Credit assignment is a fundamental issue for the Learning Classifier Systems literature. We engage in a detailed investigation of credit assignment in one recent system called UC...
The Second Harmonic Generation (SHG), a process that turns out to be a good test case in the physics lab, can also be considered as a fairly simple theoretical test function for g...
We show how a random mutation hill climber that does multilevel selection utilizes transposition to escape local optima on the discrete Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If (HIFF) problem....
Classical Evolutionary Programming (CEP) and Fast Evolutionary Programming (FEP) have been applied to realvalued function optimisation. Both of these techniques directly evolve th...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has been successfully applied to those combinatorial optimization problems which can be translated into a graph exploration. Artificial ants build s...
