Quantum-Inspired Multi-Objective Seahorse Optimizer for Predictive Maintenance Analysis Using Numerical Association Rule Mining
摘要
In this study, we developed a revolutionary algorithm called Quantum-inspired Multi-Objective Seahorse Optimizer (MOQSHO) for tackling Numerical Association Rule Mining (NARM) problem, which is a particular case of Association Rule Mining (ARM). The challenge inherent in NARM can be approached along three distinct axes: distribution, discretization, and optimization. Traditional single-objective SHO, a bio-inspired metaheuristic optimization method, has shown competitive performance in many complex problems. Still, it needs to tackle multiple objectives of the NARM problem and tends to be stuck in local optima. We propose an optimization-based MOQSHO algorithm to overcome SHO deficiencies by integrating the quantum mechanics in traditional SHO and enhancing its ability to simultaneously handle multiple objectives of the NARM problem. Quantum mechanics helps to improve traditional SHO algorithms’ exploitation and exploration abilities. To evaluate the performance of the MOQSHO algorithm, we undertook a series of tests, using measures such as generational distance (GD), inverse generational distance (IGD), hypervolume (HV), spacing, spread, and
