A bivariate probabilistic model-building genetic algorithm for graph bipartitioning
We investigate a bi-variate probabilistic model-building GA for the graph bipartitioning problem. The graph bipartitioning problem is a grouping problem that requires some modifi...

Analysis of mammography reports using maximum variation sampling
A genetic algorithm (GA) was developed to implement a maximum variation sampling technique to derive a subset of data from a large dataset of unstructured mammography reports. It ...

Using quotient graphs to model neutrality in evolutionary search
We introduce quotient graphs for modeling neutrality in evolutionary search. We demonstrate that for a variety of evolutionary computing problems, search can be characterized by g...
