In this paper we compare four selection strategies in evolutionary optimization of information retrieval (IR) in a question answering setting. The IR index has been augmented by li...
— Addressing dynamic optimization problems has attracted a growing interest from the evolutionary algorithm community in recent years due to its importance in the applications of...
In this paper, we highlight the use of synthetic data sets to analyze learners behavior under bounded complexity. We propose a method to generate synthetic data sets with a specif...
This paper proposes a new evolutionary method for generating ANNs. In this method, a simple real-number string is used to codify both architecture and weights of the networks. Ther...
This paper examines a real-world application of genetic algorithms – solving the United States Navy’s Sailor Assignment Problem (SAP). The SAP is a complex assignment problem ...
