Hyper-heuristics can be thought of as “heuristics to choose heuristics”. They are concerned with adaptively finding solution methods, rather than directly producing a solutio...
Evolutionary Computation is an exciting research field with the power to assist researchers in the task of solving hard optimization problems (i.e., problems where the exploitabl...
This paper introduces a new component based model that makes it relatively simple to prove that certain types of landscapes are elementary. We use the model to reconstruct proofs ...
For centuries it was thought that bacteria live asocial lives. However, recent discoveries show many species of bacteria communicate in order to perform tasks previously thought t...
This work provides an analysis of using the evolutionary algorithm EPNet to create ensembles of artificial neural networks to solve a range of forecasting tasks. Several previous...
