讲座内容：

Nature-inspired computation and machine learning are two research areas (in Artificial Intelligence) with rising popularity in the past two decades. In this presentation, I will talk about my research experience revolving around these two themes since my time doing PhD until more recently, spanning almost three decades. What started as curiosities and fascination of how nature does computation have gradually evolved into research ideas for designing algorithms in tackling challenging optimization problems. I will touch on the following topics: particle swarm optimization, niching methods, large-scale optimization, preference modelling for multi-criteria decision making, hybridized methods such as meta-heuristics with mathematical programming, and machine learning for handling large-scale combinatorial optimization problems.
