Abstract

The quality of candidate solutions in evolutionary computation (EC) depend on multiple independent runs and a large number of them fail to guarantee optimal result. These runs consume more or less equal or sometimes higher amount of computational resources on par the runs that produce desirable
results. This research work addresses these two issues (run quality,
execution time), Run Prediction Model (RPM), in which undesirable quality evolutionary runs are identified to discontinue from their execution. An Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based classifier that learns to discover a prediction model from the early generations of an EC run. We consider Grammatical Evolution (GE) as our EC technique to apply RPM that is evaluated on four symbolic regression problems. We establish that the RPM applied GE produces a significant improvement in the success rate while
reducing the execution time.
