Use of machine learning techniques to model wind damage to forests (2018)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Sim, K., Kamimura, K., Meredieu, C., Guyon, D., & Gardiner, B. (2019). Use of machine learning techniques to model wind damage to forests. Agricultural and forest meteorology, 265, 16-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2018.10.022

This paper tested the ability of machine learning techniques, namely artificial neural networks and random forests, to predict the individual trees within a forest most at risk of damage in storms. Models based on these techniques were developed i... Read More about Use of machine learning techniques to model wind damage to forests.

Selection methods and diversity preservation in many-objective evolutionary algorithms (2018)
Journal Article
Martí, L., Segredo, E., Sánchez-Pi, N., & Hart, E. (2018). Selection methods and diversity preservation in many-objective evolutionary algorithms. Data Technologies and Applications, https://doi.org/10.1108/dta-01-2018-0009

Purpose – One of the main components of multi-objective, and therefore, many-objective evolutionary algorithms is the selection mechanism. It is responsible for performing two main tasks simultaneously. First, it has to promote convergence by selecti...

On the performance of the hybridisation between migrating birds optimisation variants and differential evolution for large scale continuous problems (2018)
Journal Article
Voß, S., Segredo, E., Lalla-Ruiz, E., Hart, E., & Voss, S. (2018). On the performance of the hybridisation between migrating birds optimisation variants and differential evolution for large scale continuous problems. Expert Systems with Applications, 102

Migrating Birds Optimisation (mbo) is a nature-inspired approach which has been shown to be very effective when solving a variety of combinatorial optimisation problems. More recently, an adaptation of the algorithm has been proposed that enables it...
