This paper analyzes some details of artificial in telligence algorithms to paper-reviewer assignment problem. In particular, the study on most common algorithms like genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and tabu-search (TS) is made and the performance of these algorithms in paper-reviewer assignment problem is tested. Moreover, two hybrid methods that efficiently combine the above-mentioned algorithms are proposed: the ACO-GA and GA-TS algorithms. To measure the performance of these algorithms, extensive computational experiments are conducted. Evaluation using different data sets shows that the proposed algorithms are effective and achieve good results.
Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy model to assist with real estate appraisals is described and optimized using evolutionary algorithms. Two approaches were compared in the paper. The first one consisted in learning the rule base and the second one in combining learning the rule base and tuning the membership functions in one process. Moreover two model variants with three and five triangular and trapezoidal membership functions describing each input variable were tested. Several TSK fuzzy models comprising different number of input variables were evaluated using the MATLAB. The evolutionary algorithms were based on Pittsburgh approach with the real coded chromosomes of constant length comprising whole rule base or both the rule base and all parameters of all membership functions. The experiments were conducted using training and testing sets prepared on the basis of actual 150 sales transactions made in one of Polish cities and located in a residential section. The results obtained were not decisive and further research in this area is needed.
Abstract. Two fuzzy models for real estate appraisal, i.e. Mamdani-type and Takagi-Sugeno-Kang-type have been built with the aid of experts. Both models comprised 7 input variables referring to main attributes of a property being appraised. In order to determine the rule bases for both models an evolutionary algorithm has been applied. The experiments revealed that models assured acceptable estimations of property values.
