Not Just for Archiving: Provable Benefits of Reusing the Archive in Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization

AAAI 2026technical

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have become the most popular tool for solving widely-existed multi-objective optimization problems. In Multi-Objective EAs (MOEAs), there is increasing interest in using an archive to store non-dominated solutions generated during the search. This approach can 1) mitiga

One for Exploration and Another for Exploitation: A Dual-Population MOEA Framework with Provable Benefits

IJCAI 2026

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are currently the most popular tool for solving multi-objective optimization problems. Balancing exploration and exploitation is fundamental to the performance of Multi-Objective EAs (MOEAs). Achieving this requires maintaining a set of high-quality solutions for effect

Theoretical Analysis of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms on Integer Spaces with Local Optima

IJCAI 2026

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are popular tools for multi-objective optimization (MOO), and have been successfully applied to many real-world MOO problems. However, the theoretical study has lagged behind their practical success and remains largely confined to synthetic pseudo-Bool

A Theoretical Perspective on Why Stochastic Population Update Needs an Archive in Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization

IJCAI 2025

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been widely applied to multi-objective optimization due to their population-based nature. Population update, a key component in multi-objective EAs (MOEAs), is usually performed in a greedy, deterministic manner. However, recent studies have questioned this practic
