Effective Mutation Rate Adaptation through Group Elite Selection

Akarsh Kumar, Bo Liu, Risto Miikkulainen +1

Evolutionary algorithms are sensitive to the mutation rate (MR); no single value of this parameter works well across domains. Self-adaptive MR approaches have been proposed but the…

DIAS: A Domain-Independent Alife-Based Problem-Solving System

Babak Hodjat, Hormoz Shahrzad, Risto Miikkulainen

A domain-independent problem-solving system based on principles of Artificial Life is introduced. In this system, DIAS, the input and output dimensions of the domain are laid out i…

Evolving GAN Formulations for Higher Quality Image Synthesis

Santiago Gonzalez, Mohak Kant, Risto Miikkulainen

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have extended deep learning to complex generation and translation tasks across different data modalities. However, GANs are notoriously diffi…

The Traveling Observer Model: Multi-task Learning Through Spatial Variable Embeddings

Elliot Meyerson, Risto Miikkulainen

This paper frames a general prediction system as an observer traveling around a continuous space, measuring values at some locations, and predicting them at others. The observer is…

Creative AI Through Evolutionary Computation: Principles and Examples

Risto Miikkulainen

The main power of artificial intelligence is not in modeling what we already know, but in creating solutions that are new. Such solutions exist in extremely large, high-dimensional…

Characterizing the Effect of Sentence Context on Word Meanings: Mapping Brain to Behavior

N. Aguirre-Celis, R. Miikkulainen

Semantic feature models have become a popular tool for prediction and interpretation of fMRI data. In particular, prior work has shown that differences in the fMRI patterns in sent…
