Conquering the Needle-in-a-Haystack: How Correlated Input Variables Beneficially Alter the Fitness Landscape for Neural Networks
Abstract. Evolutionary algorithms such as genetic programming and grammatical evolution have been used for simultaneously optimizing network architecture, variable selection, and w...

Coevolutionary Dynamics of Interacting Species
One of the open questions in evolutionary computation is how an arms race may be initiated between coevolving entities such that the entities acquire new behaviors and increase in ...

Fitness Landscapes and Evolvability
In this paper, we develop techniques based on evolvability statistics of the fitness landscape surrounding sampled solutions. Averaging the measures over a sample of equal fitness...

Digital Evolution in Time-Dependent Fitness Landscapes
We study the response of populations of digital organisms that adapt to a time-varying (periodic) fitness landscape of two oscillating peaks. We corroborate in general predictions ...

Fitness landscape analysis for evolutionary non-photorealistic rendering
The best evolutionary approach can be a difficult problem. In this work we have investigated two evolutionary representations to evolve non-photorealistic renderings: a variable-le...

A mixed strategy for Evolutionary Programming based on local fitness landscape
The performance of Evolutionary Programming (EP) is affected by many factors (e.g. mutation operators and selection strategies). Although the conventional approach with Gaussian mu...

Multimodal Function Optimization Using Local Ruggedness Information
In multimodal function optimization, niching techniques create diversification within the population, thus encouraging heterogeneous convergence. The key to the effective diversif...

Crossover: the divine afflatus in search
The traditional GA theory is pillared on the Building Block Hypothesis (BBH) which states that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) work by discovering, emphasizing and recombining low order ...
