To complement standard fitness functions, we propose "Fitness Importance" (FI) as a novel meta-heuristic for online learning systems. We define FI and show how it can be...
This paper presents a genetic programming based approach for optimizing the feature extraction step of a handwritten character recognizer. This recognizer uses a simple multilayer ...
In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) is used to design faulttolerant analog controllers for a piezoelectric micro-robot. Firstorder and second-order functions are developed to ...
Hereditary Repulsion (HR) is a selection method coupled with a fitness constraint that substantially improves the performance and consistency of evolutionary algorithms. This als...
This paper presents a novel method to construct a dynamic single assignment (DSA) form of array-intensive, pointer-free C programs (or in any other procedural language). A program ...
