— Efficient discovery of lowest level building blocks is a fundamental requirement for a successful genetic algorithm. Although considerable effort has been directed at techniqu...
: In a canonical genetic algorithm, the reproduction operators (crossover and mutation) are random in nature. The direction of the search carried out by the GA system is driven pur...
Background: Understanding how amino acid substitutions affect protein functions is critical for the study of proteins and their implications in diseases. Although methods have bee...
In this paper we describe a method for improving genetic-algorithm-based optimization using informed genetic operators. The idea is to make the genetic operators such as mutation ...
Kimura’s neutral theory of evolution has inspired researchers from the evolutionary computation community to incorporate neutrality into Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) in the hop...
