TLDR
These penalty-based methods for handling constraints in Genetic Algorithms are presented and discussed and their strengths and weaknesses are discussed.Abstract:
Genetic Algorithms are most directly suited to unconstrained optimization. Application of Genetic Algorithms to constrained optimization problems is often a challenging effort. Several methods have been proposed for handling constraints. The most common method in Genetic Algorithms to handle constraints is to use penalty functions. In this paper, we present these penalty-based methods and discuss their strengths and weaknesses.read more

An unsupervised learning approach for multilayer perceptron networks: Learning driven by validity indices
TL;DR: This work proposes to replace the known labels by a set of such labels induced by a validity index and results in an unsupervised learning approach for multilayer perceptron networks that allows us to infer the best model relative to labels derived from such a validityIndex which uncovers the hidden relationships of an unlabeled dataset.

Search space filling and shrinking based to solve constraint optimization problems
TL;DR: A novel algorithm, called search space filling and shrinking algorithm (SSFSA), is proposed, which seeks a smaller search space which covers all the feasible domains, then fills the unfeasible search space to acquire a regular search space.
