The limitations of linear chromosomes and conventional recombination operators are reviewed. It is argued that there are at least three classes of problems for which such represen...
We present an application of arti cial neural networks to machine condition monitoring. Since several signal preprocessing methods produce high dimensional feature vectors there i...
This paper introduces a new optimization technique called hyperplane annealing. It is similar to the mean field annealing approach to combinatorial optimization. Both annealing te...
In this paper, we describe the application of a new type of genetic algorithm called the Structured Genetic Algorithm (sGA) for function optimization in nonstationary environments...
