Voronoi-initializated island models for solving real-coded deceptive problems
Deceptive problems have always been considered difficult for Genetic Algorithms. To cope with this characteristic, the literature has proposed the use of Parallel Genetic Algorith...

Genetic algorithms for mentor-assisted evaluation function optimization
In this paper we demonstrate how genetic algorithms can be used to reverse engineer an evaluation function’s parameters for computer chess. Our results show that using an approp...

Self-adaptive mutation rates in genetic algorithm for inverse design of cellular automata
Self-adaptation is used a lot in Evolutionary Strategies and with great success, yet for some reason it is not the mutation adaptation of choice for Genetic Algorithms. This poste...

Evolutionary Learning Strategy using Bug-Based Search
We introduce a new approach to GA (Genetic Algorithms) based problem solving. Earlier GAs did not contain local search (i.e. hill climbing) mechanisms, which led to optimization d...
