This paper proposes a new niching method named hierarchical niching, which combines spatial niching in search space and a continuous temporal niching concept. The method is natural...
Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
A plethora of enhancements are available to be used together with the αβ search algorithm. There are so many, that their selection and implementation is a non-trivial task, even ...
The problem of detecting "atypical objects" or "outliers" is one of the classical topics in (robust) statistics. Recently, it has been proposed to address this...
Abstract. The parameter-less hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) enables the use of hBOA without the need for tuning parameters for solving each problem instance. T...
