    Hyper-Heuristics: a Survey and Taxonomy
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Kucukyilmaz, Tayfun; Talbi, El-Ghazali; Dokeroglu, Tansel
    Hyper-heuristics are search techniques for selecting, generating, and sequencing (meta)-heuristics to solve challenging optimization problems. They differ from traditional (meta)-heuristics methods, which primarily employ search space-based optimization strategies. Due to the remarkable performance of hyper-heuristics in multi-objective and machine learning-based optimization, there has been an increasing interest in this field. With a fresh perspective, our work extends the current taxonomy and presents an overview of the most significant hyper-heuristic studies of the last two decades. Four categories under which we analyze hyperheuristics are selection hyper-heuristics (including machine learning techniques), low-level heuristics, target optimization problems, and parallel hyper-heuristics. Future research prospects, trends, and prospective fields of study are also explored.

    Predicting the Severity of Covid-19 Patients Using a Multi-Threaded Evolutionary Feature Selection Algorithm
    (Wiley, 2022) Kiziloz, Hakan Ezgi; Sevinc, Ender; Dokeroglu, Tansel; Deniz, Ayca
    The COVID-19 pandemic has huge effects on the global community and an extreme burden on health systems. There are more than 185 million confirmed cases and 4 million deaths as of July 2021. Besides, the exponential rise in COVID-19 cases requires a quick prediction of the patients' severity for better treatment. In this study, we propose a Multi-threaded Genetic feature selection algorithm combined with Extreme Learning Machines (MG-ELM) to predict the severity level of the COVID-19 patients. We conduct a set of experiments on a recently published real-world dataset. We reprocess the dataset via feature construction to improve the learning performance of the algorithm. Upon comprehensive experiments, we report the most impactful features and symptoms for predicting the patients' severity level. Moreover, we investigate the effects of multi-threaded implementation with statistical analysis. In order to verify the efficiency of MG-ELM, we compare our results with traditional and state-of-the-art techniques. The proposed algorithm outperforms other algorithms in terms of prediction accuracy.

    A Comprehensive Survey on Recent Metaheuristics for Feature Selection
    (Elsevier, 2022) Dokeroglu, Tansel; Deniz, Ayca; Kiziloz, Hakan Ezgi
    Feature selection has become an indispensable machine learning process for data preprocessing due to the ever-increasing sizes in actual data. There have been many solution methods proposed for feature selection since the 1970s. For the last two decades, we have witnessed the superiority of metaheuristic feature selection algorithms, and tens of new ones are being proposed every year. This survey focuses on the most outstanding recent metaheuristic feature selection algorithms of the last two decades in terms of their performance in exploration/exploitation operators, selection methods, transfer functions, fitness value evaluations, and parameter setting techniques. Current challenges of the metaheuristic feature selection algorithms and possible future research topics are examined and brought to the attention of the researchers as well.

    Müfredat Tabanlı Ders Çizelgeleme Problemi için Yeni Bir Açgözlü Algoritma
    (2023) Batuhan,; Say, Bilge; Dokeroglu, Tansel
    Bu çalışma, iyi bilinen Müfredat Tabanlı Ders Çizelgeleme Problemini optimize etmek için yeni bir açgözlü algoritmayı açıklamaktadır. Açgözlü algoritmalar, en iyi çözümü bulmak için yürütülmesi uzun zaman alan kaba kuvvet ve evrimsel algoritmalara iyi bir alternatiftir. Birçok açgözlü algoritmanın yaptığı gibi tek bir buluşsal yöntem kullanmak yerine, aynı problem örneğine 120 yeni buluşsal yöntem tanımlıyor ve uyguluyoruz. Dersleri müsait odalara atamak için, önerilen açgözlü algoritmamız En Büyük-İlk, En Küçük-İlk, En Uygun, Önce Ortalama Ağırlık ve En Yüksek Kullanılamaz ders-ilk buluşsal yöntemlerini kullanır. İkinci Uluslararası Zaman Çizelgesi Yarışması'nın (ITC-2007) kıyaslama setinden 21 problem örneği üzerinde kapsamlı deneyler gerçekleştirilir. Önemli ölçüde azaltılmış yumuşak kısıtlama değerlerine sahip 18 problem için, önerilen açgözlü algoritma sıfır sabit kısıtlama ihlali (uygulanabilir çözümler) rapor edebilir. Önerilen algoritma, performans açısından son teknoloji ürünü açgözlü buluşsal yöntemleri geride bırakıyor.
