To Repair or Not to Repair? Investigating the Importance of AB-Cycles for the State-of-the-Art TSP Heuristic EAX
Jonathan Heins, Darrell Whitley, Pascal Kerschke
The Edge Assembly Crossover (EAX) algorithm is the state-of-the-art heuristic for solving the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP). It regularly outperforms other methods, such as t…
Generalizing and Unifying Gray-box Combinatorial Optimization Operators
Francisco Chicano, Darrell Whitley, Gabriela Ochoa +1
Gray-box optimization leverages the information available about the mathematical structure of an optimization problem to design efficient search operators. Efficient hill climbers…
NK Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Clustering
Renato Tinós, Liang Zhao, Francisco Chicano +1
The NK hybrid genetic algorithm for clustering is proposed in this paper. In order to evaluate the solutions, the hybrid algorithm uses the NK clustering validation criterion 2 (NK…
Sparse Mutation Decompositions: Fine Tuning Deep Neural Networks with Subspace Evolution
Tim Whitaker, Darrell Whitley
Neuroevolution is a promising area of research that combines evolutionary algorithms with neural networks. A popular subclass of neuroevolutionary methods, called evolution strateg…
