A Simulated IMO-DRSA Approach for Cognitive Reduction in Multiobjective Financial Portfolio Interactive Optimization

2021 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), 2021
Obtaining the optimal Pareto front in multiobjective portfolio problems can be impractical when considering real- world constraints, such as portfolio cardinality. Thus, it is interesting to consider multiobjective evolutionary algorithms to solve this type of problem in a reasonable time, but without quality guarantees.
