Abstract. There are conflicting reports over whether multiple independent runs of genetic algorithms (GAs) with small populations can reach solutions of higher quality or can fin...
Abstract. Since typical evolutionary design systems encode only a single artifact with each individual, each time the objective changes a new set of individuals must be evolved. Wh...
Abstract. In developing algorithms that dynamically changes the structure and weights of ANN (Artificial Neural Networks), there must be a proper balance between network complexit...
Abstract. Theoretical and empirical evidence exists that the hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) can solve challenging hierarchical problems and anything easier. Th...
Abstract. In this paper we present an approach to approximate reachability computation for nonlinear continuous systems. Rather than studying a complex nonlinear system ˙x = g(x),...
