Abstract--Change detection enables an evolutionary algorithm operating in a dynamic environment to respond with undertaking necessary steps for maintaining its performance. We cons...
This work is a study of neutrality in the context of Evolutionary Computation systems. In particular, we introduce the use of explicit neutrality with an integer string coding sche...
The building-block hypothesis states that the GA works well when short, low-order, highly-fit schemas recombine to form even more highly fit higher-order schemas. The ability to p...
—Target shape matching can be used as a quick and easy surrogate task when evaluating optimization algorithms intended for computationally expensive tasks, such as turbine blade ...
Abstract. In this paper we give a representation-independent topological definition of crossover that links it tightly to the notion of fitness landscape. Building around this defi...
