Learning goal-scoring behaviour from scratch for simulated robot soccer is considered to be a very difficult problem, and is often achieved by endowing players with an innate set ...
Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
The AI optimization algorithm called "Squeaky-Wheel Optimization" (SWO) has proven very effective in a variety of real-world applications. Although the ideas behind SWO ...
This paper extends previous work showing how fluctuating crosstalk in a deterministic fitness function introduces noise into genetic algorithms. In that work, we modeled fluctuati...
We show that there are unimodal fitness functions and genetic algorithm (GA) parameter settings where the GA, when initialized with a random population, will not move close to the...
