In robot building, attention tends to focus on internal signal processing and the way desired motor signals are generated. But equally important is the selection and configuration...
We describe a theory from Herbert Simon that links the structure of complex systems to increased speed of evolution, and argue the position that this theory can be beneficial to ev...

Constraint programming uses enumeration and search tree pruning to solve combinatorial optimization problems. In order to speed up this solution process, we investigate the use of...
Hereditary Repulsion (HR) is a selection method coupled with a fitness constraint that substantially improves the performance and consistency of evolutionary algorithms. This als...
Many structured information extraction tasks employ collective graphical models that capture interinstance associativity by coupling them with various clique potentials. We propos...
