Abstract: This talk discusses the Pareto based approach to solving various machine learning problems. Although machine learning problems inherently have multiple objectives to optimize, these objectives are usually aggregated into a scalar objective optimization function so that traditional mathematical programing techniques such as the gradient based method can be applied. In this talk, we present ideas for solving a range of machine learning problems using evolutionary multi-objective optimization, including model selection and regularization, rule extraction, clustering, feature selection and ensemble generation. We suggest that the multi-objective approach to machine learning may create new perspectives in machine learning and opens up a new avenue for solving machine learning problems.
