Query: Meme as Building Block for Evolutionary Optimization of Problem
  Instances   A significantly under-explored area of evolutionary optimization in the
literature is the study of optimization methodologies that can evolve along
with the problems solved. Particularly, present evolutionary optimization
approaches generally start their search from scratch or the ground-zero state
of knowledge, independent of how similar the given new problem of interest is
to those optimized previously. There has thus been the apparent lack of
automated knowledge transfers and reuse across problems. Taking the cue, this
paper introduces a novel Memetic Computational Paradigm for search, one that
models after how human solves problems, and embarks on a study towards
intelligent evolutionary optimization of problems through the transfers of
structured knowledge in the form of memes learned from previous problem-solving
experiences, to enhance future evolutionary searches. In particular, the
proposed memetic search paradigm is composed of four culture-inspired
operators, namely, Meme Learning, Meme Selection, Meme Variation and Meme
Imitation. The learning operator mines for memes in the form of latent
structures derived from past experiences of problem-solving. The selection
operator identifies the fit memes that replicate and transmit across problems,
while the variation operator introduces innovations into the memes. The
imitation operator, on the other hand, defines how fit memes assimilate into
the search process of newly encountered problems, thus gearing towards
efficient and effective evolutionary optimization. Finally, comprehensive
studies on two widely studied challenging well established NP-hard routing
problem domains, particularly, the capacitated vehicle routing (CVR) and
capacitated arc routing (CAR), confirm the high efficacy of the proposed
memetic computational search paradigm for intelligent evolutionary optimization
of problems.
