Reducing Fitness Evaluations Using Clustering Techniques and Neural Network Ensembles
Abstract. In many real-world applications of evolutionary computation, it is essential to reduce the number of fitness evaluations. To this end, computationally efficient models c...

Relative Building-Block Fitness and the Building Block Hypothesis
The building-block hypothesis states that the GA works well when short, low-order, highly-fit schemas recombine to form even more highly fit higher-order schemas. The ability to p...

The Effects of Constant and Bit-Wise Neutrality on Problem Hardness, Fitness Distance Correlation and Phenotypic Mutation Rates
Kimura’s neutral theory of evolution has inspired researchers from the evolutionary computation community to incorporate neutrality into Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) in the hop...
