Abstract— The role of gradient estimation in global optimization is investigated. The concept of a regional gradient is introduced as a tool for analyzing and comparing different...
Abstract— In this paper we wish to investigate how optimization problems involving angles can best be handled when using Differential Evolution (DE) as the optimization technique...
— The Redundancy Allocation Problem (RAP) is a kind of reliability optimization problems. It involves the selection of components with appropriate levels of redundancy or reliabi...
— Self Modifying CGP (SMCGP) is a developmental form of Cartesian Genetic Programming(CGP). It differs from CGP by including primitive functions which modify the program. Beginni...

— In a real-world, labor market consist of employer and employee, and these individuals form relationship through mutual interactions. This paper mainly focuses on development of...
—We conduct an evolutionary simulation to explore the coevolution of language and a language-related ability, intentionality sharing. Our simulation shows that during the evoluti...
— We propose a robot path planning method based on particle swarm optimization in an uncertain environment. We consider the case that a robot’s cognition to its environment is ...
Abstract— A combination of backpropagation and neuroevolution is used to train a neural network visual controller for agents in the Quake II environment. The agents must learn to...
Abstract— Tuning the parameters of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) to a given problem at hand is essential for good algorithm performance. Optimizing parameter values is, however,...
- Very recently bacterial foraging has emerged as a powerful technique for solving optimization problems. In this paper, we introduce a micro-bacterial foraging optimization algori...
