Release Highlights of PlatEMO 4.0

Release Note can be found here

• Dynamic optimization, multitasking optimization, bilevel optimization, and robust optimization are now supported in PlatEMO.

• Hybrid encoding is now supported in PlatEMO, where a problem can include real variables, integral variables, label variables, binary variables, and permutation variables simultaneously.

• Maximum runtime is provided as a new termination criterion, which can be set instead of maximum number of function evaluations.

• More algorithms and problems for single-objective optimization, multi-objective optimization, constrained optimization, sparse optimization, expensive optimization, multimodal optimization, dynamic optimization, multitasking optimization, bilevel optimization, and robust optimization. There are currently 216 algorithms and 432 problems in the platform.

• More efficient and powerful GUI, where the execution of algorithms in the test module and application module is highly accelerated.

• More performance metrics for different types of optimization problems, and the metrics are also tagged with labels. Different metrics will be shown in the dropdown lists when selecting different labels in the GUI.

• Gradient based search is now supported in PlatEMO, where users can define gradient functions to accelerate the convergence via mathematical programming algorithms and gradient assisted evolutionary algorithms.

Features of PlatEMO

• Totally Developed in MATLAB
  PlatEMO consists of a number of MATLAB functions without using any other libraries. Any machines able to run MATLAB can use PlatEMO regardless of the operating system.

• Includes Many Popular Algorithms
  PlatEMO includes more than ninety existing popular MOEAs, including genetic algorithm, differential evolution, particle swarm optimization, memetic algorithm, estimation of distribution algorithm, and surrogate model based algorithm. Most of them are representative algorithms published in top journals after 2010.

• Various Figure Demonstrations
  Users can select various figures to be displayed, including the Pareto front of the result, the Pareto set of the result, the true Pareto front, and the evolutionary trajectories of any performance indicator values.

• Powerful and Friendly GUI
  PlatEMO provides a powerful and friendly GUI, where users can configure all the settings and perform experiments in parallel via the GUI without writing any code.

• Generates Data in the Format of Excel or LaTeX
  Users can save the statistical experimental results generated by PlatEMO as an Excel table or LaTeX table, which can be directly used in academic writings.
