Tutorials Tutorial 1 Wednesday, September 2, 10:00 - 11:00 Room: Sala de Grados A Title: A Tutorial on Manifold Clustering using Genetic Algorithms Speaker: Dr. Héctor D. Menéndez, Computer Science Department, University College

London, UK Abstract: Automatic Manifold identification is currently a challenging problem in Machine Learning. This process consists on separating a dataset blindly, according to the form defined by the data instances in the space. Data are discriminated in groups defined by their form. These approaches are usually focused on continuity-based methods where the manifold follows a continuity criterion. Currently, clustering techniques try to deal with the discrimination process, but there are a few algorithms that can generate an accurate and robust discrimination. This tutorial aims to present new different approaches, specially focused on Genetic Algorithms, which can deal with these problems. Tutorial 2 Thursday, September 3rd, 10:00 - 11:00 Room: Sala de Grados A Title: Sensor Fusion Engineering. Introduction, techniques and applications Speaker: Dr. Jesús García, Computer Science Department, Universidad Carlos III de

Madrid, Spain Abstract: The objective of seminar is introducing sensor fusion techniques and system design problems, illustrated with representative examples: air traffic monitoring and trajectory analysis, contextualized and coordinated surveillance networks. System-level design of a data fusion process involves many detailed technical problems: source characterization, common referencing of data streams sources, association to objects in the scene, state estimation, situation understanding, etc. Data fusion technologies including detection (or decision) theory, estimation theory, and parametric and non-parametric algorithm solutions are required. As presented here, the classical approaches can be extended or complemented with some Computational Intelligence techniques used to improve adaptability and robustness of solutions: optimization, coordination, knowledge representation, machine learning, etc. This is applicable in domains requiring a high degree of customized sensor fusion and demanding robust solutions for operational conditions, combining the use of classical fusion techniques with higher level criteria to drive the system behaviour. The talk will illustrate experiences in specific sensor fusion projects and the applied techniques: sensor fusion and intelligent systems in air traffic control (ATC) systems, and surveillance networks in the airport surface domain.

Tutorial 3 Friday, September 4, 09:00 - 11:00 Room: Sala de Grados A Title: How to successfully apply Genetic Algorithms in practice: Representation and Parametrization Speakers: Dr. Alexander Asteroth, Computer Science Department, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg

University, Germany Alexander Hagg, Computer Science Department, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University, Germany

Abstract: Evolutionary computation and genetic algorithms (GA) in particular have in been applied very successfully to many real world application problems. However the success or failure of applying Genetic Algorithms highly depends on how a problem is represented. Additionally the number of free parameters makes applying these methods a science of its own which presents a huge barrier to beginners in this area. This course will give a brief summary on various representations, discuss parametrization and their influence on the dynamics of GA solvers, the last being the main topic of the course. The tutorial will be complemented with a practical exercise that can be solved overnight and will serve as basis in the second half of the tutorial, where we will discuss good and bad choices for parameters and representation. Prerequisites: background in programming (Python will be used) Target audience: Students with only basic experience in GA Tutorial 3 Friday, September 4, 14:00 - 15:00 Room: Sala de Grados A Title: Ant Colony Optimization Models in Constraint Satisfaction-based Applications Speaker: Dr. Antonio Gonzalez. Basque Center for Applied Mathematics-TECNALIA,

Spain Abstract: Nowadays, there is a huge number of applications that can be modelled, and solve, as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). CSP belongs to this kind of traditional NP-hard problems with a high impact in both, research and industrial domains. The goal of these problems is to find an assignation for the set of variables in such a way a set of restrictions can be satisfied. This kind of NP-hard problems needs from a huge number of computational resources even for simple problems. For this reason, different heuristic methods has been studied to find feasible solutions in this domain. This tutorial will explain the different existing Ant Colony Optimization Models for solving CSP-based applications.

Keynote Speeches Keynote 1 Wednesday, September 2, 11:30 - 12:30 Room: Sala de Grados A Title: Intelligent System Applications in Different Domains: Visual Information Systems, Industrial Engineering, and Forensic Identification Speaker: Oscar Cordón, University of Granada, Spain Abstract: Computational Intelligence focuses on the design of hybrid intelligent systems combining nature-inspired computational approaches for real-world problem solving in a huge amount of application fields. The successful achievements obtained by these kinds of systems over the last two decades have resulted in an important paradigm shift in the artificial intelligence area. While dealing with the long-standing tasks (i.e. knowledge representation and reasoning, learning, heuristic search, …), intelligent systems provide sophisticated approaches for reasoning under imprecision and uncertainty incorporating advanced optimization, search and machine learning capabilities. In this keynote we will review three different instances of such hybrid intelligent systems from rather different domains. The first one deals with multiobjective machine learning for information systems. The analysis and comparison of visual science maps will be tackled as a single- and multiobjective graph mining task, both using the classical Subdue method based on a beam search and extended variants based on evolutionary multiobjective optimization. Experiments on scientograms generated from Elsevier Scopus data will be reported. The second application involves an industrial engineering problem from the automotive industry. Multiobjective metaheuristics (ant colony optimization, genetic and memetic algorithms) incorporating an expert preference elicitation scheme will be used to deal with a realistic two-objective assembly line balancing problem, considering real data of the Nissan Pathfinder engine from the Nissan plant at Barcelona. Finally, the development of an automatic method to assist forensic anthropologists in the identification of deceased people through craniofacial superimposition will be introduced. This patented intelligent system considers the use of evolutionary/memetic algorithms and fuzzy sets for the automatic 3D skull model – 2D face photograph overlay. The results obtained in several identification cases solved by the University of Granada’s Physical Anthropology Lab in cooperation with the Spanish Scientific Police will be reviewed.

Keynote 2 Thursday, September 3, 11:30 - 12:30 Room: Sala de Grados A Title: Combining Metaheuristics with ILP Solvers in Combinatorial Optimization Speaker: Christian Blum, University of the Basque Country, Spain Abstract: Metaheuristics are approximate methods for optimization including, among others, ant colony optimization, evolutionary algorithms and tabu search. The combination of metaheuristics with complete techniques, such as integer linear programming (ILP) solvers, is one of the current lines of research in optimization. The main aim behind such approaches is to exploit the complementary character of different optimization strategies in order to obtain robust algorithms that generate high-quality solutions in reasonable computation times. Given a combinatorial optimization problem, general purpose ILP solvers such as CPLEX are often highly efficient for solving small to medium sized problem instances. This is because they are the result of many years of research. Moreover, they represent efficient implementations of cutting edge technologies in ILP solving. However, naturally they reach their limits with growing problem instance size. One of the motivations for the combination of metaheuristics with ILP solvers such as CPLEX is the aim to take profit from the application of the ILP solver even though the given problem instances are too large for applying these solvers directly. In this keynote talk we will present several examples of our recent work that have resulted from the motivation outlined above. These examples are centered around the questions of (1) how a given problem instance can be split into subproblems and (2) how a given problem instance can be reduced in such a way that the resulting sub-instance is rather small but still contains high-quality solutions to the original problem instance.
