Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
Tiling is a widely used loop transformation for exposing/exploiting parallelism and data locality. Effective use of tiling requires selection and tuning of the tile sizes. This is...
In the paper we present a new evolutionary algorithm for induction of regression trees. In contrast to the typical top-down approaches it globally searches for the best tree struct...
This paper introduces a procedure for using genetic multiobjective optimization in yacht design. The problem described consists on the optimization of a bulb shape to improve the ...
The automatic tuning of the parameters of algorithms and automatic selection of algorithms has received a lot of attention recently. One possible approach is the use of machine lea...
