Resources like PlatEMO, MOEA Framework, ParadisEO, pymoo, and other multi-objective optimization libraries are helpful in solving complex optimization problems but with following limitations:
1. Performance: The performance of these libraries can be limited, especially when dealing with large-scale optimization problems. The algorithms implemented in these libraries may not be efficient enough to handle the problem at hand, or they may take a long time to converge to a solution.
2. Algorithms: Different algorithms may perform better or worse depending on the problem at hand. These libraries may not have all the algorithms needed to solve a specific problem, or the user may need to manually select the algorithm to use. This requires some expertise in optimization and the different algorithms available.
3. Flexibility: The optimization problems that these libraries can solve may be limited by the specific algorithms and functionalities they offer. Users may need to customize and modify the algorithms to better fit their specific problem.
4. User-friendliness: Some libraries may require more programming knowledge than others, which can be a barrier for some users. Additionally, the libraries may have a steep learning curve, making it difficult for novice users to use them effectively.
5. Compatibility: These libraries may be limited by the programming languages and platforms they support. For example, some libraries may only work with Python, while others may only work with Java or C++. This can limit their use in certain environments or with certain applications.
6. Interpretability: Finally, it's important to keep in mind that the solutions generated by these libraries may not always be easy to interpret or understand. In multi-objective optimization problems, there may be many solutions that are considered "optimal" or "non-dominated", which can make it difficult to select the best solution for a specific problem. Users may need to analyze the solutions generated by the library to determine the best course of action.
