本文提出多群体集成遗传编程(MEGP),融合协同进化与多视图学习,应对高维异构特征空间中的分类挑战。MEGP将输入空间分解为条件独立的特征子集,使多个子种群并行演化,通过基于集成的动态适应度机制交互。每个个体编码多个基因,其输出通过可微的softmax加权层聚合,增强模型可解释性与自适应决策融合。结合孤立与整体适应度的混合选择机制,促进种群间协作并保持种群内多样性。双层级演化动态实现结构化搜索,减少早熟收敛。在8个基准数据集上的实验表明,MEGP在收敛性与泛化性能上持续优于基线遗传编程模型。统计分析验证了对对数损失、精确率、召回率、F1分数和AUC的显著改进。同时表现出强多样性保持与加速的适应度提升,凸显其在可扩展、集成驱动的进化学习中的有效性。通过统一基于种群优化、多视图表示学习与协同进化,MEGP构建了一个结构自适应且可解释的框架,推动进化机器学习新方向。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper introduces Multi-population Ensemble Genetic Programming (MEGP), a computational intelligence framework that integrates cooperative coevolution and the multiview learning paradigm to address classification challenges in high-dimensional and heterogeneous feature spaces. MEGP decomposes the input space into conditionally independent feature subsets, enabling multiple subpopulations to evolve in parallel while interacting through a dynamic ensemble-based fitness mechanism. Each individual encodes multiple genes whose outputs are aggregated via a differentiable softmax-based weighting layer, enhancing both model interpretability and adaptive decision fusion. A hybrid selection mechanism incorporating both isolated and ensemble-level fitness promotes inter-population cooperation while preserving intra-population diversity. This dual-level evolutionary dynamic facilitates structured search exploration and reduces premature convergence. Experimental evaluations across eight benchmark datasets demonstrate that MEGP consistently outperforms a baseline GP model in terms of convergence behavior and generalization performance. Comprehensive statistical analyses validate significant improvements in Log-Loss, Precision, Recall, F1 score, and AUC. MEGP also exhibits robust diversity retention and accelerated fitness gains throughout evolution, highlighting its effectiveness for scalable, ensemble-driven evolutionary learning. By unifying population-based optimization, multi-view representation learning, and cooperative coevolution, MEGP contributes a structurally adaptive and interpretable framework that advances emerging directions in evolutionary machine learning.
