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...
In this paper, we propose a new approach that consists of the extended compact genetic algorithm (ECGA) and split-ondemand (SoD), an adaptive discretization technique, to economic...
This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
This paper introduces a continuous model for Multi-cellular Developmental Design. The cells are fixed on a 2D grid and exchange ”chemicals” with their neighbors during the gr...
