In this paper, gene sets, instead of individual genes, are used in the genetic process to speed up convergence. A gene-set mutation operator is proposed, which can make several nei...
Background: The search for enriched features has become widely used to characterize a set of genes or proteins. A key aspect of this technique is its ability to identify correlati...
Current Genetic Algorithms can efficiently address order-k separable problems, in which the order of the linkage is restricted to a low value k. Outside this class, there exist hie...

— In this paper, we present a novel approach to partitioning pattern spaces using a multiobjective genetic algorithm for identifying (near-)optimal subspaces for hierarchical lea...
This paper proposes a new niching method named hierarchical niching, which combines spatial niching in search space and a continuous temporal niching concept. The method is natural...
