices. There are three important points in this paper: First, the RTU-GNP method makes a stock trading decision considering both the recommendable information of technical indices and the candlestick charts according to the real time stock prices. Second, we combine RTU-GNP with a Sarsa learning algorithm to create the programs efficiently. Also, sub-nodes are introduced in each judgment and processing node to determine appropriate actions (buying/selling) and to select appropriate stock price information depending on the situation. Third, a Real Time Updating system has been firstly introduced in our paper considering the change of the trend of stock prices. The experimental results on the Japanese stock market show that the trading model with the proposed RTU-GNP method outperforms other models without real time updating. We also compared the experimental results using the proposed method with Buy&amp
    Hold method to confirm its effectiveness, and it is clarified that the proposed trading model can obtain much higher profits than Buy&amp
    Hold method. © 2009 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

     View Summary

    In this paper we proposed two new variants of backpropagation algorithm. The common point of these two new algorithms is that the outputs of nodes in the hidden layers are controlled with the aim to solve the moving target problem and the distributed weights problem. One algorithm (AlgoRobust) is not so insensitive to the noises in the data, the second one (AlgoGS) is through using Gauss-Schmidt algorithm to determine in each epoch which weight should be updated, while the other weights are kept unchanged in this epoch. In this way a better generalization can be obtained. Some theoretical explanations are also provided. In addition, simulation comparisons are made between Gaussian regularizer, optimal brain damage (OBD) and the proposed algorithms. Simulation results confirm that the new proposed algorithms perform better than that of Gaussian regularizer, and the first algorithm AlgoRobust performs better than the second algorithm AlgoGS in the noisy data. On the other hand AlgoGS performs better than the AlgoRobust on the data without noise and the final structure obtained by two new algorithms is comparable to that obtained by using OBD.

     View Summary

    In this paper, we propose a heuristic method - Boltzmann Optimal Route Method trying to find a good approximation to the global optimum route for Origin- Destination pairs through iterations until the total traveling time converges. The overall idea of our method is to update the traveling time of each route section iteratively according to its corresponding traffic volume, and continuously generate a new global route by Q value-based Dynamic Programming combined with Boltzmann distribution. Finally, we can get the global optimum route considering the traffic volumes of the road sections. The new proposed method is compared with the conventional shortest-path method- Greedy strategy both in the static traffic system where the volumes of all the given Origin-Destination pairs of road networks are constant and in the dynamic traffic system in which changing traffic volumes are constantly provided. The results demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than the conventional method in global perspective.

     View Summary

    This paper presents a novel classification approach that integrates fuzzy classification rules and Genetic Network Programming (GNP). A fuzzy discretization technique is applied to transform the dataset, particularly for dealing with quantitative attributes. GNP is an evolutionary optimization technique that uses directed graph structures as genes instead of strings and trees of Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP), respectively. This feature contributes to creating quite compact programs and implicitly memorizing past action sequences. Therefore, in the proposed method, taking the GNP's structure into account 1) extraction of fuzzy classification rules is done without identifying frequent itemsets used in most Apriori-based data mining algorithms, 2) calculation of the support, confidence and ?2 value is made in order to quantify the significance of the rules to be integrated into the classifier, 3) fuzzy membership values are used for fuzzy classification rules extraction, 4) fuzzy rules are mined through generations and stored in a general pool. On the other hand, parameters of the membership functions are evolved by non-uniform mutation in order to perform a more global search in the space of candidate membership functions. The performance of our algorithm has been compared with other relevant algorithms and the experimental results have shownthe advantages and effectiveness of the proposed model. © 2009 IEEE.

    Elevator group supervisory control system (EGSCS) is a traffic system, where its controller manages the elevator movement to transport passengers in buildings efficiently. Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has been used in such complex systems. Genetic Network Programming(GNP), a graph-based evolutionary method extended from GA and GP, has been already applied to EGSCS. On the other hand, since energy consumption is becoming one of the greatest challenges in the society, it should be taken as criteria of the elevator operations. Moreover, the elevator with maximum energy efficiency is therefore required. Finally, the simulations show that the elevator system has the higher energy consumption in the light traffic, thus, some factors have been introduced into GNP for energy saving in this paper. ©2009 IEEE.

     View Summary

    Association rule-based classification is one of the most important data mining techniques applied to many scientific problems. In the last few years, extensive research has been carried out to develop enhanced methods and obtained higher classification accuracies than traditional classifiers. However, the current studies show that the association rule-based classifiers may also suffer some problems inherited from association rule mining such as handling of (1) continuous data and (2) the support/confidence framework. In this paper, a novel fuzzy classification model based on Genetic Network Programming (GNP) that can deal with the above problems has been proposed. GNP is one of the evolutionary optimization algorithms that uses directed graph structures as solutions instead of strings (Genetic Algorithms) or trees (Genetic Programming). Therefore, GNP can deal with more complex problems by using the higher expression ability of graph structures. The performance of our algorithm has been compared with other relevant algorithms and the experimental results show the advantages and effectiveness of the proposed model. ©2009 IEEE.

  • A portfolio selection model using genetic relation algorithm and genetic network programming

    Yan Chen, Shingo Mabu, Kotaro Hirasawa

    Conference Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics   San Antonio Texas   4378 - 4383  2009

     View Summary

    In this paper, a new evolutionary method named genetic relation algorithm (GRA) has been proposed and applied to the portfolio selection problem. The number of brands in the stock market is generally very large, therefore, techniques for selecting the effective portfolio are likely to be of interest in the financial field. In order to pick up a fixed number of the most efficient portfolio, the proposed model considers the correlation coefficient between stocks as strength, which indicates the relationship between nodes in GRA. The algorithm evaluates the relationships between stock brands using a specific measure of strength and generates the optimal portfolio in the final generation. The efficiency of GRA method is confirmed by the stock trading model using genetic network programming (GNP) that has been proposed in the previous study. We present the experimental results obtained by GRA and compare them with those obtained by traditional method, and it is clarified that the proposed model can obtain much higher profits than the traditional one. ©2009 IEEE.

  • Real time Updating Genetic Network Programming for adapting to the change of stock prices

    Yan Chen, Shingo Mabu, Kaoru Shimada, Kotaro Hirasawa

     View Summary

    The key in stock trading model is to take the right actions for trading at the right time, primarily based on the accurate forecast of future stock trends. Since an effective trading with given information of stock prices needs an intelligent strategy for the decision making, we applied Genetic Network Programming (GNP) to creating a stock trading model. In this paper, we propose a new method called Real Time Updating Genetic Network Programming (RTU-GNP) for adapting to the change of stock prices. There are three important points in this paper: First, the RTU-GNP method makes a stock trading decision considering both the recommendable information of technical indices and the candlestick charts according to the real time stock prices. Second, we combine RTU-GNP with a Sarsa learning algorithm to create the programs efficiently. Also, sub-nodes are introduced in each judgment and processing node to determine appropriate actions (buying/selling) and to select appropriate stock price information depending on the situation. Third, a Real Time Updating system has been firstly introduced in our paper considering the change of the trend of stock prices. The experimental results on the Japanese stock market show that the trading model with the proposed RTU-GNP method outperforms other models without real time updating. We also compared the experimental results using the proposed method with Buy&amp
    Hold method to confirm its effectiveness, and it is clarified that the proposed trading model can obtain much higher profits than Buy&amp
    Hold method. © 2009 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

    APPLIED SOFT COMPUTING   9 ( 1 ) 393 - 403  2009.01

     View Summary

    In this paper, multi-branch structure of Universal Learning Networks (ULNs) is studied to verify its effectiveness for obtaining compact models, which have neurons connected with other neurons using more than two branches having nonlinear functions. Multi-branch structure has been proved to have higher representation/generalization ability and lower computational cost than conventional neural networks because of the nonlinear function of the multi-branches and the reduction of the number of neurons to be used. In addition, learning of delay elements of multi-branch ULNs has improved their potential to build up a compact dynamical model with higher performances and lower computational cost when applied for identifying dynamical systems.

  • Enhancing the generalization ability of neural networks through controlling the hidden layers

    APPLIED SOFT COMPUTING   9 ( 1 ) 404 - 414  2009.01

     View Summary

    In this paper we proposed two new variants of backpropagation algorithm. The common point of these two new algorithms is that the outputs of nodes in the hidden layers are controlled with the aim to solve the moving target problem and the distributed weights problem. One algorithm (AlgoRobust) is not so insensitive to the noises in the data, the second one (AlgoGS) is through using Gauss-Schmidt algorithm to determine in each epoch which weight should be updated, while the other weights are kept unchanged in this epoch. In this way a better generalization can be obtained. Some theoretical explanations are also provided. In addition, simulation comparisons are made between Gaussian regularizer, optimal brain damage (OBD) and the proposed algorithms. Simulation results confirm that the new proposed algorithms perform better than that of Gaussian regularizer, and the first algorithm AlgoRobust performs better than the second algorithm AlgoGS in the noisy data. On the other hand AlgoGS performs better than the AlgoRobust on the data without noise and the final structure obtained by two new algorithms is comparable to that obtained by using OBD.

     View Summary

    Many methods have been studied for mining association rules efficiently. However, because these methods usually generate a large number of rules, it is still a heavy burden for the users to find the most interesting ones. In this paper, we propose a novel method for finding what the user is interested in by assigning several keywords, like searching documents on the Web using search engines. By considering both the semantic similarity between the rules and keywords, and the statistical information like support, confidence, chi-squared value, etc. we could rank the rules by a new method named RuleRank, where evolutionary methods are applied to find the optimal ranking model. Experiments show that our approach is effective for the users to find what they want. © 2009 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

    Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics   13 ( 5 ) 581 - 591  2009

     View Summary

    In this paper, we propose a heuristic method - Boltzmann Optimal Route Method trying to find a good approximation to the global optimum route for Origin- Destination pairs through iterations until the total traveling time converges. The overall idea of our method is to update the traveling time of each route section iteratively according to its corresponding traffic volume, and continuously generate a new global route by Q value-based Dynamic Programming combined with Boltzmann distribution. Finally, we can get the global optimum route considering the traffic volumes of the road sections. The new proposed method is compared with the conventional shortest-path method- Greedy strategy both in the static traffic system where the volumes of all the given Origin-Destination pairs of road networks are constant and in the dynamic traffic system in which changing traffic volumes are constantly provided. The results demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than the conventional method in global perspective.

     View Summary

    The double-deck elevator system (DDES) has been invented firstly as a solution to improve the transportation capacity of elevator group systems in the up-peak traffic pattern. The transportation capacity could be even doubled when DDES runs in a pure up-peak traffic pattern where two connected cages stop at every two floors in an elevator round trip. However, the specific features of DDES make the elevator system intractable when it runs in some other traffic patterns. Moreover, since almost all the traffic flows vary continuously during a day, an optimized controller of DDES is required to adapt to the varying traffic flow. In this paper, we have proposed a controller adaptive to traffic flows for DDES using Genetic Network Programming (GNP) based on Our past studies in this field, where the effectiveness of DDES controller using GNP has been verified in three typical traffic patterns. A new traffic flow judgment part was introduced into the GNP framework of DDES controller in this paper, and the different parts of GNP were expected to be functionally localized by the evolutionary process to make the appropriate cage assignment in different traffic flow patterns. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms a conventional approach and two heuristic approaches in a varying traffic flow during the working time of a typical office building.

    Elevator group supervisory control systems (EGSCSs) are designed so that the movement of several elevators in a building is controlled efficiently. The efficient control of EGSCSs using conventional control methods is very difficult due to its complexity, so it is becoming popular to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into EGSCSs in recent years. As a new approach, a graph-based evolutionary method named genetic network programming (GNP) has been applied to the EGSCSs, and its effectiveness is clarified. The GNP can introduce various a priori knowledge of the EGSCSs in its node functions easily, and can execute an efficient rule-based group supervisory control that is optimized in an evolutionary way. Meanwhile, double-deck elevator systems (DDESs) where two cages are connected in a shaft have been developed for the rising demand of more efficient transport of passengers in high-rise buildings. The DDESs have specific features due to the connection of cages and the need for comfortable riding; so its group supervisory control becomes more complex and requires more efficient group control systems than the conventional single-deck elevator systems (SDESs). In this paper, a new group supervisory control system for DDESs using GNP is proposed, and its optimization and performance evaluation are done through simulations. First, optimization of the GNP for DDSEs is executed. Second, the performance of the proposed method is evaluated by comparison with conventional methods, and the obtained control rules in GNP are studied. Finally, the reduction of space requirements compared with SDESs is confirmed.

  • Association rule mining for continuous attributes using genetic network programming

     View Summary

    Most of the existing association rule mining algorithms are able to extract knowledge from databases with attributes of binary values. However, in real-world applications, databases are usually composed of continuous values such as height, length or weight. If the attributes are continuous, the algorithms are commonly integrated with a discretization method that transforms them into discrete attributes. Discretization is a process of transforming a continuous attribute value into a finite number of intervals and assigning each interval into a discrete numerical value. However, the user most often must specify the number of intervals, or provide some heuristic rules to be used while discretization, and then it is difficult to get the highest attribute interdependency and at the same time get the lowest number of intervals. In this paper we present an association rule mining algorithm that is suited for continuous valued attributes commonly found in scientific and statistical databases. We propose a method using a new graph-based evolutionary algorithm named 'genetic network programming (GNP)' that can deal with continuous values directly, that is, without using any discretization method as a preprocessing step. GNP represents its individuals using graph structures and evolves them in order to find a solution; this feature contributes to creating very compact programs and implicitly memorizing past action sequences. In the proposed method using GNP, the significance of the extracted association rules is measured by the use of chi(2) test, and only important association rules are stored in a pool all together through generations. Results of experiments conducted on a real-life database suggest that the proposed method provides an effective technique for handling continuous attributes.

    Genetic Network Programming (GNP) is an evolutionary approach which can evolve itself and find the optimal solutions. As many papers have demonstrated that GNP which has a directed graph structure can deal with dynamic environments very efficiently and effectively. It can be used in many areas such as data mining, forecasting stock markets, elevator system problems, etc. In order to improve GNP's performance further, this paper proposes a method called GNP with Rules. The aim of the proposal method is to balance exploitation and exploration, that is, to strengthen exploitation ability by using the exploited information extensively during the evolution process of GNP. The proposal method consists of 4 steps: rule extraction, rule selection, individual reconstruction and individual replacement. Tile-world was used as a simulation environment. The simulation results show some advantages of GNP with Rules over conventional GNPs. © 2008 IEEE.

    In this paper, a method for traffic flow prediction has been proposed to obtain prediction rules from the past traffic data using Genetic Network Programming(GNP). GNP is an evolutionary approach which can evolve itself and find the optimal solutions. It has been clarified that GNP works well especially in dynamic environments since GNP is consisted of graphic structures, creates quite compact programs and has an implicit memory function. In this paper, GNP is applied to create a traffic flow prediction model. And we proposed the spatial adjacency model for the prediction and two kinds of models for N-step prediction. Additionally, the adaptive penalty functions are adopted for the fitness function in order to alleviate the infeasible solutions containing loops in the training process. Furthermore, the sharing function is also used to avoid the premature convergence. © 2008 SICE.

     View Summary

    Classification rule mining is an active data mining research area. Most related studies have shown how binary valued datasets are handled. However, datasets in real-world applications, usually consist of fuzzy and quantitative values. As a result, the idea to combine the different approaches with Fuzzy Set Theory has been applied more frequently in recent years. Fuzzy sets can help to overcome the so-called sharp boundary problem by allowing partial memberships to the different sets, not only 1 and 0. On the other hand, Fuzzy Sets Theory has been shown to be a very useful tool because the mined rules are expressed in linguistic terms, which are more natural and understandable for human beings. This paper proposes the combination of Fuzzy set theory and "Genetic Network Programming" (GNP) for discovering fuzzy classification rules from given quantitative data. GNP, as an extension of Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP), is an evolutionary optimization technique that uses directed graph structures as genes instead of strings and trees
    this feature contributes creating quite compact programs and implicitly memorizing past action sequences. At last, experimental results conducted on a real world database verify the performance of the proposed method. © 2008 SICE.

    A new evolutionary method named "Genetic Network Programming with control nodes, GNPcn" has been applied to determine the timing of buying or selling stocks. GNPcn represents its solutions as directed graph structures which has some useful features inherently. For example, GNPcn has an implicit memory function which memorizes the past action sequences of agents and GNPcn can re-use nodes repeatedly in the network flow, so very compact graph structures can be made. GNPcn can determine the strategy of buying and selling stocks of multi issues. And GNPcn can distribute the purchase capital to each stock based on the distribution ratio.

  • Performance Evaluation of Genetic Network Programming with Actor-Critic for Creating Mobile Robot Behavior

    Transactions of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers   44 ( 4 ) 343 - 350  2008

     View Summary

    Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed as a new graph-based evolutionary algorithm. GNP represents its solutions as graph structures which contribute to improving the expression ability of the programs. GNP with Reinforcement Learning (GNP-RL) was also proposed as an extended algorithm of GNP and its effectiveness has been confirmed. Because GNP-RL executes reinforcement learning during task execution in addition to evolution after task execution, it can search for solutions efficiently. In this paper, GNP with Actor-Critic (GNP-AC) is proposed to enhance the effectiveness of GNP-RL. Actor-Critic can adjust numerical values appropriately during task execution, i. e., online learning, and use them for determining actions. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, GNP-AC is applied to the controller of the Khepera simulator and its generalization ability is evaluated.

     View Summary

    Recently, Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed, which is an extension of Genetic Algorithm(GA) and Genetic Programming(GP). GNP can make compact programs and can memorize the past history in it implicitly, because it expresses the solution by directed graphs and therefore, it can reuse the nodes. In this research, intron-like nodes are introduced for improving the performance of GNP. The aim of introducing intron-like nodes is to use every node as much as possible. It is found from simulations that the intron-like nodes are useful for improving the training speed and generalization ability.

     View Summary

    This paper introduces an iterative Q value updating algorithm based on dynamic programming for searching the optimal route and its optimal traveling time for a given Origin-Destination (OD) pair of road networks. The proposed algorithm finds the optimal route based on the local traveling time information available at each adjacent intersection. For all the intersections of the road network, Q values are introduced for determining the optimal route. When the Q values converge, we can get the optimal route from multiple sources to single destination. If there exist multiple routes with the same traveling time, the proposed method can And all of it. When the traveling time of the road links change, an alternative optimal route is found starting with the already obtained Q values. The proposed method was applied to a grid like road network and the results show that the optimal route can be found in a small number of iterations. © 2008 IEEE.

    Elevator group control systems are the control systems that systematically manage elevators in order to transport passengers efficiently. With the increasing need for high-performance transportation systems in buildings, multi-car elevators where two cars operate separately and independently in an elevator shaft are attracting attention as the next novel elevator system. Genetic Network, Programming(GNP) can introduce various priori knowledge of the elevator systems in its node functions easily and execute an efficient rule-based group control that is optimized evolutionary. This paper discusses the development of controllers for Multi-Car Elevator System(MCES) using GNP. The effects for MCES are examined, and we compare the advantages and performances between MCES and Double-Deck Elevator System(DDES). © 2008 SICE.

    In this paper, a method for traffic flow prediction has been proposed to obtain prediction rules from the past traffic data using Genetic Network Programming(GNP). GNP is an evolutionary approach which can evolve itself and find the optimal solutions. It has been clarified that GNP works well especially in dynamic environments since GNP is consisted of graphic structures, creates quite compact programs and has an implicit memory function. In this paper, GNP is applied to create a traffic flow prediction model. And we proposed the spatial adjacency model for the prediction and two kinds of models for N-step prediction. Additionally, the adaptive penalty functions are adopted for the fitness function in order to alleviate the infeasible solutions containing loops in the training process. Furthermore, the sharing function is also used to avoid the premature convergence. © 2008 SICE.

    Classification rule mining is an active data mining research area. Most related studies have shown how binary valued datasets are handled. However, datasets in real-world applications, usually consist of fuzzy and quantitative values. As a result, the idea to combine the different approaches with Fuzzy Set Theory has been applied more frequently in recent years. Fuzzy sets can help to overcome the so-called sharp boundary problem by allowing partial memberships to the different sets, not only 1 and 0. On the other hand, Fuzzy Sets Theory has been shown to be a very useful tool because the mined rules are expressed in linguistic terms, which are more natural and understandable for human beings. This paper proposes the combination of Fuzzy set theory and "Genetic Network Programming" (GNP) for discovering fuzzy classification rules from given quantitative data. GNP, as an extension of Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP), is an evolutionary optimization technique that uses directed graph structures as genes instead of strings and trees
    this feature contributes creating quite compact programs and implicitly memorizing past action sequences. At last, experimental results conducted on a real world database verify the performance of the proposed method. © 2008 SICE.

    Proceedings of the SICE Annual Conference   Tokyo   146 - 150  2008

     View Summary

    So far, many studies on Double-Deck Elevator Systems (DDES) have been done for exploring some more efficient algorithms to improve the system transportation capacity, especially in a heavy traffic mode. The main idea of these algorithms is to decrease the number of stops during a round trip by grouping the passengers with the same destination as much as possible. Unlike what happens in this mode, where all cages almost always keep moving, there is the case, where some cages become idle in a light traffic mode. Therefore, how to dispatch these idle cages, which is seldom considered in the heavy traffic mode, becomes important when developing the controller of DDES. In this paper, we propose a DDES controller using genetic network programming with idle cage assignment algorithm embedded for a light traffic mode. © 2008 SICE.

    This paper proposes a graph-based evolutionary algorithm called Genetic Network Programming (GNP). Our goal is to develop GNP, which can deal with dynamic environments efficiently and effectively, based on the distinguished expression ability of the graph (network) structure. The characteristics of GNP are as follows. 1) GNP programs are composed of a number of nodes which execute simple judgment/processing, and these nodes are connected by directed links to each other. 2) The graph structure enables GNP to re-use nodes, thus the structure can be very compact. 3) The node transition of GNP is executed according to its node connections without any terminal nodes, thus the pst history of the node transition affects the current node to be used and this characteristic works as an implicit memory function. These structural characteristics are useful for dealing with dynamic environments. Furthermore, we propose an extended algorithm, "GNP with Reinforcement Learning (GNP-RL)" which combines evolution and reinforcement learning in order to create effective graph structures and obtain better results in dynamic environments. In this paper, we applied GNP to the problem of determining agents' behavior to evaluate its effectiveness. Tileworld was used as the simulation environment. The results show some advantages for GNP over conventional methods. © 2007 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

  • An approximate stability analysis of nonlinear systems described by Universal Learning Networks

    Kotaro Hirasawa, Shingo Mabu, Shinji Eto, Jinglu Hu

    APPLIED SOFT COMPUTING   7 ( 3 ) 642 - 651  2007.06

     View Summary

    Stability is one of the most important subjects in control systems. As for the stability of nonlinear dynamical systems, Lyapunov's direct method and linearized stability analysis method have been widely used. But, it is generally recognized that finding an appropriate Lyapunov function is fairly difficult especially for the nonlinear dynamical systems, and also it is not so easy for the linearized stability analysis to find the locally asymptotically stable region. Therefore, it is crucial and highly motivated to develop a new stability analysis method, which is easy to use and can easily study the locally asymptotically stable region at least approximately, if not exactly. On the other hand, as for the calculation of the higher order derivative, Universal Learning Networks ( ULNs) are equipped with a systematic mechanism that calculates their first and second order derivatives exactly.
    So, in this paper, an approximate stability analysis method based on h approximation is proposed in order to overcome the above problems and its application to a nonlinear dynamical control system is discussed.

The above investigation is carried out approximately by using the higher order derivatives of ULNs.
    In summarizing the proposed method, firstly, the absolute values of the first order derivatives of any nodes of the trajectory with respect to any initial disturbances are calculated by using ULNs.

  • An approximate stability analysis of nonlinear systems described by Universal Learning Networks

     View Summary

    Stability is one of the most important subjects in control systems. As for the stability of nonlinear dynamical systems, Lyapunov's direct method and linearized stability analysis method have been widely used. But, it is generally recognized that finding an appropriate Lyapunov function is fairly difficult especially for the nonlinear dynamical systems, and also it is not so easy for the linearized stability analysis to find the locally asymptotically stable region. Therefore, it is crucial and highly motivated to develop a new stability analysis method, which is easy to use and can easily study the locally asymptotically stable region at least approximately, if not exactly. On the other hand, as for the calculation of the higher order derivative, Universal Learning Networks ( ULNs) are equipped with a systematic mechanism that calculates their first and second order derivatives exactly.
    So, in this paper, an approximate stability analysis method based on h approximation is proposed in order to overcome the above problems and its application to a nonlinear dynamical control system is discussed. The proposed method studies the stability of the original trajectory by investigating whether the perturbed trajectory can approach the original trajectory or not. The above investigation is carried out approximately by using the higher order derivatives of ULNs.

     View Summary

    The Elevator Group Supervisory Control Systems (EGSCS) are the control systems that systematically manage three or more elevators in order to efficiently transport the passengers in buildings. Double-deck elevators, where two cages are connected with each other, are expected to be the next generation elevator systems. Meanwhile, Destination Floor Guidance Systems (DFGS) are also expected in Double-Deck Elevator Systems (DDES). With these, the passengers could be served at two consecutive floors and could input their destinations at elevator halls instead of conventional systems without DFGS. Such systems become more complex than the traditional systems and require new control methods Genetic Network Programming (GNP), a graph-based evolutionary method, has been applied to EGSCS and its advantages are shown in some previous papers. GNP can obtain the strategy of a new hall call assignment to the optimal elevator because it performs crossover and mutation operations to judgment nodes and processing nodes. In studies so far, the passenger's arrival has been assumed to take Exponential distribution for many years. In this paper, we have applied Erlang distribution and Binomial distribution in order to study how the passenger's arrival distribution affects EGSCS. We have found that the passenger's arrival distribution has great influence on EGSCS. It has been also clarified that GNP makes good performances under different conditions. Copyright 2007 ACM.

    Genetic Programming Network (GNP), a graph-based evolutionary method, has been proposed several years ago as an extension of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP). The behavior of GNP is characterized by a balance between exploitation and exploration. To improve the evolving speed and efficiency of GNP, we developed a hybrid algorithm that combines GNP with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Pheromone information in the algorithm is updated not only by the fitness but also the frequency of the transitions as dynamic updating. We applied the hybrid algorithm to Elevator Group Supervisory Control Systems (EGSCS), a complex real-world problem. Finally, the simulations verified the efficacy of our proposed method. © 2007 SICE.

     View Summary

    In this paper we propose a new hierarchical method to extract association rules from large and dense datasets using Genetic Network Programming (GNP) considering a real world database with a huge number of attributes. It uses three ideas. First, the large database is divided into many small datasets. Second, these small datasets are independently processed by the conventional GNP-based mining method (CGNP) in parallel. This level of processing is called Local Level. Finally, new genetic operations are carried out for small datasets considered as individuals in order to improve the number of rules extracted and their quality as well. This level of processing is called Global Level. The amount of small datasets is also important especially for avoiding the overload and improving the general performance
    we find the minimum amount of files needed to extract important association rules. The proposed method shows its effectiveness in simulations using a real world large and dense database. © 2007 SICE.

    Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has been applied to many applications. As an extension of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP), Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed, whose gene is constructed by directed graphs. GNP can perform a global searching, but its evolving speed is not so high and its optimal solution is hard to obtain in some cases because of the lack of the exploitation ability of it. To alleviate this difficulty, we developed a hybrid algorithm that combines Genetic Network Programming (GNP) with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Our goal is to introduce more exploitation mechanism into GNP. In this paper, we applied the proposed hybrid algorithm to a complicated real world problem, that is, Elevator Group Supervisory Control System (EGSCS). The simulation results showed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. © 2007 IEEE.

    Many methods of generating behavior sequences of agents by evolution have been reported. A new evolutionary computation method named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been also developed recently along with these trends. GNP has a directed graph structure and the search for obtaining optimal GNP becomes difficult when the scale of GNP is large. The aim of this paper is to find a well structured GNP considering Breadth and Depth of GNP searching. It has been shown that the proposed method is efficient compared with conventional GNPs from simulations using a garbage collector problem. © 2007 IEEE.

     View Summary

    In order to increase the transportation capability of elevator group systems in high-rise buildings without adding elevator installation space, double-deck elevator system (DDES) is developed as one of the next generation elevator group systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been employed to And some efficient solutions in the elevator group control systems during the late 20th century. Genetic Network Programming (GNP), a new evolutionary computation method, is reported to be employed as the elevator group system controller in some studies of recent years. Moreover, reinforcement learning (RL) is also verified to be useful for more improvements of elevator group performances when it is combined with GNP. In this paper, we proposed a new approach of DDES using GNP with RL, and did some experiments on a simulated elevator group system of a typical office building to check its efficiency. Simulation results show that the DDES using GNP with RL performs better than the one without RL in regular and down-peak time, while both of them outperforms a conventional approach and a heuristic approach in all three traffic patterns. ©2007 IEEE.

    This paper applies a Adaptive Random search with Intensification and Diversification combined with Genetic Algorithm (RasID-GA) to neural network training. In the previous work, we proposed RasID-GA which combines the best properties of RasID and Genetic Algorithm for optimization. Neural networks are widely used in pattern recognition, system modeling, prediction and other areas. Although most neural network training uses gradient based schemes such as well-known back-propagation (BP), but sometimes BP is easily dropped into local minima. In this paper, we train multi-branch neural networks using RasID-GA with constraint coefficient C by which the feasible solution space is controlled. In addition, we use Mackey-Glass time prediction to test a generalization ability of the proposed method. ©2007 IEEE.

    A new evolutionary method named 'Genetic Network Programming, GNP' has been proposed. GNP represents its solutions as directed graph structures which have some useful features inherently. For example, GNP has the implicit memory function which memorizes the past action sequences of agents, and GNP can re-use nodes repeatedly in the network flow, so very compact graph structures can be made. In this paper, the stock trading model using GNP with Candle Chart is proposed and its effectiveness is comfirmed by trading simulations.

     View Summary

    Genetic Network Programming (GNP) is an evolutionary computation which represents its solutions using graph structures. Since GNP can create quite compact programs and has an implicit memory function, it has been clarified that GNP works well especially in dynamic environments. In addition, a study on creating trading rules on stock markets using GNP with Importance Index (GNP-IMX) has been done. IMX is a new element which is a criterion for decision making. In this paper, we combined GNP-IMX with Actor-Critic (GNP-IMX&AC) and create trading rules on stock markets. Evolution-based methods evolve their programs after enough period of time because they must calculate fitness values, however reinforcement learning can change programs during the period, therefore the trading rules can be created efficiently. In the simulation, the proposed method is trained using the stock prices of 10 brands in 2002 and 2003. Then the generalization ability is tested using the stock prices in 2004. The simulation results show that the proposed method can obtain larger profits than GNP-IMX without AC and Buy&Hold.

Double-deck elevators, where two elevators are connected with each other, serve passengers at two consecutive floors simultaneously.

GNP can obtain the strategy of a new hall call assignment to the optimal elevator when it performs crossover and mutation operations to judgment nodes and processing nodes. Meanwhile, Destination Floor Guidance System (DFGS) is installed in DDES, so that passengers can also input their destinations at elevator halls. In this paper, we have applied GNP to DDES and compared DFGS with normal systems. The waiting time and traveling time of DFGS are all improved because of getting more information from DFGS. The simulations showed the effectiveness of the double-deck elevators with DFGS in different building traffics.

     View Summary

    Elevator Group Supervisory Control System (EGSCS) is a very large scale stochastic dynamic optimization problem. Due to its vast state space, significant uncertainty and numerous resource constraints such as finite car capacities and registered hall/car calls, it is hard to manage EGSCS using conventional control methods. Recently, many solutions for EGSCS using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have been reported. Genetic Network Programming (GNP), which is proposed as a new evolutionary computation method several years ago, is also proved to be efficient when applied to EGSCS problem. In this paper, we propose an extended algorithm for EGSCS by introducing Reinforcement Learning (RL) into GNP framework, and an improvement of the EGSCS' performances is expected since the efficiency of GNP with RL has been clarified in some other studies like tile-world problem. Simulation tests using traffic flows in a typical office building have been made, and the results show an actual improvement of the EGSCS' performances comparing to the algorithms using original GNP and conventional control methods. Furthermore, as a further study, an importance weight optimization algorithm is employed based on GNP with RL and its efficiency is also verified with the better performances.

    Double-Deck Elevator Systems (DDES) have been invented to improve the transportation capacity of elevator group systems for decades. There are several specific features in DDES due to its specific structure, i.e., two decks are vertically connected in one shaft. Even though the DDES could work well in a pure up-peak traffic pattern by cutting up to half of the stops in an elevator round trip, it becomes intractable because of the features when running in some other traffic patterns. Some solutions employing evolutionary computation methods such as genetic algorithm were also proposed in recent years. In this paper, we propose an approach of DDES using genetic network programming based on our past studies in this field. © 2007 SICE.

     View Summary

    Genetic Programming Network (GNP), a graph-based evolutionary method, has been proposed several years ago as an extension of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP). The behavior of GNP is characterized by a balance between exploitation and exploration. To improve the evolving speed and efficiency of GNP, we developed a hybrid algorithm that combines GNP with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Pheromone information in the algorithm is updated not only by the fitness but also the frequency of the transitions as dynamic updating. We applied the hybrid algorithm to Elevator Group Supervisory Control Systems (EGSCS), a complex real-world problem. Finally, the simulations verified the efficacy of our proposed method. © 2007 SICE.

    Proceedings of the SICE Annual Conference   Kagawa   2686 - 2693  2007

     View Summary

    In this paper we propose a new hierarchical method to extract association rules from large and dense datasets using Genetic Network Programming (GNP) considering a real world database with a huge number of attributes. It uses three ideas. First, the large database is divided into many small datasets. Second, these small datasets are independently processed by the conventional GNP-based mining method (CGNP) in parallel. This level of processing is called Local Level. Finally, new genetic operations are carried out for small datasets considered as individuals in order to improve the number of rules extracted and their quality as well. This level of processing is called Global Level. The amount of small datasets is also important especially for avoiding the overload and improving the general performance
    we find the minimum amount of files needed to extract important association rules. The proposed method shows its effectiveness in simulations using a real world large and dense database. © 2007 SICE.

    Among several methods of extracting association rules that have been reported, a new evolutionary computation method named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has also shown its effectiveness for small datasets that have a relatively small number of attributes. The aim of this paper is to propose a new method to extract association rules from large and dense datasets with a huge amount of attributes using GNP. It consists of two-level of processing. Server Level where conventional GNP based mining method runs in parallel and Client Level where files are considered as individuals and genetic operations are carried out over them. The algorithm starts dividing the large dataset into small datasets with appropiate size, and then each of them are dealt with GNP in parallel processing. The new association rules obtained in each generation are stored in a general global pool. We compared several genetic operators applied to the individuals in the Global Level. The proposed method showed remarkable improvements on simulations. © 2007 IEEE.

    Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has been applied to many applications. As an extension of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP), Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed, whose gene is constructed by directed graphs. GNP can perform a global searching, but its evolving speed is not so high and its optimal solution is hard to obtain in some cases because of the lack of the exploitation ability of it. To alleviate this difficulty, we developed a hybrid algorithm that combines Genetic Network Programming (GNP) with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Our goal is to introduce more exploitation mechanism into GNP. In this paper, we applied the proposed hybrid algorithm to a complicated real world problem, that is, Elevator Group Supervisory Control System (EGSCS). The simulation results showed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. © 2007 IEEE.

    Many methods of generating behavior sequences of agents by evolution have been reported. A new evolutionary computation method named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been also developed recently along with these trends. GNP has a directed graph structure and the search for obtaining optimal GNP becomes difficult when the scale of GNP is large. The aim of this paper is to find a well structured GNP considering Breadth and Depth of GNP searching. It has been shown that the proposed method is efficient compared with conventional GNPs from simulations using a garbage collector problem. © 2007 IEEE.

     View Summary

    In order to increase the transportation capability of elevator group systems in high-rise buildings without adding elevator installation space, double-deck elevator system (DDES) is developed as one of the next generation elevator group systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been employed to And some efficient solutions in the elevator group control systems during the late 20th century. Genetic Network Programming (GNP), a new evolutionary computation method, is reported to be employed as the elevator group system controller in some studies of recent years. Moreover, reinforcement learning (RL) is also verified to be useful for more improvements of elevator group performances when it is combined with GNP. In this paper, we proposed a new approach of DDES using GNP with RL, and did some experiments on a simulated elevator group system of a typical office building to check its efficiency. Simulation results show that the DDES using GNP with RL performs better than the one without RL in regular and down-peak time, while both of them outperforms a conventional approach and a heuristic approach in all three traffic patterns. ©2007 IEEE.

     View Summary

    Genetic Network Programming (GNP) is an evolutionary computation which represents its solutions using graph structures. Since GNP can create quite compact programs and has an implicit memory function, it has been clarified that GNP works well especially in dynamic environments. In this paper, GNP is applied to creating a stock trading model. The first important point is to combine GNP with Actor-Critic which is one of the reinforcement learning algorithms. Evolution-based methods evolve their programs after task execution because they must calculate fitness values, while reinforcement learning can change programs during task execution, therefore the programs can be created efficiently. The second important point is that GNP with Actor-Critic (GNP-AC) can select appropriate technical indexes to judge the buying and selling timing of stocks using Importance Index especially designed for stock trading decision making. In the simulations, the trading model is trained using the stock prices of 20 brands in 2001, 2002 and 2003. Then the generalization ability is tested using the stock prices in 2004. From the simulation results, it is clarified that the trading rules of GNP-AC obtain higher profits than Buy&amp

  • A Double-Deck Elevator Group Supervisory Control System with Destination Floor Guidance System using Genetic Network Programming

     View Summary

    The Elevator Group Supervisory Control Systems (EGSCS) are the control systems that systematically manage three or more elevators in order to efficiently transport the passengers in buildings. Double-deck elevators, where two elevators are connected with each other, serve passengers at two consecutive floors simultaneously. Double-deck Elevator systems (DDES) become more complex in their behavior than conventional single-deck elevator systems (SDES). Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has been used in such complex systems. Genetic Network Programming (GNP), a graph-based evolutionary method, has been applied to EGSCS and its advantages are shown in some papers. GNP can obtain the strategy of a new hall call assignment to the optimal elevator when it performs crossover and mutation operations to judgment nodes and processing nodes. Meanwhile, Destination Floor Guidance System (DFGS) is installed in DDES, so that passengers can also input their destinations at elevator halls. In this paper, we have applied GNP to DDES and compared DFGS with normal systems. The waiting time and traveling time of DFGS are all improved because of getting more information from DFGS. The simulations showed the effectiveness of the double-deck elevators with DFGS in different building traffics.

     View Summary

    Elevator Group Supervisory Control System (EGSCS) is a very large scale stochastic dynamic optimization problem. Due to its vast state space, significant uncertainty and numerous resource constraints such as finite car capacities and registered hall/car calls, it is hard to manage EGSCS using conventional control methods. Recently, many solutions for EGSCS using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have been reported. Genetic Network Programming (GNP), which is proposed as a new evolutionary computation method several years ago, is also proved to be efficient when applied to EGSCS problem. In this paper, we propose an extended algorithm for EGSCS by introducing Reinforcement Learning (RL) into GNP framework, and an improvement of the EGSCS' performances is expected since the efficiency of GNP with RL has been clarified in some other studies like tile-world problem. Simulation tests using traffic flows in a typical office building have been made, and the results show an actual improvement of the EGSCS' performances comparing to the algorithms using original GNP and conventional control methods. Furthermore, as a further study, an importance weight optimization algorithm is employed based on GNP with RL and its efficiency is also verified with the better performances.

    The way of propagating and control of stochastic signals through Universal Learning Networks (ULNs) and its applications are proposed. ULNs have been already developed to form a superset of neural networks and have been applied as a universal framework for modeling and control of non-linear large-scale complex systems. However, the ULNs cannot deal with stochastic variables. Deterministic signals can be propagated through a ULN, but the ULN does not provide any stochastic characteristics of the signals propagating through it. The proposed method named Probabilistic Universal Learning Networks (PrULNs) can process stochastic variables and can train network parameters so that the signals behave with the pre-specified stochastic properties. As examples of applications of the proposed method, control and identification of non-linear dynamic systems with noises are studied, and it is shown that the method are useful for dealing with the control and identification of the non-linear stochastic systems contaminated with noises. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

     View Summary

    Multiagent Systems with Symbiotic Learning and Evolution (Masbiole) has been proposed and studied, which is a new methodology of Multiagent Systems (MAS) based on symbiosis in the ecosystem. Masbiole employs a method of symbiotic learning and evolution where agents can learn or evolve according to their symbiotic relations toward others, i.e., considering the benefits/losses of both itself and an opponent. As a result, Masbiole can escape from Nash Equilibria and obtain better performances than conventional MAS where agents consider only their own benefits. This paper focuses on the evolutionary model of Masbiole, and its characteristics are examined especially with an emphasis on the behaviors of agents obtained by symbiotic evolution. In the simulations, two ideas suitable for the effective analysis of such behaviors are introduced; "Match Type Tile-world (MTT)" and "Genetic Network Programming (GNP)". MTT is a virtual model where tile-world is improved so that agents can behave considering their symbiotic relations. GNP is a newly developed evolutionary computation which has the directed graph type gene structure and enables to analyze the decision making mechanism of agents easily. Simulation results show that Masbiole can obtain various kinds of behaviors and better performances than conventional MAS in MTT by evolution.

     View Summary

    An improved support vector machine (SVM) classifier model for classifying the real-world lopsided data is proposed. The most obvious differences between the model proposed and conventional SVM classifiers are the designs of decision-making functions and the introduction of an offset parameter. With considering about the vagueness of the real-world data sets, a fuzzy decision-making function is designed to take the place of the traditional sign function in the prediction part of SVM classifier. Because of the existence of the interaction and noises influence around the boundary between different clusters, this flexible design of decision-making model which is more similar to the real-world situations can present better performances. In addition, in this paper we mainly discuss an offset parameter introduced to modify the boundary excursion caused by the imbalance of the real-world datasets. Because noises in the real-world can also influence the separation boundary, a weighted harmonic mean (WHM) method is used to modify the offset parameter. Due to these improvements, more robust performances are presented in our simulations. © 2006 ICASE.

     View Summary

    Recently, Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed as one of the evolutionary algorithms. It represents its solutions as directed graph structures and the distinguished abilities have been shown. However, when we apply GNP to complex problems like the real world one, GNP must have robustness against the changes of environments and evolve quickly. Therefore, we introduced Automatically Generated Macro Nodes (AGMs) to GNP (GNP with AGMs). Actually GNP with AGMs has shown higher performances than the conventional GNP in terms of the fitness and the speed of evolution. In this paper, a new mechanism, AGMs with variable size, is introduced to GNP. Conventional AGMs have the fixed number of nodes and they evolve using only genetic operations, while a new method allows AGM to add nodes by necessity and delete nodes which do not contribute to the evolution of the AGM. The proposed GNP with AGMs of variable size is expected to evolve effectively and efficiently when it is applied to agent systems and also expected to make better behavior sequences of agents more easily than the conventional GNP algorithm. In the simulations, the proposed and conventional methods are applied to a tileworld problem and they are compared with each other. From the results, GNP with AGMs of variable size shows better fitness than GNP with AGMs of fixed size and the conventional GNP when adapting ten different environments.

     View Summary

    A new graph-based evolutionary algorithm called "Genetic Network Programming, GNP" has been proposed. The solutions of GNP are represented as graph structures, which can improve the expression ability and performance. In addition, GNP with Reinforcement Learning (GNP-RL) has been proposed to search for solutions efficiently. GNP-RL can use current information (state and reward) and change its programs during task execution. Thus, it has an advantage over evolution-based algorithms in case much information can be obtained during task execution. The GNP we proposed in the previous research deals with discrete information, but in this paper, we extend the conventional GNP-RL which can deal with numerical information. The proposed method is applied to the controller of Khepera simulator and its performance is evaluated.

    Our brain has three different learning paradigms: supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning. And it is suggested that those learning paradigms relate deeply to the cerebellum, cerebral cortex and basal ganglia in the brain, respectively. Inspired by these knowledge of brain, we present a brain-like learning system with those three different learning algorithms. The proposed system consists of three parts: the supervised learning (SL) part, the unsupervised learning (UL) part and the reinforcement learning (RL) part. The SL part, corresponding to the cerebellum of brain, learns an input-output mapping by supervised learning. The UL part, corresponding to the cerebral cortex of brain, is a competitive learning network, and divides an input space to subspaces by unsupervised learning. The RL part, corresponding to the basal ganglia of brain, optimizes the model performance by reinforcement learning. Numerical simulations show that the proposed brain-like learning system optimizes its performance automatically and has superior performance to an ordinary neural network.

     View Summary

    In recent years, double-deck elevator systems (DDES) where two cars are connected in a shaft has been developed for the rising demand of more efficient transport of passengers in high-rise buildings. DDES has specific behaviors due to the connection of cars and the need for securing comfortable riding, so its group control becomes more complex than conventional single-deck elevator systems (SDES). Meanwhile, a graph-based evolutionary method, Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been applied to elevator group supervisory control systems, and its effectiveness is clarified. GNP can consider the specific behaviors of DDES in its node functions easily and execute an efficient rule-based group control optimized evolutionary. In this paper, a new group control system for DDES using GNP is proposed, and its optimization and performance verification are done through the simulations. First, optimization of GNP for DDES is executed. Second, the performance of the proposed method is verified by the comparison with conventional methods, and the obtained control rules are studied. Finally, the performance improvement by the proposal is evaluated in terms of SDES capacity.

     View Summary

    A method of association rule mining is proposed using Genetic Network Programming (GNP) to improve the performance of rule extraction. Association rule mining is the discovery of association relationships or correlations among a set of attributes in a database. GNP is one of the evolutionary optimization techniques, which uses directed graph structures as genes. GNP examines the attribute values of database tuples using judgement nodes and calculates the measurements of association rules using processing nodes. In addition, the proposed method measures the significance of associations via the chi-squared test for correlation used in classical statistics using GNP's feature. Extracted association rules are stored in a pool all together through the generations in order to find new important rules. Therefore, the proposed method is fundamentally different from the previous methods in its evolutionary way. In this paper, the algorithm capable of finding the important association rules is described and some experimental results are shown.

     View Summary

    In an ordinary artificial neural network, individual neurons do not have any special relations with input patterns. That is, an ordinary neural network has only learning capability, but does not have the capability of function localization. However, according to Hebb's cell assembly theory about how the brain worked, it is suggested that it has function localization in the brain, which means that specific groups of neurons are activated corresponding to certain sorts of sensory information the brain receives. On the other hand, it is also reported that the cerebellum and cerebral cortex in the brain are specialized in supervised and unsupervised learning paradigms, respectively. Inspired by both Hebb's cell assembly theory, and the basic learning paradigms in the brain, this paper presents a self-organizing function localization neural network (FLNN). The proposed self-organizing FLNN consists of two parts: the main part and the control part. The main part, corresponding to the cerebellum of brain, is an ordinary 3-layered feedforward neural network, but each hidden neuron contains a signal from the control part, controlling its firing strength. The control part, corresponding to the cerebral cortex of brain, consists of a self-organizing map (SOM) network whose outputs are associated with the hidden neurons of the main part. Trained with an unsupervised learning algorithm, the SOM control part extracts structural features of input space and controls the firing strength of hidden neurons in the main part. And the main part realizes an input-output mapping by using supervised learning. In this way, the self-organizing FLNN realizes the capabilities of both function localization and learning. Numerical simulations show that the self organizing FLNN has superior performance to an ordinary neural network.

     View Summary

    Neural networks (NNs) can solve only a simple problem if the network size is too small. On the other hand, if the network size increases, it costs a lot in terms of memory space andcalculation time. Therefore, we have studied how to construct the network structure with high performances and low costs in space and time. A solution is a multi-branch structure. Conventional NNs use the single-branch for the connections, while the multi-branch structurehas multibranches between nodes. In this paper, a new method which enables the multi-branch NNs to have functional localization is proposed. Neural networks with Branch Control adjust signals propagating through branches between the intermediate layer and output layer depending on the inputs of the network. Therefore, a branch could be cut depending on input values. Simulation results of function approximations and a classification problem illustrated the effectiveness of multi-branch NNs with functional localization.

On the other hand, it is suggested that the brain has three different learning paradigms: supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning. Inspired by the above knowledge of brain, we present a selforganizing function localization neural network (FLNN), that contains supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning paradigms. In this paper, we concentrate our discussion mainly on applying a simplified reinforcement learning called evaluative feedback to optimization of the self-organizing FLNN. Numerical simulations show that the self-organizing FLNN has superior performance to an ordinary artificial neural network (ANN). © 2005 IEEE.

    Many methods of generating behavior sequences of agents by evolution have been reported. A new evolutionary computation method named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has also been developed recently along with these trends. The aim of this paper is to build an artificial model to realize functional localization based on GNP considering the fact that the functional localization of the brain is realized in such a way that a different part of the brain corresponds to a different function. GNP has a directed graph structure suitable for realizing functional localization. In this paper, it is especially stated that the evolution of the switching function can be realized for functional localization of GNP using the self-sufficient garbage collector problem. © 2005 IEEE.

    An adaptive state estimator for pulverizers consisting of blending, grinding, and classifying processes has been developed in order to improve control of pulverized-coal-fired power stations. Though coal flow and non-Gaussian particle size distributions in the processes are mutually related, the estimator is able to efficiently simulate flow and normalized moments of the distributions with a state vector. The estimator also identifies coal grindability for adapting to variation in coal characteristic in parallel with the process simulation. The accuracy of the adaptive estimation and the effectiveness in improving the load-swinging performance have been validated at a 1000-MWe class power station.

    Detecting cracks is an important function in building, tunnel, and bridge structural analysis. Successful automation of crack detection can provide a uniform and timely means for preventing further damage to structures. This laboratory has successfully applied convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to online crack detection. CNNs represent an interesting method for adaptive image processing, and form a link between artificial neural networks and finite impulse response filters. As with most artificial neural networks, the CNN is susceptible to multiple local minima, thus complexity and time must be applied in order to avoid becoming trapped within the local minima. This paper employs a standard genetic algorithm (GA) to train the weights of a 4-5x5 filter CNN in order to pass through local minima. This technique resulted in a 92.3 +/- 1.4% average success rate using 25 GA-trained CNNs presented with 100 crack (320x240 pixel) images.

    Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed as a new method of evolutionary computation. Until now, GNP has been applied to various problems and its effectiveness was clarified. However, these problems were virtual models, so the applicability and availability of GNP to the real-world applications have not been studied. In this paper, as a first step of applying GNP to the real-world applications, Elevator Group Supervisory Control Systems (EGSCSs) are considered. Generally, EGSCSs are complex and difficult problems to solve because they are too dynamic and probabilistic. So the design of a useful controller of EGSCSs was very difficult. Recently, the design of such a controller of EGSCSs has been tried actively using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. In this paper, it is reported that the design of a controller of EGSCSs has been studied using GNP whose characteristic is to use directed graph as its gene instead of bit strings and trees of GA and GP From simulations, it is clarified that better solutions are obtained by using GNP than other conventional methods and the availability of GNP to real-world applications is confirmed.

     View Summary

    Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has directed graph structures as genes, which is extended from other evolutionary computations such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP). Generally, macroinstructions are introduced as sub-routines, function localization and so on. Previously, we have introduced the structure of macroinstructions in GNP named Automatically Generated Macro Nodes (AGMs) for reducing the time of evolution efficiently, and showed that macroinstructions are useful to acquire good performances. But the AGMs have fixed number of nodes, and it is found that the effectiveness of evolution of macroinstructions depends on the main program calling them and initialized parameters. Accordingly in this paper, new AGMs are introduced to improve their performances further more by the mechanism of varying the size of AGMs, which are named variable size AGMs. This is the mechanism to add and delete nodes according to necessity. In the simulations, comparisons between GNP program only, GNP with conventional AGMs and GNP with variable size AGMs are carried out using the tile world. Simulation results show that the proposed method is better compared with conventional GNP and GNP with conventional AGMs. And also it is clarified that the node transition rules obtained by new AGMs show the generalized rules able to deal with unknown environments.

    SICE 2004 ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-3   Sapporo   367 - 372  2004

     View Summary

    Quasi-ARX neural networks (NN) are NN based nonlinear models that not only have linear structures similar to linear ARX models, but also have useful interpretation in part of their parameters. However when applying an ordinary backpropagation (BP) for the training, it has potential risk that the BP algorithm is stuck at a local minimum, which results in a poorly trained model. In this paper, a homotopy continuation method is introduced to improve the convergence performance of BP training. The idea is to start the BP training with the criterion function for linear ARX model, which is gradually deformed first into one for quasi-ARX NN model with linear node functions, and then into the actual one for quasi-ARX NN with sigmoid node functions. By building the deformation into a usual recursive procedure for BP training of quasi-ARX NN model with adaptable node functions so that the proposed homotopy based BP algorithm is able to achieve improved convergence performance without much increase in the computation load. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed homotopy based BP has better performance than an ordinary BP.

    Genetic Network Programming (GNP) extended from other evolutionary computations such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP) has network structures as gene. Previously, the program size of conventional GNP was fixed and GNP programs have not introduced the concept of sub-routines, although GA and GP paid attention to sub-routines. In this paper, a new method where GNP with Automatically Generated Macro Nodes (GNP with AGMs) composed of a number of nodes is proposed for improving the performance of GNP. These AGMs also have network structures and are evolved like main GNP. In addition to that, AGMs have multiple inputs and outputs that have not been introduced in the past. In the simulations, comparisons between GNP program only and GNP with AGMs are carried out using the tile world. Simulation results shows that the proposed method brings better results compared with traditional GNP. And it is clarified from simulations that the node transition rules obtained by AGMs show the generalized rules able to deal with unknown environments.

     View Summary

    A new evolutionary algorithm named "Genetic Network Programming, GNP" has been proposed. GNP represents its solutions as directed graphs, which realizes better expression ability than GA and GP which use string and tree structures, respectively. The aim of developing GNP is to deal with dynamic environments efficiently by using the distinguished expression ability and the inherently equipped functions of the network structure. However, since GNP is based on evolution, the programs cannot be changed until one generation ends. In this paper, we propose the extended algorithm, "GNP with Evolution and Learning" which combines evolution and reinforcement learning in order to adapt to dynamic environments quickly. The tileworld is used as a simulation environment and the results show some advantages of the proposed method.

Although so many useful memory models have been devised, there are still some problems, such as the limitation of storage capacity or too small attractor size to be stored.<br>In this paper, to solve the above problems, a novel associative memory is proposed. Its unique features are, (1) the memory network is obtained by training network parameters, (2) the size of the attractor of each stored memory can be controlled, and (3) some redundant nodes are introduced into the memory network in order to increase the storage capacity.<br>It is clarified from simulations that the proposed method can improve the memory functions, and can be applicable to the mutual associative memory easily.

  • A robust control method for a PV-supplied DC motor using universal learning networks

    A Hussein, K Hirasawa, JL Hu

    SOLAR ENERGY   76 ( 6 ) 771 - 780  2004

     View Summary

    In this paper, a new robust control method and its application to a photovoltaic (PV) supplied, separately excited DC motor loaded with a constant torque is discussed. The robust controller is designed against the load torque changes by using the first and second ordered derivatives of the universal learning networks (ULNs). These derivatives are calculated using the forward propagation algorithm, which is considered as an extended version of real time recurrent learning (RTRL). In this application, two ULN&apos;s are used: The first is the ULN identifier trained offline to emulate the dynamic performance of the DC motor system. The second is the ULN controller, which is trained online not only to make the motor speed follow a selected reference signal, but also to make the overall system operate at the maximum power point of the PV source. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed robust control method, the simulation is carried out at four different values of the robustness coefficient in two different stages: The training stage, in which the simulation is done for a constant load torque. And the control stage, in which the controller performance is obtained when the load torque is changed. The simulation results showed that the robustness of the control system is improved although the motor load torque at the control stage is different from that at the training stage.

Simulation results show that the proposed method is better compared with conventional GNP and GNP with conventional AGMs. And also it is clarified that the node transition rules obtained by new AGMs show the generalized rules able to deal with unknown environments.

    According to the knowledge of brain science, it is suggested that there exists cerebral functional localization, which means that a specific part of the cerebrum is activated depending on various kinds of information human receives. The aim of this paper is to build an artificial model to realize functional localization based on Genetic Network Programming (GNP), a new evolutionary computation method recently developed. GNP has a directed graph structure suitable for realizing functional localization. We studied the basic characteristics of the proposed system by making GNP work in a functionally localized way.

  • Training quasi-ARX neural network model by homotopy approach

    JL Hu, XB Lu, K Hirasawa

    SICE 2004 ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-3   Sapporo   367 - 372  2004

     View Summary

    Quasi-ARX neural networks (NN) are NN based nonlinear models that not only have linear structures similar to linear ARX models, but also have useful interpretation in part of their parameters. However when applying an ordinary backpropagation (BP) for the training, it has potential risk that the BP algorithm is stuck at a local minimum, which results in a poorly trained model. In this paper, a homotopy continuation method is introduced to improve the convergence performance of BP training. The idea is to start the BP training with the criterion function for linear ARX model, which is gradually deformed first into one for quasi-ARX NN model with linear node functions, and then into the actual one for quasi-ARX NN with sigmoid node functions. By building the deformation into a usual recursive procedure for BP training of quasi-ARX NN model with adaptable node functions so that the proposed homotopy based BP algorithm is able to achieve improved convergence performance without much increase in the computation load. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed homotopy based BP has better performance than an ordinary BP.

  • A robust control method for a PV-supplied DC motor using universal learning networks

    A Hussein, K Hirasawa, JL Hu

    SOLAR ENERGY   76 ( 6 ) 771 - 780  2004

     View Summary

    In this paper, a new robust control method and its application to a photovoltaic (PV) supplied, separately excited DC motor loaded with a constant torque is discussed. The robust controller is designed against the load torque changes by using the first and second ordered derivatives of the universal learning networks (ULNs). These derivatives are calculated using the forward propagation algorithm, which is considered as an extended version of real time recurrent learning (RTRL). In this application, two ULN&apos;s are used: The first is the ULN identifier trained offline to emulate the dynamic performance of the DC motor system. The second is the ULN controller, which is trained online not only to make the motor speed follow a selected reference signal, but also to make the overall system operate at the maximum power point of the PV source. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed robust control method, the simulation is carried out at four different values of the robustness coefficient in two different stages: The training stage, in which the simulation is done for a constant load torque. And the control stage, in which the controller performance is obtained when the load torque is changed. The simulation results showed that the robustness of the control system is improved although the motor load torque at the control stage is different from that at the training stage.

     View Summary

    Genetic Network Programming (GNP) is a kind of evolutionary methods, which evolves arbitrary directed graph programs. Previously, the program size of GNP was fixed. In the paper, a new method is proposed, where the program size is adaptively changed depending on the frequency of the use of nodes. To control and to decide a program size are important and difficult problems in Evolutionary Computation, especially, a well-known crossover operator tends to cause bloat. We introduce two additional operators, add operator and delete operator, that can change the number of each kind of nodes based on whether a node function is important in the environment or not. Simulation results shows that the proposed method brings about extremely better results compared with ordinary fixed size GNP. © 2003, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

     View Summary

    Neural networks have attracted much interest in system identification and control communities because they can learn any nonlinear mapping. However, from a user's point of view, when neural networks are used as models for controller design, they do not have structures of easy use. This paper introduces a new neural network based prediction model for control of nonlinear systems. Distinctive features of the new model to conventional neural-network based ones are that it has not only meaningful interpretation on part of its parameters but also is linear for the input variables. The former feature makes parameter estimation easier and the latter allows us to derive a nonlinear controller directly from the identified prediction model. The modeling and the parameter estimation are described in detail. The usefulness of the new model is demonstrated by using numerical simulations.

    A variety of neuron models combine the neural inputs through their summation and sigmoidal functions. Such structure of neural networks leads to shortcomings such as a large number of neurons in hidden layers and huge training data required. We introduce a kind of multiplication neuron which multiplies their inputs instead of summing to overcome the above problems. A hybrid universal learning network constructed by the combination of multiplication units arid summation units is proposed and trained for several well known benchmark problems. Different combinations of the above two are tried. It is clarified that multiplication is an essential computational element in many cases and the combination of the multiplication units with summation units in different layers in the networks improved the performance of the network. © 2003, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

     View Summary

    A new evolutionary model with the network structure named Genetic Network Programming (GNP) has been proposed recently. GNP, that is, an expansion of GA and GP, represents solutions as a network structure and evolves it by using “offline learning (selection, mutation, crossover)”. GNP can memorize the past action sequences in the network flow, so it can deal with Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) well. In this paper, in order to improve the ability of GNP, Q learning (an off-policy TD control algorithm) that is one of the famous online methods is introduced for online learning of GNP. Q learning is suitable for GNP because (1) in reinforcement learning, the rewards an agent will get in the future can be estimated, (2) TD control doesn't need much memory and can learn quickly, and (3) off-policy is suitable in order to search for an optimal solution independently of the policy. Finally, in the simulations, online learning of GNP is applied to a player for “Prisoner's dilemma game“ and its ability for online adaptation is confirmed. © 2003, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

  • Function Approximation Using LVQ

    Transactions of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers   39 ( 5 ) 513 - 519  2003

     View Summary

    Neural networks with local activation functions, for example RBFNs (Radial Basis Function Networks), have a merit of excellent generalization abilities. When this type of network is used in function approximation, it is very important to determine the proper division of the input space into local regions to each of which a local activation function is assigned. In RBFNs, this is equivalent to determination of the locations and the numbers of its RBFs, which is generally done based on the distribution of input data. But, in function approximation, the output information (the value of the function to be approximated) must be considered in determination of the local regions. A new method is proposed that uses LVQ network to approximate functions based on the output information. It divides the input space into regions with a prototype vector at the center of each region. The ordinary LVQ, however, outputs discrete values only, and therefore can not deal with continuous functions. In this paper, a technique is proposed to solve this problem. Examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    Genetic algorithms are often well suited for optimization problems because of their parallel searching and evolutionary ability. Crossover and mutation are believed to be the main exploration operators. In this paper, we focus on how crossover and mutation work in binary-coded genetic algorithm and investigate their effects on bit's frequency of population. According to the analysis of equilibrium of crossover, we can see the bit-based simulated crossover (BSC) is strong crossover method. Furthermore, to increase robustness of binary-coded genetic algorithm, multi-generation inheritance evolutionary strategy(MGIS) was proposed. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2003, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. All rights reserved.

  • Neural Networks with Node Gates which Divide and Conquer Problems Based on Local Difficulties

    MURATA Junichi, KAJIWARA Yoshitatsu, HIRASAWA Kotaro

    Transactions of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers   39 ( 9 ) 841 - 847  2003

     View Summary

    A neural network is proposed based on a divide-and-conquer scheme. The network has gates which control firing of its hidden nodes. By opening and closing the gates depending on input values, the network divides the input space into sub-regions and assigns its nodes to each of them to produce the desired output in that region. The division mechanism is constructed by learning. A new learning method is proposed which divides the space in accordance to the difficulties; areas with larger errors are divided into smaller sub-regions. Thus, the nodes in the network are more densely assigned to areas with higher difficulties to 'conquer' the areas appropriately. Function approximation examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed network.

Q learning is suitable for GNP because (1) in reinforcement learning, the rewards an agent will get in the future can be estimated, (2) TD control doesn't need much memory and can learn quickly, and (3) off-policy is suitable in order to search for an optimal solution independently of the policy. Finally, in the simulations, online learning of GNP is applied to a player for “Prisoner's dilemma game“ and its ability for online adaptation is confirmed. © 2003, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

  • Function Approximation Using LVQ

    S. Min Kyu, J. Murata, K. Hirasawa

    計測自動制御学会論文集   39 ( 5 ) 513 - 519  2003

     View Summary

    Neural networks with local activation functions, for example RBFNs (Radial Basis Function Networks), have a merit of excellent generalization abilities. When this type of network is used in function approximation, it is very important to determine the proper division of the input space into local regions to each of which a local activation function is assigned. In RBFNs, this is equivalent to determination of the locations and the numbers of its RBFs, which is generally done based on the distribution of input data. But, in function approximation, the output information (the value of the function to be approximated) must be considered in determination of the local regions. A new method is proposed that uses LVQ network to approximate functions based on the output information. It divides the input space into regions with a prototype vector at the center of each region. The ordinary LVQ, however, outputs discrete values only, and therefore can not deal with continuous functions. In this paper, a technique is proposed to solve this problem. Examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • Increasing Robustness of Binary-coded Genetic Algorithm

    IEEJ Transactions on Electronics, Information and Systems   123 ( 9 ) 1625 - 1630  2003

     View Summary

    Genetic algorithms are often well suited for optimization problems because of their parallel searching and evolutionary ability. Crossover and mutation are believed to be the main exploration operators. In this paper, we focus on how crossover and mutation work in binary-coded genetic algorithm and investigate their effects on bit's frequency of population. According to the analysis of equilibrium of crossover, we can see the bit-based simulated crossover (BSC) is strong crossover method. Furthermore, to increase robustness of binary-coded genetic algorithm, multi-generation inheritance evolutionary strategy(MGIS) was proposed. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2003, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. All rights reserved.

    ICONIP 2002 - Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Neural Information Processing: Computational Intelligence for the E-Age   3   1267 - 1271  2002

     View Summary

    This paper introduces a new method for applying multilayer perceptron (MLP) network to control of nonlinear systems. The MLP network is not used directly as a nonlinear controller, but used indirectly via an ARX-like macro-model. The ARX-like model incorporating MLP network is constructed in such a way that it has similar linear properties to a linear ARX model. The nonlinear controller is then designed in the same way as designing a linear controller based on a linear ARX model. Numerical simulations are carried to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method.

     View Summary

    In this paper, RasID is enhanced and evaluated systematically. RasID is an abbreviation of Random Search with Intensification and Diversification. RasID can search for a global minimum based on a probabilitiy density function, which can be modified adaptively using information based on success and failure of the past searching. As a result, RasID performs intensified search and diversified search iteratively to find a global minimum.<br>The improvements of RasID are, (1) the probability density function is modified so that each variable can have its own unique density function, and (2) multiple candidates for solutions are created in the search to enhance the efficiency of the searching.<br>Modified RasID is compared systematically with typical optimization methods such as Evolutionary. Programming and Fast Evolutionary Programming introduced recently using 23 different complibated functions. From simulation results, it has been clarified that the performance of Modified RasID is comparable to the ones of EP and FEP in spite of using one individual.

    In this paper, a multi-branch structure of neural networks is studied to make their size compact. The multi-branch structure has shown improved performance against conventional neural networks. As a result, it has been proved that the number of nodes of networks and the computational cost for training networks can be reduced. In addition, it could be said that proposed multi-branch networks are special cases of higher order neural networks, however, they obtain higher order effect easier without suffering the parameter explosion problem.

     View Summary

    This paper studies how the generalization ability of models of dynamical systems can be improved by taking advantage of the second order derivatives of the outputs with respect to the external inputs. The proposed method can be regarded as a direct implementation of the well-known regularization technique using the higher order derivatives of the Universal Learning Networks (ULN's). ULNs consist of a number of interconnected nodes where the nodes may have any continuously differentiable nonlinear functions in them and each pair of nodes can be connected by multiple branches with arbitrary time delays. A generalized learning algorithm has been derived for the ULNs, in which both the first order derivatives (gradients) and the higher order derivatives are incorporated. First, the method for computing the second order derivatives of ULNs is discussed. Then, a new method for implementing the regularization term is presented. Finally, simulation studies on identification of a nonlinear dynamical system with noises are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the generalization ability of neural networks significantly, especially in terms that (1) the robust network can be obtained even when the branches of trained ULNs are destructed, and (2) the obtained performance does not depend on the initial parameter values.

  • A homotopy approach to improving PEM identification of ARMAX models

    JL Hu, K Hirasawa, K Kumamaru

    AUTOMATICA   37 ( 9 ) 1323 - 1334  2001.09

     View Summary

    This paper presents a homotopy approach to improving PEM identification of ARMAX model. PEM estimates of ARMAX model parameters are determined as the global minimum of criterion function, which is however not always unimodal because of the MA noise model part. An optimization-based PEM identification algorithm has a potential risk to be stuck at a local minimum that results in a poorly identified model. A homotopy continuation method is introduced to solve this problem. The idea is to start the estimation with the criterion function for PEM identification of the ARX model, which is gradually deformed into the actual one for PEM identification of the ARMAX model as the algorithm iterates. By building the deformation into the usual recursive procedure for the ARMAX identification and introducing a scheme to control the solution continuously staying in the global minima of the deformed criterion functions, the homotopy-based PEM identification algorithm is implemented in such a way that it has very good convergence performance, with only little increase in computation load compared to the usual PEM algorithm.

     View Summary

    A new control method of nonlinear dynamic systems is proposed based on the impulse responses of universal learning networks (ULNs). ULNs form a superset of neural networks.

    A new control method of nonlinear dynamic systems is proposed based on the impulse responses of universal learning networks (ULNs). ULNs form a superset of neural networks. They consist of a number of interconnected nodes where the nodes may have any continuously differentiable nonlinear functions in them and each pair of nodes can be connected by multiple branches with arbitrary time delays. A generalized learning algorithm is derived for the ULNs, in which both the first order derivatives (gradients) and the higher order derivatives are incorporated.

    Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics)   2130   937 - 942  2001

     View Summary

    This paper discusses the problem of applying sigmoidal neural networks to identification of nonlinear dynamical systems. When using sigmoidal neural networks directly as nonlinear models, one often meets problems such as model parameters lack of physical meaning, sensitivity to noise in model training. In this paper, we introduce an embedded sigmoidal neural network model, in which the neural network is not used directly as a model, but is embedded in a shield such that part of the model parameters become meaningful. Corresponding to the meaningful part and the meaningless part of model parameters, a hierarchical training algorithm consisting of two learning loops is then introduced to train the model. Simulation results show that such a dual loop learning algorithm can solve the noise sensitivity and local minimum problems to some extent.

    Evolutionary Algorithms are often well-suited for optimization problems. Since mid 1980's, the interest in multi-objective problems has been expanding rapidly. Various evolutionary algorithms for multiobjective problems have been developed which are capable of searching for multiple solutions concurrently in a single run. In this paper, we propose a new genetic symbiosis algorithm (GSA) for multiobjective optimization problems (MOP) based on the symbiotic concept found widely in ecosystems. In the proposed GSA for MOP, a set of symbiotic parameters are introduced to modify the fitness of individuals used for reproduction so as to obtain a variety of Pareto solutions corresponding to user's demands. The symbiotic parameters are trained by minimizing a user defined criterion function. Several numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed GSA.

     View Summary

    This paper presents a method for searching for the optimal paths for autonomously moving agents in mazes by modified Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) in a reinforcement learning framework. LVQ algorithm is faster than Q-learning algorithms because LVQ concentrates on the best behavior in available behaviors while Q-learning algorithms calculate values of all available behaviors and choose the best behavior among them. However, ordinary LVQ sometimes mis-learns in the reinforcement learning environment due to erroneous teacher signals. Here a new LVQ algorithm is proposed to overcome this problem, which finds the optimal path more efficiently.

They consist of a number of inter-connected nodes where the nodes may have any continuously differentiable nonlinear functions in them and each pair of nodes can be connected by multiple branches with arbitrary time delays. Therefore, physical systems which can be described by differential or difference equations and also their controllers can be modeled in a unified way. So, ULN's constitute a superset of neural networks or fuzzy neural networks. In order to optimize the systems, a generalized learning algorithm is derived for the ULN's, in which both the first order derivatives (gradients) and the higher order derivatives are incorporated. The derivatives are calculated by using forward or backward propagation schemes. These algorithms for calculating the derivatives are extended versions of back propagation through time (BPTT) and real time recurrent learning (RTRL) by Williams in the sense that generalized nonlinear functions and higher order derivatives are dealt with. As an application of ULN's, the higher order derivative, one of the distinguished features of ULN's, is applied to realizing a robust control system in this paper, In addition, it is shown that the higher order derivatives are effective tools to realize sophisticated control of nonlinear systems. Other features of ULN's such as multiple branches with arbitrary time delays and using a priori information will be discussed in other papers.

    We present a novel growing RBF network structure using SOM in this paper. It consists of SOM and RBF networks respectively. The SOM performs unsupervised learning and also the weight vectors belonging to its out-put nodes are transmitted to the hidden nodes in the RBF networks as the centers of RBF activation functions, as a result one to one correspondence relationship is realized between the output nodes in SOM and the hidden nodes in RBF networks. The RBF networks perform supervised training using delta rule. Therefore, the current output errors in the RBF networks can be used to determine where to insert a new SOM unit according to the rule. This also makes it possible to make the RBF networks grow until a performance criterion is fulfilled or until a desired network size is obtained. The simulations on the two-spirals benchmark are shown to prove the proposed networks have good performance.

    Evolutionary Algorithms are often well-suited for optimization problems. Since the mid-1980's, interest in multiobjective problems has been expanding rapidly. Various evolutionary algorithms have been developed which are capable of searching for multiple solutions concurrently in a single run. In this paper, we proposed a genetic symbiosis algorithm (GSA) for multi-object optimization problems (MOP) based on the symbiotic concept found widely in ecosystem. In the proposed CSA for MOP, a set of symbiotic parameters are introduced to modify the fitness of individuals used for reproduction so as to obtain a variety of Pareto solutions corresponding to user's demands. The symbiotic parameters are trained by minimizing a user defined criterion function. Several numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed GSA.

     View Summary

    A method is proposed for designing three layer neural networks that gives relevant network structures which assure global minimization of learning errors for small training sets and small learning errors for big training sets both irrespective of the initial values. A condition on network structure is considered to achieve the above purpose, and a number of possible structures are provided together with their learning algorithms. Also, the generalization abilities of the network structures are discussed to guide the choice of structures in practice. All of the proposed structures for small training sets have zero errors after learning by a gradient-based algorithm and thus solve the local minima problem. The difference between them is in the level of locality and generalization abilities. For a big training set, first, the structure with zero learning errors for part of training data is obtained, then all of training data are used to train the network of the given structure, which improves the generalization abilities. Numerical examples are provided that support the present approach.

     View Summary

    A new chaos control method is proposed which is useful for taking advantage of chaos and avoiding it. The proposed method is based on the following facts: 1) chaotic phenomena can be generated and eliminated by controlling maximum Lyapunov exponent of systems and 2) maximum Lyapunov exponent can be formulated and calculated by using higher order derivatives of Universal Learning Networks (ULN's). ULN's consist of a number of inter-connected nodes where the nodes may have any continuously differentiable nonlinear functions in them and each pair of nodes can be connected by multiple branches with arbitrary time delays. A generalized learning algorithm has been derived for the ULN's, in which both the first-order derivatives (gradients) and the higher order derivatives are incorporated. In simulations, parameters of ULN's with bounded node outputs are adjusted for maximum Lyapunov component to approach the target value. And, it has been shown that a fully connected ULN with three sigmoidal function nodes is able to generate and eliminate chaotic behaviors by adjusting the parameters.

    A new chaos control method is proposed which is useful for taking advantage of chaos and avoiding it. The proposed method is based on the following facts: 1) chaotic phenomena can be generated and eliminated by controlling maximum Lyapunov exponent of systems and 2) maximum Lyapunov exponent can be formulated and calculated by using higher order derivatives of Universal Learning Networks (ULN's). ULN's consist of a number of inter-connected nodes where the nodes may have any continuously differentiable nonlinear functions in them and each pair of nodes can be connected by multiple branches with arbitrary time delays. A generalized learning algorithm has been derived for the ULN's, in which both the first-order derivatives (gradients) and the higher order derivatives are incorporated. In simulations, parameters of ULN's with bounded node outputs are adjusted for maximum Lyapunov component to approach the target value. And, it has been shown that a fully connected ULN with three sigmoidal function nodes is able to generate and eliminate chaotic behaviors by adjusting the parameters.

  • Universal learning network and its application to robust control

     View Summary

    Universal learning networks (ULN's) and robust control system design are discussed. ULN's provide a generalized framework to model and control complex systems. They consist of a number of inter-connected nodes where the nodes may have any continuously differentiable nonlinear functions in them and each pair of nodes can be connected by multiple branches with arbitrary time delays. Therefore, physical systems which can be described by differential or difference equations and also their controllers can be modeled in a unified way. So, ULN's constitute a superset of neural networks or fuzzy neural networks. In order to optimize the systems, a generalized learning algorithm is derived for the ULN's, in which both the first order derivatives (gradients) and the higher order derivatives are incorporated. The derivatives are calculated by using forward or backward propagation schemes. These algorithms for calculating the derivatives are extended versions of back propagation through time (BPTT) and real time recurrent learning (RTRL) by Williams in the sense that generalized nonlinear functions and higher order derivatives are dealt with. As an application of ULN's, the higher order derivative, one of the distinguished features of ULN's, is applied to realizing a robust control system in this paper. In addition, it is shown that the higher order derivatives are effective tools to realize sophisticated control of nonlinear systems. Other features of ULN's such as multiple branches with arbitrary time delays and using a priori information will be discussed in other papers.

    According to recent knowledge of brain science, it is suggested that there exists functions distribution, which means that specific parts exist in the brain for realizing specific functions. This paper introduces a new brain-like model called Learning Petri Network (LPN) that has the capability of functions distribution and learning, The idea is to use Petri net to realize the functions distribution and to incorporate the learning and representing ability of neural network into the Petri net. The obtained LPN can be used in the same way as a neural network to model and control dynamic systems, while it is distinctive to a neural network in that it has the capability of functions distribution, An application of the LPN to nonlinear crane control systems is discussed. It is shown via numerical simulations that the proposed LPN controller has superior performance to the commonly-used neural network one.

    研究室では、遺伝的アルゴリズム(GA)や遺伝的プログラミング(GP)とは異なる新しい進化論的計算手法ー遺伝的ネットワークプログラミング(Genetic Network Programming,GNP)の研究・開発を進めている。GNPは遺伝子として、判定ノードと処理ノードからなる有向グラフで構成されており、ノード間の接続およびノード関数を進化論的計算手法により最適化する点が特徴である。したがって、・必要な判定のみで適切な処理を実行する部分観測マルコフ過程に応用できる。・判定ノードと処理ノードの重複活用が可能なため、コンパクトな遺伝子を構成できる。・有向グラフによるネットワーク遺伝子のため、過去の状況に依存した判定が可能であり、 遺伝子の中にメモリー機能を持つことができる。など、従来の進化論的計算手法に比較して数多くの有利な点がある。本特定課題では、ロボットあるいはエージェントの人口脳をGNPを活用して構成論的に構築し、それを各種の応用に展開することにある。人口脳の構成に関しては・学習と進化を統合した最適化のアルゴリズム・脳の機能局在を実現するアルゴリズムなどを検討した。また人口脳の応用に関しては・エレベータ群管理システムのコントローラ・株の売買を行うトレーダの人口脳などに展開する研究を進めてきた。
