Illinois Genetic Algorithms Laboratory

The talking time is over. Yes, the Chance Discovery Consortium researchers are back in a white and cold Urbana-Champaign. After a 20 hours flight from Japan, they were at 9am sharp in the lab. It has been a long day. I do not know how they deal with their jet lag. We have been discussing […]

Here in no particular order (or consistent selection criteria) are a number of sites featuring GA applications in chemistry, e-commerce, economics, the solution of ordinary differential equations, and water system design. Michigan State University has a nice listing of companies doing genetic algorithms and evolutionary computation here. The forum here claims to have […]

While I was reviewing GECCO papers, it reminded me of different styles of writing presumptions. Some researchers write presumptions implicitly, and others write them explicitly. However, I found that some people misunderstood the meaning of those presumptions. For example, one of presumptions of Dirk Thierens‘ convergence-time model (1994) is infinite population size, […]

Caught the blog pescadordigital during a www.technorati.com fishing expedition. For those who don’t speak Portugese (like me), use Google here to translate the page. The blog refers to another blog called webservcga that appears to be dedicated to reporting a school project at the University of Algarve (great windsurfing I’m told) involving a distributed compact […]

Blog vas animatum has a link to GeneticGraph, a system that uses a spring algorithm in hybrid with a genetic algorithm to do aesthetic graph layout.

The DISCUS experiment continues with a firm pace. We have collected enough media survey questionnaires. After examining the questionnaires, Yuichi Washida has clustered the participants after his research achievements. In his own words on diffusion patterns of knowledge:
“Our arguments consist of two hypotheses: One is the difference of function by gender as a medium of […]

Panda Software, a maker of computer security software, now includes a genetic heuristic engine to detect previously unknown malware without updates or signature files:
Panda has extended its TruPrevent(TM) Technologies and announces the availability of its most innovative heuristic technology against unknown threats: Genetic Heuristic Engine. This new technology integrates correlation of genetic digital signatures and […]

Swimming science claims that the use of a simple GA to select features for data mining of data about swimmers helped improve classification accuracy by as much as 25.37%. Read the abstract of the study here.
