Title: Hypervolume Approximation for Many-objective Optimization

===

Abstract:  Hypervolume is one of the most popular performance indicators
in evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO). It possesses rich
theoretical properties and has been extensively used for performance
evaluation and algorithm design. However, its main drawback is that it
becomes computationally intractable in high-dimensional spaces, which
limited its application in many-objective optimization. In order to overcome
this difficulty, approximation methods can be used instead of exact methods
for hypervolume calculation. In this talk, I will first review studies on
hypervolume approximation in the literature. Then I will present our recent
work on hypervolume approximation and its applications including EMO
algorithm design and subset selection. Lastly, I will give some directions for
future research.
