We present an analysis of how the genotype-phenotype map in Grammatical Evolution (GE) can effect performance on the Max Problem. Earlier studies have demonstrated a performance decrease for Position independent Grammatical ...
We present a novel visualisation method for island-based evolutionary algorithms based on the concept of tracers as adopted in medicine and molecular biology to follow a biochemical process. For example, a radioisotope or ...
Modularity has proven to be an important aspect of evolutionary computation. This work is concerned with discovering and using modules in one form of grammar-based genetic programming, grammatical evolution (GE). Previous ...
In this paper we present a new variant of the ant problem in the dynamic problem domain. This approach presents a functional dynamism to the problem landscape, where by the behaviour of the ant is driven by its ability to ...
We present a novel application of Grammatical Evolution to the real-world application of femtocell coverage. A symbolic regression approach is adopted in which we wish to uncover an expression to automatically manage the ...
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 ...
This study evolves and categorises a population of conceptual designs by their ability to handle physical constraints. The design process involves a trade-off between form and function. The aesthetic considerations of the ...
