In the pertinent literature, an ongoing discussion can be found about whether evolutionary algorithms are better suited for optimization or adaptation. Unfortunately, the pertinent...
The island model for evolutionary algorithms allows to delay the global convergence of the evolution process and encourage diversity. However, solving large size and time-intensiv...
Energy flows in ecological systems which are determined by the structure of the ecological network influence the evolution of the network itself. The total system energy throughflo...
Abstract. In the paper, a new method of decision tree learning for costsensitive classification is presented. In contrast to the traditional greedy top-down inducer in the proposed...
This paper presents an approach to the joint optimization of neural network structure and weights which can take advantage of backpropagation as a specialized decoder. The approac...
