For many large-scale combinatorial search/optimization problems, meta-heuristic algorithms face noisy objective functions, coupled with computationally expensive evaluation times....
An empirical study is performed on the local-optimum space of graph bipartitioning. We examine some statistical features of the fitness landscape. They include the cost-distance c...
Abstract- Usually the offspring-parent fitness correlation is used to visualize and analyze some caracteristics of fitness landscapes such as evolvability. In this paper, we intr...
This paper introduces the concept of fitness cloud as an alternative way to visualize and analyze search spaces than given by the geographic notion of fitness landscape. It is ar...
Abstract. Particle Swarm Optimisers (PSOs) search using a set of interacting particles flying over the fitness landscape. These are typically controlled by forces that encourage ...
—Target shape matching can be used as a quick and easy surrogate task when evaluating optimization algorithms intended for computationally expensive tasks, such as turbine blade ...
