In this study, a new mechanism that adapts the mutation rate for each locus on the chromosomes, based on feedback obtained from the current population is proposed. Through tests us...
The Shifting Balance Genetic Algorithm (SBGA) is an extension of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) that was created to promote guided diversity to improve performance in highly multimodal...
In this paper, a new model of Probabilistic Model-Building Genetic Algorithms (PMBGAs), Distributed PMBGA (DPMBGA), is proposed. In the DPMBGA, the correlation among the design var...
Optimization problems are more and more complex and their resource requirements are ever increasing. Although metaheuristics allow to significantly reduce the computational complex...
Abstract. A major problem encountered by text clustering practitioners is the difficulty of determining a priori which is the optimal text representation and clustering technique f...
