Using feature-based fitness evaluation in symbolic regression with added noise
Symbolic regression is a popular genetic programming (GP) application. Typically, the fitness function for this task is based on a sum-of-errors, involving the values of the depe...

Evolutionary Neuroestimation of Fitness Functions
Abstract. One of the most influential factors in the quality of the solutions found by an evolutionary algorithm is the appropriateness of the fitness function. Specifically in ...

On Customizing Evolutionary Learning of Agent Behavior
The fitness function of an evolutionary algorithm is one of the few possible spots where application knowledge can be made available to the algorithm. But the representation and u...

Latent variable crossover for k-tablet structures and its application to lens design problems
This paper presents the Real-coded Genetic Algorithms for high-dimensional ill-scaled structures, what is called, the ktablet structure. The k-tablet structure is the landscape th...

Towards an empirical measure of evolvability
Genetic representations that do not employ a one-to-one mapping of genotype to phenotype are known as indirect encodings, and can be much more efficient than direct encodings for ...

An empirical study of the robustness of two module clustering fitness functions
Two of the attractions of search-based software engineering (SBSE) derive from the nature of the fitness functions used to guide the search. These have proved to be highly robust...

Local and global order 3/2 convergence of a surrogate evolutionary algorithm
A Quasi-Monte-Carlo method based on the computation of a surrogate model of the fitness function is proposed, and its convergence at super-linear rate 3/2 is proved under rather ...
