In the era of e-commerce, accurately predicting user purchase intentions has become a crucial factor for enhancing sales efficiency and optimizing the customer experience. Addressing the limitations of traditional ensemble strategies, which often suffer from subjective biases during the model design phase, this paper introduced an adaptive evolutionary ensemble learning model to predict user purchase intentions. This model adaptively selected the optimal base learners and meta-learners, incorporating both the predictive information from the base learners and the differential information between features to expand the feature dimensions, enhancing prediction accuracy. Moreover, to further refine the predictive capabilities of the model, this paper designed a binary adaptive differential evolution algorithm for feature selection, aiming to identify features that significantly influence the prediction outcome. Research results show that the binary adaptive differential evolution algorithm outperforms traditional optimization algorithms in global searches and feature selection. Compared to six common ensemble models and the DeepForest model, the proposed evolutionary ensemble model achieves a 2.76% and 2.72% increase in AUC value, respectively, and effectively mitigates the impacts of data imbalance [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Traditional federated learning faces challenges such as high communication costs, structural heterogeneity,and insufficient privacy protection. To address these issues, this paper proposes a federated learning evolutionary algorithm that applies sparse evolutionary training algorithm to reduce communication costs and integrates local differential privacy protection for participants’ privacy. Additionally, it utilizes the NSGA-Ⅲ algorithm to optimize the network structure and sparsity of the global federated learning model, adjusting the relationship between data availability and privacy protection. This achieves a balance between the effectiveness, communication costs, and privacy of the global federated learning model. Experimental results under unstable communication environments demonstrate that, on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets, compared to the solution with the lowest error rate using the FNSGA-Ⅲ algorithm, the proposed algorithm improves communication efficiency by 57. 19% and 52. 17%, respectively. The participants also achieved（3. 46, 10-4） and（6. 52, 10-4）-local differential privacy. This algorithm can effectively reduce communication costs and protect participant privacy without significantly compromising the accuracy of the global model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
