A hybrid CFGTSA based approach for scheduling problem: a case study of an automobile industry
In the global competitive world swift, reliable and cost effective production subject to uncertain situations, through an appropriate management of the available resources, has turned out to be the necessity for surviving in the market. This inspired the development of the more efficient and robust methods to counteract the existing complexities prevailing in the market. The present paper proposes a hybrid CFGTSA algorithm inheriting the salient features of GA, TS, SA, and chaotic theory to solve the complex scheduling problems commonly faced by most of the manufacturing industries. The proposed CFGTSA algorithm has been tested on a scheduling problem of an automobile industry, and its efficacy has been shown by comparing the results with GA, SA, TS, GTS, and hybrid TSA algorithms
Evaluation of a Tree-based Pipeline Optimization Tool for Automating Data Science
As the field of data science continues to grow, there will be an
ever-increasing demand for tools that make machine learning accessible to
non-experts. In this paper, we introduce the concept of tree-based pipeline
optimization for automating one of the most tedious parts of machine
learning---pipeline design. We implement an open source Tree-based Pipeline
Optimization Tool (TPOT) in Python and demonstrate its effectiveness on a
series of simulated and real-world benchmark data sets. In particular, we show
that TPOT can design machine learning pipelines that provide a significant
improvement over a basic machine learning analysis while requiring little to no
input nor prior knowledge from the user. We also address the tendency for TPOT
to design overly complex pipelines by integrating Pareto optimization, which
produces compact pipelines without sacrificing classification accuracy. As
such, this work represents an important step toward fully automating machine
learning pipeline design.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, preprint to appear in GECCO 2016, edits not yet

Interpretable deep learning for guided structure-property explorations in photovoltaics
The performance of an organic photovoltaic device is intricately connected to
its active layer morphology. This connection between the active layer and
device performance is very expensive to evaluate, either experimentally or
computationally. Hence, designing morphologies to achieve higher performances
is non-trivial and often intractable. To solve this, we first introduce a deep
convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture that can serve as a fast and
robust surrogate for the complex structure-property map. Several tests were
performed to gain trust in this trained model. Then, we utilize this fast
framework to perform robust microstructural design to enhance device
performance.Comment: Workshop on Machine Learning for Molecules and Materials (MLMM),
