Optimizing Chlorination in Water Distribution Systems via Surrogate-assisted Neuroevolution
Rivaaj Monsia, Daniel Young, Olivier Francon +1
Ensuring the microbiological safety of large, heterogeneous water distribution systems (WDS) typically requires managing appropriate levels of disinfectant residuals including chlo…
Leveraging Evolutionary Surrogate-Assisted Prescription in Multi-Objective Chlorination Control Systems
Rivaaj Monsia, Olivier Francon, Daniel Young +1
This short, written report introduces the idea of Evolutionary Surrogate-Assisted Prescription (ESP) and presents preliminary results on its potential use in training real-world ag…
Discovering Effective Policies for Land-Use Planning with Neuroevolution
Daniel Young, Olivier Francon, Elliot Meyerson +5
How areas of land are allocated for different uses, such as forests, urban areas, and agriculture, has a large effect on the terrestrial carbon balance, and therefore climate chang…
From Prediction to Prescription: Evolutionary Optimization of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Risto Miikkulainen, Olivier Francon, Elliot Meyerson +3
Several models have been developed to predict how the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, and how it could be contained with non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancin…
Effective Reinforcement Learning through Evolutionary Surrogate-Assisted Prescription
Olivier Francon, Santiago Gonzalez, Babak Hodjat +4
There is now significant historical data available on decision making in organizations, consisting of the decision problem, what decisions were made, and how desirable the outcomes…
Evolving Deep Neural Networks
Risto Miikkulainen, Jason Liang, Elliot Meyerson +8
The success of deep learning depends on finding an architecture to fit the task. As deep learning has scaled up to more challenging tasks, the architectures have become difficult t…
