Population Sizing Based on Landscape Feature
Abstract. Population size for EvolutionaryAlgorithms is usually an empirical parameter. We study the population size from aspects of fitness landscapes’ ruggedness and Probably ...

Varying the Population Size of Artificial Foraging Swarms on Time Varying Landscapes
Abstract. Swarm Intelligence (SI) is the property of a system whereby the collective behaviors of (unsophisticated) entities interacting locally with their environment cause cohere...

The impact of population size on code growth in GP: analysis and empirical validation
The crossover bias theory for bloat [18] is a recent result which predicts that bloat is caused by the sampling of short, unfit programs. This theory is clear and simple, but it ...

Using motion planning to study RNA folding kinetics
We propose a novel, motion planning based approach to approximately map the energy landscape of an RNA molecule. Our method is based on the successful probabilistic roadmap motion...
