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...
Abstract. In this paper we show how tools based on extensions of Price’s equation allow us to look inside production-level EAs to see how selection, representation, and reproduct...

Abstract. Improving image quality is the backbone of highly competitive display industry. Contemporary video processing system design is a challenging optimization problem. General...
Software systems are used regularly in safety-relevant applications. Therefore, the occurrence of critical defects may not only cause costly recalls but may also endanger human liv...
We analyse the probability 1 − δ to be in an optimum solution after k steps of an inhomogeneous Markov chain which is specified by a logarithmic cooling schedule c(k) = Γ/ ln ...
This paper presents a study of different models for the growth curves and takeover time in a distributed EA (dEA). The calculation of the takeover time and the dynamical growth cu...
Abstract. Training neural networks is a complex task of great importance in the supervised learning field of research. In this work we tackle this problem with five algorithms, a...
