— This paper presents Natural Evolution Strategies (NES), a novel algorithm for performing real-valued ‘black box’ function optimization: optimizing an unknown objective func...
Interface exceptions (explicitly declared exceptions that a method can propagate outside) are an inherent part of the interface describing the behaviour of a particular class of ob...
In this paper we propose the use of an interactive multi-agent system for the study of rhythm evolution. The aim of the model proposed here is to show to what extent new rhythms em...
A novel method for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, based on grammatical evolution is presented. The method forms generations of trial solutions expressed in an...
As an object-oriented system evolves, its architecture tends to drift away from the original design. Knowledge of how the system has changed at coarse-grained levels is key to und...
