One of the earliest evolutionary computation algorithms, the genetic algorithm, is applied to the noise-free BBOB 2009 testbed. It is adapted to the continuous domain by increasin...
In this paper we discuss the evolution of several components of a traditional Evolutionary Algorithm, such as genotype to phenotype mappings and genetic operators, presenting a for...
We propose a protocol for a local search and a genetic algorithm for the distributed traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the distributed TSP, information regarding the cost funct...
Rule extraction is a technique aimed at transforming highly accurate opaque models like neural networks into comprehensible models without losing accuracy. G-REX is a rule extract...
We propose a new methodology to look at the fitness contributions (semantics) of different schemata in Genetic Programming (GP). We hypothesize that the significance of a schem...
