The XCS Learning Classifier System has traditionally used roulette wheel selection within its genetic algorithm component. Recently, tournament selection has been suggested as prov...
1 In evolutionary algorithms a critical parameter that must be tuned is that of selection pressure. If it is set too low then the rate of convergence towards the optimum is likely...
Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
Abstract. Although it is known from GA literature that proportionate selection is subject to many pitfalls, the LCS community somewhat adhered to proportionate selection. Also in t...
In genetic programming, the reproductive operators of crossover and mutation both require the selection of nodes from the reproducing individuals. Both unbiased random selection a...
