Evolutionary Biparty Multiobjective UAV Path Planning: Problems and Empirical Comparisons

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in urban missions, and proper planning of UAV paths can improve mission efficiency while reducing the risk of potential third-party impact. Existing work has considered all efficiency and safety objectives for a single decision-maker (DM) and regarded this as a multiobjective optimization problem (MOP). However, there is usually not a single DM but two DMs, i.e., an efficiency DM and a safety DM, and the DMs are only concerned with their respective objectives. The final decision is made based on the solutions of both DMs. In this paper, for the first time, biparty multiobjective UAV path planning (BPMO-UAVPP) problems involving both efficiency and safety departments are modeled. The existing multiobjective immune algorithm with nondominated neighbor-based selection (NNIA), the hybrid evolutionary framework for the multiobjective immune algorithm (HEIA), and the adaptive immune-inspired multiobjective algorithm (AIMA) are modified for solving the BPMO-UAVPP problem, and then biparty multiobjective optimization algorithms, including the BPNNIA, BPHEIA, and BPAIMA, are proposed and comprehensively compared with traditional multiobjective evolutionary algorithms and typical multiparty multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (i.e., OptMPNDS and OptMPNDS2). The experimental results show that BPAIMA performs better than ordinary multiobjective evolutionary algorithms such as NSGA-II and multiparty multiobjective evolutionary algorithms such as OptMPNDS, OptMPNDS2, BPNNIA and BPHEIA.

BAMBO: Construct Ability and Efficiency LLM Pareto Set via Bayesian Adaptive Multi-objective Block-wise Optimization

Constructing a Pareto set is pivotal for navigating the capability-efficiency trade-offs in Large Language Models (LLMs); however, existing merging techniques remain inadequate for this task. Coarse-grained, model-level methods yield only a sparse set of suboptimal solutions, while fine-grained, layer-wise approaches suffer from the "curse of dimensionality," rendering the search space computationally intractable. To resolve this dichotomy, we propose BAMBO (Bayesian Adaptive Multi-objective Block-wise Optimization), a novel framework that automatically constructs the LLM Pareto set. BAMBO renders the search tractable by introducing a Hybrid Optimal Block Partitioning strategy. Formulated as a 1D clustering problem, this strategy leverages a dynamic programming approach to optimally balance intra-block homogeneity and inter-block information distribution, thereby dramatically reducing dimensionality without sacrificing critical granularity. The entire process is automated within an evolutionary loop driven by the q-Expected Hypervolume Improvement (qEHVI) acquisition function. Experiments demonstrate that BAMBO discovers a superior and more comprehensive Pareto frontier than baselines, enabling agile model selection tailored to diverse operational constraints.
