• Abstract: A multi-modal multi-objective optimization problem is a special kind of multi-objective optimization problem with multiple Pareto subsets. In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-modal multi-objective optimization algorithm based on the widely used MOEA/D algorithm. In our proposed algorithm, each weight vector has its own sub-population. With a clearing mechanism and a greedy removal strategy, our proposed algorithm can effectively preserve equivalent Pareto optimal solutions (i.e., different Pareto optimal solutions with same objective values). Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm can effectively preserve the diversity of solutions in the decision space when handling large-scale multi-modal multi-objective optimization problems.

• 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.

  We show that multiobjective optimization does not always produce much diversity, multimodal optimization produces higher fitness solutions, and quality diversity is not sensitive to genetic neutrality. An autoencoder is used to discover phenotypic features automatically, producing an even more diverse solution set with quality diversity.

  Large-scale multiobjective optimization problems (LSMOPs) are characterized as involving hundreds or even thousands of decision variables and multiple conflicting objectives.

This motivates the design of better algorithms for addressing MMMOPs.

• Pareto Multi-Task Learning [53.90732663046125]
  Multi-task learning is a powerful method for solving multiple correlated tasks simultaneously. It is often impossible to find one single solution to optimize all the tasks, since different tasks might conflict with each other. Recently, a novel method is proposed to find one single Pareto optimal solution with good trade-off among different tasks by casting multi-task learning as multiobjective optimization.
