We describe an approach to understanding evolved programs for a real world object detection problem, that of finding orthodontic landmarks in cranio-facial X-Rays. The approach in...

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...

This paper presents a new heuristic algorithm for the graph coloring problem based on a combination of genetic algorithms and simulated annealing. Our algorithm exploits a novel cr...

We show that the natural evolutionary algorithm for the all-pairs shortest path problem is significantly faster with a crossover operator than without. This is the first theoret...
—Despite the wide-spread popularity of estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs), there has been no theoretical proof that there exist optimisation problems where EDAs perform...
