Abstract:
This research explores the integration of transfer learning within optimization algorithms Genetic Algorithm (GA),
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) over Fuzzy Systems (FIS)
for enhancing energy efficiency in assisted living environments. We optimize FIS models by testing various transfer learning
combinations: GA to PSO, GA to NSGA-II, PSO to NSGA-II, and GA to NGSA-II. Results show that PSO to NSGA-II
delivers the best performance. GA to NSGA-II also showed notable improvement, benefiting from NSGA-II's efficient Pareto
front exploration following GA's broad search capabilities. GA to PSO demonstrated slight improvement over GA alone, but
PSO after GA performed worse due to premature convergence and reduced genetic diversity. In contrast, GA to NSGA-II
retained better solution diversity, improving multi-objective optimization outcomes. These findings highlight the potential of
transfer learning to enhance energy optimization in complex assisted living systems and provide deeper insights into its role
in improving energy efficiency through strategic algorithmic pairing.
