This paper analyzes the behavior of the XCS classifier system on imbalanced datasets. We show that XCS with standard parameter settings is quite robust to considerable class imbal...
The importance of mutation varies across evolutionary computation domains including: genetic programming, evolution strategies, and genetic algorithms. In the genetic programming ...
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...
Memetic algorithms are evolutionary algorithms incorporating local search to increase exploitation. This hybridization has been fruitful in countless applications. However, theory...
The Baldwin Effect is a very plausible, but unproven, biological theory concerning the power of learning to accelerate evolution. Simple computational models in the 1980’s gave...
