The structure of evolutionary exploration: On crossover, buildings blocks and Estimation-Of-Distribution Algorithms
Marc Toussaint
The notion of building blocks can be related to the structure of the offspring probability distribution: loci of which variability is strongly correlated constitute a building bloc…
Neutrality: A Necessity for Self-Adaptation
Marc Toussaint, Christian Igel
Self-adaptation is used in all main paradigms of evolutionary computation to increase efficiency. We claim that the basis of self-adaptation is the use of neutrality. In the absenc…
A neural model for multi-expert architectures
Marc Toussaint
We present a generalization of conventional artificial neural networks that allows for a functional equivalence to multi-expert systems. The new model provides an architectural fre…
On model selection and the disability of neural networks to decompose tasks
Marc Toussaint
A neural network with fixed topology can be regarded as a parametrization of functions, which decides on the correlations between functional variations when parameters are adapted.…
