Interactive interpolating crossover allows a user to quickly see a large number of individuals formed by interactively-controlled interpolation between two or more parents. We study it here for the first time in the context ...
In this paper we explore different techniques that allow the user to direct interactive evolutionary search. Broadening interaction beyond simple evaluation increases the amount of feedback and bias a user can apply to the ...
