The task of finding minimal elements of a partially ordered set is a generalization of the task of finding the global minimum of a real-valued function or of finding Pareto-optimal...
I present MOSES (meta-optimizing semantic evolutionary search), a new probabilistic modeling (estimation of distribution) approach to program evolution. Distributions are not esti...
Credit analysts generally assess the risk of credit applications based on their previous experience. They frequently employ quantitative methods to this end. Among the methods used...
ICSPEA is a novel multi-objective evolutionary algorithm which integrates aspects from the powerful variation operators of the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA...
Recently, evolutionary computation has been successfully integrated into statistical learning methods. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) using evolution strategies for its optimizati...
