We present a new framework for artificial life involving physically simulated, three-dimensional blocks called Division Blocks. Division Blocks can grow and shrink, divide and fo...
A survey of niching algorithms, based on 5 variants of derandomized Evolution Strategies (ES), is introduced. This set of niching algorithms, ranging from the very first derandom...
The process of development creates a phenotype from one or more genotypes of an individual through interaction with an environment. The opportunity for development to choose a phe...
This paper deals with the adaptive variance scaling issue in continuous Estimation of Distribution Algorithms. A phenomenon is discovered that current adaptive variance scaling me...
Standard detection algorithms for nonlinearity linkage fail when applied to typical problems in the analysis of financial time-series data. We explain how this failure arises whe...
