Maternal influence on offspring goes beyond strict nuclear (DNA) inheritance: inherited maternal mRNA, mitochondria, caring and nurturing are all additional sources that affect...
We hypothesize that the relationship between parameter settings, specically parameters controlling mutation, and performance is non-linear in genetic programs. Genetic programmin...
Loop pipelining is a critical transformation in behavioral synthesis. It is crucial to producing hardware designs with acceptable latency and throughput. However, it is a complex ...
Recent work has provided functions that can be used to prove a principled distinction between the capabilities of mutation-based and crossover-based algorithms. However, prior fun...
A survey of niching algorithms, based on 5 variants of derandomized Evolution Strategies (ES), is introduced. This set of niching algorithms, ranging from the very first derandom...
