智能優化算法是模擬生物的自然選擇與進化的隨機搜索算法，常用于解決科學與工程中的多目標優化問題。湘潭大學“智能優化與信息處理”研究團隊由鄭金華教授牽頭組建，成員包括楊圣祥教授、姜新文教授、鄒娟副教授、周維副教授、唐歡容副教授、何春梅副教授、葉松濤博士、匡林愛博士、范朝冬博士、王求真等老師，以及50余名在讀博士/碩士研究生、本科生等。
團隊以智能優化方法的研究為基礎，進而開展智能優化方法應用研究，主要包括多目標進化優化方法、計算智能與圖像處理、生物信息處理、人體動作識別與數據挖掘、協作及多機器人等。團隊目前在研課題包括國家自然科學基金項目6項、省部級項目18項，以及與國家氣象局、Keep、企業深度合作的橫向項目20余項。近幾年，團隊出版《多目標進化算法及其應用》《多目標進化優化》等專著，在IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation、Evolutionary Computation以及《計算機學報》等發表學術論文300余篇，其中SCI、EI論文100余篇，申請發明專利20余項、授權8項，獲湖南省自然科學二等獎1項、科技進步三等獎1項。團隊非常注重學生的國際化培養，近五年推薦了10余名畢業研究生前往美國、加拿大、英國、澳大利亞、香港的知名高校繼續攻讀全額獎學金博士研究生，團隊每年都資助多名學生赴國外參加國際學術會議。
團隊負責人鄭金華教授是湘潭大學信息工程學院博士生導師，湘潭大學“進化計算研究中心”負責人，享受國務院特殊津貼專家。主要從事進化優化方法和技術的研究，以第一完成人獲得湖南省自然科學二等獎1項，先后主持完成各級各類科研項目共15項（其中包括國家自然科學基金項目4項）。在國內外計算機學科權威刊物和進化計算領域頂級國際會議上發表高質量論文170余篇；在科學出版社出版學術專著2部；獲國家版權局計算機軟件著作權登記證書4個。
Research Team for “Intelligent Optimization and Information Processing” of Xiangtan University
Intelligent optimization algorithm is a stochastic search algorithm that simulates the natural selection and evolution of organisms and often used to solve multi-objective optimization problems in science and engineering. The members of Intelligent Optimization and Information Processing research laboratory is led by Professor JinhuaZheng and Professor Shengxiang Yang (Furong Scholar), Professor Xinwen Jiang, Associate Professor Juan Zou, Associate Professor Wei Zhou, Associate Professor Huanrong Tang, Associate Professor Chunmei He, Dr. Songtao Ye, Dr. LinaiKuang, Dr. Chaodong Fan，Teacher Qiuzhen Wang and other teachers, as well as more than 50 doctoral students, postgraduate students and undergraduates are included.
Based on the research of intelligent optimization method, the team further carried out the application research about it, including multi-objective evolutionary optimization method, computational intelligence and image processing, biological information processing, human motion recognition and data mining, collaboration and multi-robot, etc. At present, the team is currently hosting 6 projects funded by the national natural science foundation of China, 18 projects funded by the provincial and ministerial level, and more than 20 horizontal projects in deep cooperation with the national meteorological administration or enterprises, like Keep and so on. In recent years, the team has 2 published books, named “Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm and Application” and “Multiobjective Evolutionary Optimization”, more than 300 academic papers, including more than 100 SCI and EI papers published on IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation、Evolutionary Computation and computer journal, applied for more than 20 invention patents and 8 authorization, won one second prize in natural science of Hunan province and one third prize in scientific and technological progress. The team attaches great importance to the international cultivation of students. In the past five years, it has recommended more than 10 graduates to continue to study for full scholarship PhDs in famous universities in the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia and Hong Kong. Every year, the team supports many students to attend international academic conferences abroad.
Professor JinhuaZheng was born in December 1963 and received the Ph.D. degree in control theory and control engineering from Central South University in 2000. He is a doctoral supervisor and a member of the academic committee of "Intelligent Optimization and Information Processing" key laboratory of the ministry of education of Xiangtan University and the head of its evolutionary computing research center. As a result of his outstanding contributions in scientific research, discipline construction, talent training and grass-roots service, he was selected as the candidate to enjoy the special allowance of the state council in 2016. Professor Zheng is mainly engaged in the research of evolutionary optimization methods and techniques, and has obtained fruitful research results. He won the second prize of natural science of Hunan province as the first accomplice, and presided over and completed 15 scientific research projects of all levels and types successively (including 4 projects of national natural science foundation of China). Professor Zheng has published more than 170 high-quality papers in authoritative journals of computer science and top international conferences in the field of evolutionary computing at home and abroad. He published two academic monographs in science press, which the earliest monograph "multi-objective evolutionary algorithm and its application" has been cited more than 200 times by Tsinghua university in China, and four application software developed by the national copyright administration have obtained the computer software copyright registration certificate.
