A new mutation concept is proposed to generalize local selection based Differential Evolution algorithm to work in general multimodal problems. Three variations of the proposed me...
There has recently been a great deal of interest in search? based test data generation, with many local and global search algorithms being proposed. However, to date, there has be...

Abstract. The EENCL algorithm [1] automatically designs neural network ensembles for classification, combining global evolution with local search based on gradient descent. Two mec...
Abstract. We propose a new niching method for Evolutionary Algorithms which is able to identify and track global and local optima in a multimodal search space. To prevent the loss ...
