Evolutionary MCMC Sampling and Optimization in Discrete Spaces
The links between genetic algorithms and population-based Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are explored. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are well-known for their capability to opt...

Comparison of tree and graph encodings as function of problem complexity
In this paper, we analyze two general-purpose encoding types, trees and graphs systematically, focusing on trends over increasingly complex problems. Tree and graph encodings are ...

Breeding swarms: a GA/PSO hybrid
Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel hybrid (GA/PSO) algorithm, Breeding Swarm, combining the strengths of particle swarm optimization with genetic algorithms. The hybrid alg...
