The Connectivity of NK Landscapes' Basins: A Network Analysis
Sébastien Verel, Gabriela Ochoa, Marco Tomassini
We propose a network characterization of combinatorial fitness landscapes by adapting the notion of inherent networks proposed for energy surfaces. We use the well-known family of…
A Study of NK Landscapes' Basins and Local Optima Networks
Gabriela Ochoa, Marco Tomassini, Sébastien Verel +1
We propose a network characterization of combinatorial fitness landscapes by adapting the notion of inherent networks proposed for energy surfaces (Doye, 2002). We use the well-kno…
How to use the Scuba Diving metaphor to solve problem with neutrality ?
Philippe Collard, Sébastien Verel, Manuel Clergue
We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality which exists in many real-…
Scuba Search : when selection meets innovation
Sébastien Verel, Philippe Collard, Manuel Clergue
We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality in fitness landscape. Desp…
Where are Bottlenecks in NK Fitness Landscapes?
Sébastien Verel, Philippe Collard, Manuel Clergue
Usually the offspring-parent fitness correlation is used to visualize and analyze some caracteristics of fitness landscapes such as evolvability. In this paper, we introduce a more…
From Royal Road to Epistatic Road for Variable Length Evolution Algorithm
Michael Defoin Platel, Sebastien Verel, Manuel Clergue +1
Although there are some real world applications where the use of variable length representation (VLR) in Evolutionary Algorithm is natural and suitable, an academic framework is la…
