1 Learnable Evolution Model (LEM) is a form of non-Darwinian evolutionary computation that employs machine learning to guide evolutionary processes. Its main novelty are new type o...
In multimodal function optimization, niching techniques create diversification within the population, thus encouraging heterogeneous convergence. The key to the effective diversif...
It is not unusual that an approximate model is needed for fitness evaluation in evolutionary computation. In this case, the convergence properties of the evolutionary algorithm are...
Convexity is an important property in nonlinear optimization since it allows to apply efficient local methods for finding global solutions. We propose to apply symbolic methods t...
This paper introduces a new algorithm, Q2, foroptimizingthe expected output ofamultiinput noisy continuous function. Q2 is designed to need only a few experiments, it avoids stron...
