This paper proposes a new evolutionary method for generating ANNs. In this method, a simple real-number string is used to codify both architecture and weights of the networks. Ther...
— Hornby’s Age-Layered Population Structure claims to reduce premature convergence in Evolutionary Algorithms. We provide the first evaluation of ALPS on a realworld problem ...
The work presented in this paper is part of the development of a robotic system able to learn context dependent visual clues to navigate in its environment. We focus on the obstacl...
This paper presents a particle swarm optimizer for solving constrained optimization problems which adopts a very small population size (five particles). The proposed approach uses...

Most Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms are able to find a single (or few) optimal, or near-optimal, solutions to difficult (NP-hard) problems. An issue though is that a s...
