Abstract

The L-shade algorithm, one of the important meta-heuristics of the last decade, is an adaptive DE variant. It has few control parameters and affects the execution of the algorithm. Determining these correctly has a critical role in algorithm performance. In this study, the control parameters of the L-shade algorithm are determined using irace, an automatic parameter configuration tool. The efficiency of the operation was tested using the CEC 2014 criteria set. The results obtained are compared with the predefined parameters of the L-shade and the parameters obtained by paramils, another parameter determination tool. The results of the experiment showed that better results were obtained with the parameter values obtained with the configuration tool.

L-shade Algoritmasının Otomatik Parametre Yapılandırma Yöntemi ile İyileştirilmesi

Abstract

Son dönemin önemli metasezgisellerinden olan L-shade algoritması uyarlanabilir bir DE varyantıdır. Az sayıda kontrol parametresine sahiptir ve algoritmanın çalışmasını etkilemektedir. Bunların doğru şekilde belirlenmesi algoritma performansında kritik role sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, L-shade algoritmasına ait kontrol parametreleri bir otomatik parametre yapılandırma aracı olan irace kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Yapılan işlemin etkinliği CEC 2014 ölçüt seti kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, L-shade’nin ön tanımlı parametreleri ve bir başka parametre belirleme aracı olan paramils’nin elde ettiği parametreler ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Deney sonuçları göstermiştir ki kullanılan yapılandırma aracı ile elde edilen parametre değerleri ile daha iyi sonuçlar elde edildiği görülmüştür.
