Building Blocks for Variational Bayesian Learning of Latent Variable Models
We introduce standardised building blocks designed to be used with variational Bayesian learning. The blocks include Gaussian variables, summation, multiplication, nonlinearity, a...

Overcoming hierarchical difficulty by hill-climbing the building block structure
The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and a...

Evolving Sinusoidal Oscillators Using Genetic Algorithms
In the present paper, single-opamp sinusoidal oscillators are synthesized using genetic algorithms. The motivation is to evolve new topologies of oscillators using different activ...

Estimating the destructiveness of crossover on binary tree representations
In some cases, evolutionary algorithms represent individuals as typical binary trees with n leaves and n-1 internal nodes. When designing a crossover operator for a particular rep...

Introducing Local Optimization for Effective Initialization and Crossover of Genetic Decision Trees
We introduce a new genetic operator, Reduction, that rectifies decision trees not correct syntactically and at the same time removes the redundant sections within, while preservin...
