A new mutation concept is proposed to generalize local selection based Differential Evolution algorithm to work in general multimodal problems. Three variations of the proposed me...
One of the most controversial yet enduring hypotheses about what genetic algorithms (GAs) are good for concerns the idea that GAs process building-blocks. More specifically, it ha...
In this paper, we present a study on the fault tolerance nature of the island model when applied to Genetic Algorithms. Parallel and distributed models have been extensively appli...
The so-called noise-component has been introduced by Banfield and Raftery (1993) to improve the robustness of cluster analysis based on the normal mixture model. The idea is to ad...
Radial basis function networks (RBF) are efficient general function approximators. They show good generalization performance and they are easy to train. Due to theoretical consider...
