Recent work has provided functions that can be used to prove a principled distinction between the capabilities of mutation-based and crossover-based algorithms. However, prior fun...
Wilson introduced XCSF as a successor to XCS. The major development of XCSF is the concept of a computed prediction. The efficiency of XCSF in dealing with numerical input and con...
The success of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) depends crucially on finding suitable parameter settings. Doing this by hand is a very time consuming job without the guarantee to ...
Estimation of distribution algorithms replace the typical crossover and mutation operators by constructing a probabilistic model and generating offspring according to this model....
The work addresses the problem of identifying the epistatic linkage of a function from high cardinality alphabets to the real numbers. It is a generalization of Heckendorn and Wri...
