Evolutionary algorithms in control systems engineering: a survey
TL;DR: In this paper, the important role of evolutionary algorithms in multi-objective optimisation is highlighted, and evolutionary advances in adaptive control and multidisciplinary design are predicted, as well as significant applications in parameter and structure optimisation for controller design and model identification, in addition to fault diagnosis, reliable systems, robustness analysis, and robot control.

Piotr S. Gromski,Howbeer Muhamadali,David I. Ellis,Yun Xu,Elon Correa,Michael L. Turner,Royston Goodacre +6 more
TL;DR: This tutorial review aims to provide an introductory overview to several straightforward statistical methods such as principal component-discriminant function analysis (PC-DFA), support vector machines (SVM) and random forests (RF), which could very easily be used either to augment PLS or as alternative supervised learning methods to PLS-DA.
