Abstract:Constrained multiobjective optimisation requires fast feasibility attainment together with stable convergence and diversity preservation under strict evaluation budgets. This report documents RDEx-CMOP, the differential evolution variant used in the IEEE CEC 2025 numerical optimisation competition (C06 special session) constrained multiobjective track. RDEx-CMOP integrates an ε-level feasibility schedule, a SPEA2-style indicator-driven fitness assignment, and a fitness-oriented current-to-pbest/1 mutation operator. We evaluate RDEx-CMOP on the official CEC 2025 CMOP benchmark using the median-target U-score framework and the released trace data. Experimental results show that RDEx-CMOP achieves the highest total score and the best overall average rank among all released comparison algorithms, with strong target-attainment behaviour and near-zero final violation on most problems.
Abstract:Bound-constrained single-objective numerical optimisation remains a key benchmark for assessing the robustness and efficiency of evolutionary algorithms. This report documents RDEx-SOP, an exploitation-biased success-history differential evolution variant used in the IEEE CEC 2025 numerical optimisation competition (C06 special session). RDEx-SOP combines success-history parameter adaptation, an exploitation-biased hybrid branch, and lightweight local perturbations to balance fast convergence and final solution quality under a strict evaluation budget. We evaluate RDEx-SOP on the official CEC 2025 SOP benchmark with the U-score framework (Speed and Accuracy categories). Experimental results show that RDEx-SOP achieves strong overall performance and statistically competitive final outcomes across the 29 benchmark functions.
Abstract:Constrained single-objective numerical optimisation requires both feasibility maintenance and strong objective-value convergence under limited evaluation budgets. This report documents RDEx-CSOP, a constrained differential evolution variant used in the IEEE CEC 2025 numerical optimisation competition (C06 special session). RDEx-CSOP combines success-history parameter adaptation with an exploitation-biased hybrid search and an ε-constraint handling mechanism with a time-varying threshold. We evaluate RDEx-CSOP on the official CEC 2025 CSOP benchmark using the U-score framework (Speed, Accuracy, and Constraint categories). The results show that RDEx-CSOP achieves the highest total score and the best average rank among all released comparison algorithms, mainly through strong speed and competitive constraint-handling performance across the 28 benchmark functions.
Abstract:Multiobjective optimisation in the CEC 2025 MOP track is evaluated not only by final IGD values but also by how quickly an algorithm reaches the target region under a fixed evaluation budget. This report documents RDEx-MOP, the reconstructed differential evolution variant used in the IEEE CEC 2025 numerical optimisation competition (C06 special session) bound-constrained multiobjective track. RDEx-MOP integrates indicator-based environmental selection, a niche-maintained Pareto-candidate set, and complementary differential evolution operators for exploration and exploitation. We evaluate RDEx-MOP on the official CEC 2025 MOP benchmark using the released checkpoint traces and the median-target U-score framework. Experimental results show that RDEx-MOP achieves the highest total score and the best average rank among all released comparison algorithms, including the earlier RDEx baseline.
Abstract:Quality Assurance (QA) for radiology reports refers to judging whether the junior reports (written by junior doctors) are qualified. The QA scores of one junior report are given by the senior doctor(s) after reviewing the image and junior report. This process requires intensive labor costs for senior doctors. Additionally, the QA scores may be inaccurate for reasons like diagnosis bias, the ability of senior doctors, and so on. To address this issue, we propose a Span-level Quality Assurance EvaluaTOR (Sqator) to mark QA scores automatically. Unlike the common document-level semantic comparison method, we try to analyze the semantic difference by exploring more fine-grained text spans. Unlike the common document-level semantic comparison method, we try to analyze the semantic difference by exploring more fine-grained text spans. Specifically, Sqator measures QA scores by measuring the importance of revised spans between junior and senior reports, and outputs the final QA scores by merging all revised span scores. We evaluate Sqator using a collection of 12,013 radiology reports. Experimental results show that Sqator can achieve competitive QA scores. Moreover, the importance scores of revised spans can be also consistent with the judgments of senior doctors.
Abstract:The rapid advancement in artificial intelligence and natural language processing has led to the development of large-scale datasets aimed at benchmarking the performance of machine learning models. Herein, we introduce 'RetChemQA,' a comprehensive benchmark dataset designed to evaluate the capabilities of such models in the domain of reticular chemistry. This dataset includes both single-hop and multi-hop question-answer pairs, encompassing approximately 45,000 Q&As for each type. The questions have been extracted from an extensive corpus of literature containing about 2,530 research papers from publishers including NAS, ACS, RSC, Elsevier, and Nature Publishing Group, among others. The dataset has been generated using OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo, a cutting-edge model known for its exceptional language understanding and generation capabilities. In addition to the Q&A dataset, we also release a dataset of synthesis conditions extracted from the corpus of literature used in this study. The aim of RetChemQA is to provide a robust platform for the development and evaluation of advanced machine learning algorithms, particularly for the reticular chemistry community. The dataset is structured to reflect the complexities and nuances of real-world scientific discourse, thereby enabling nuanced performance assessments across a variety of tasks. The dataset is available at the following link: https://github.com/nakulrampal/RetChemQA
Abstract:Complex single-objective bounded problems are often difficult to solve. In evolutionary computation methods, since the proposal of differential evolution algorithm in 1997, it has been widely studied and developed due to its simplicity and efficiency. These developments include various adaptive strategies, operator improvements, and the introduction of other search methods. After 2014, research based on LSHADE has also been widely studied by researchers. However, although recently proposed improvement strategies have shown superiority over their previous generation's first performance, adding all new strategies may not necessarily bring the strongest performance. Therefore, we recombine some effective advances based on advanced differential evolution variants in recent years and finally determine an effective combination scheme to further promote the performance of differential evolution. In this paper, we propose a strategy recombination and reconstruction differential evolution algorithm called reconstructed differential evolution (RDE) to solve single-objective bounded optimization problems. Based on the benchmark suite of the 2024 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC2024), we tested RDE and several other advanced differential evolution variants. The experimental results show that RDE has superior performance in solving complex optimization problems.
