• Abstract: In engineering practice, it is often necessary to increase the effectiveness of existing protective constructions for ports and coasts (i. e. breakwaters) by extending their configuration, because existing configurations don't provide the appropriate environmental conditions. That extension task can be considered as an optimisation problem. In the paper, the multi-objective evolutionary approach for the breakwaters optimisation is proposed. Also, a greedy heuristic is implemented and included to algorithm, that allows achieving the appropriate solution faster. The task of the identification of the attached breakwaters optimal variant that provides the safe ship parking and manoeuvring in large Black Sea Port of Sochi has been used as a case study. The results of the experiments demonstrated the possibility to apply the proposed multi-objective evolutionary approach in real-world engineering problems. It allows identifying the Pareto-optimal set of the possible configuration, which can be analysed by decision makers and used for final construction

• Analyzing and Enhancing the Backward-Pass Convergence of Unrolled Optimization [50.38518771642365]
  The integration of constrained optimization models as components in deep networks has led to promising advances on many specialized learning tasks. A central challenge in this setting is backpropagation through the solution of an optimization problem, which often lacks a closed form. This paper provides theoretical insights into the backward pass of unrolled optimization, showing that it is equivalent to the solution of a linear system by a particular iterative method. A system called Folded Optimization is proposed to construct more efficient backpropagation rules from unrolled solver implementations.

• Evolutionary Solution Adaption for Multi-Objective Metal Cutting Process Optimization [59.45414406974091]
  We introduce a framework for system flexibility that allows us to study the ability of an algorithm to transfer solutions from previous optimization tasks. We study the flexibility of NSGA-II, which we extend by two variants: 1) varying goals, that optimize solutions for two tasks simultaneously to obtain in-between source solutions expected to be more adaptable, and 2) active-inactive genotype, that accommodates different possibilities that can be activated or deactivated. Results show that adaption with standard NSGA-II greatly reduces the number of evaluations required for optimization to a target goal, while the proposed variants further improve the adaption costs.

Existing methods rely on greedy approximations to construct a batch of experiments. We propose a conceptually simple end-to-end gradient-based optimization procedure to acquire a set of optimal intervention target-state pairs.

  The integration of constrained optimization models as components in deep networks has led to promising advances on many specialized learning tasks.

  The goal of this paper is to consider the environment as a decision variable in a system-level optimization problem. We show, through formal proofs, under which conditions the environment can change while guaranteeing completeness. In order to accommodate a broad range of implementation scenarios, we include both online and offline optimization, and both discrete and continuous environment representations.

  In the paper, a multi-objective evolutionary surrogate-assisted approach for the fast and effective generative design of coastal breakwaters is proposed. To approximate the computationally expensive objective functions, the deep convolutional neural network is used as a surrogate model. The experimental results confirm that the proposed approach allows obtaining more effective (less expensive with better protective properties) solutions than non-surrogate approaches for the same time.
