• Abstract: The design of food diets in the context of animal nutrition is a complex problem that aims to develop cost-effective formulations while balancing minimum nutritional content. Traditional approaches based on theoretical models of metabolic responses and concentrations of digestible energy in raw materials face limitations in incorporating zootechnical or environmental variables affecting the performance of animals and including multiple objectives aligned with sustainable development policies. Recently, multi-objective Bayesian optimization has been proposed as a promising heuristic alternative able to deal with the combination of multiple sources of information, multiple and diverse objectives, and with an intrinsic capacity to deal with uncertainty in the measurements that could be related to variability in the nutritional content of raw materials. However, Bayesian optimization encounters difficulties in high-dimensional search spaces, leading to exploration predominantly at the boundaries. This work analyses a strategy to split the search space into regions that provide local candidates termed multi-objective regionalized Bayesian optimization as an alternative to improve the quality of the Pareto set and Pareto front approximation provided by BO in the context of swine diet design. Results indicate that this regionalized approach produces more diverse non-dominated solutions compared to the standard multi-objective Bayesian optimization. Besides, the regionalized strategy was four times more effective in finding solutions that outperform those identified by a stochastic programming approach referenced in the literature. Experiments using batches of query candidate solutions per iteration show that the optimization process can also be accelerated without compromising the quality of the Pareto set approximation during the initial, most critical phase of optimization.

We introduce an innovative RP selection strategy, the Vector-Guided Weight-Hybrid method, designed to overcome the local optima issue. Our research comprises two main experimental components: an ablation involving 14 algorithms within the MOEADs framework from 2014 to 2022 to validate our theoretical framework, and a series empirical tests to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method against both traditional and cutting-edge alternatives.

  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.
