Finding Molecules with Specific Properties: Simulated Annealing vs. Evolution
Dominic Mashak, S. A. Alexander
We compare the ability of a simulated annealing program and an evolutionary algorithm to find molecules with large molecular average hyperpolarizabilities. This property is an impo…
A Quality Diversity Approach to Evolving Model Rockets
Jacob Schrum, Cody Crosby
Model rocketry presents a design task accessible to undergraduates while remaining an interesting challenge. Allowing for variation in fins, nose cones, and body tubes presents a r…
Evolving Flying Machines in Minecraft Using Quality Diversity
Alejandro Medina, Melanie Richey, Mark Mueller +1
Minecraft is a great testbed for human creativity that has inspired the design of various structures and even functioning machines, including flying machines. EvoCraft is an API fo…
Hybrid Encoding For Generating Large Scale Game Level Patterns With Local Variations
Jacob Schrum, Benjamin Capps, Kirby Steckel +2
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a powerful indirect genotype-to-phenotype mapping for evolutionary search. Much previous work applying GANs to level generation focuses o…
Using Multiple Generative Adversarial Networks to Build Better-Connected Levels for Mega Man
Benjamin Capps, Jacob Schrum
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can generate levels for a variety of games. This paper focuses on combining GAN-generated segments in a snaking pattern to create levels for…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. XII. Broad-Line Region Modeling of NGC 5548
P. R. Williams, A. Pancoast, T. Treu +155
We present geometric and dynamical modeling of the broad line region for the multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign focused on NGC 5548 in 2014. The dataset includes photo…
