The importance of mutation varies across evolutionary computation domains including: genetic programming, evolution strategies, and genetic algorithms. In the genetic programming ...
The population size in evolutionary computation is a significant parameter affecting computational effort and the ability to successfully evolve solutions. We find that population...
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a population-based optimization method in which search points employ a cooperative strategy to move toward one another. In this paper we show ...

In this paper, we propose the island model parallel memetic algorithm with diversity-based dynamic adaptive strategy (PMADLS) for controlling the local search frequency and demons...
Both genetic algorithms (GAs) and temporal difference (TD) methods have proven effective at solving reinforcement learning (RL) problems. However, since few rigorous empirical com...
