SPENSER: Towards a NeuroEvolutionary Approach for Convolutional Spiking Neural Networks
Henrique Branquinho, Nuno Lourenço, Ernesto Costa
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have attracted recent interest due to their energy efficiency and biological plausibility. However, the performance of SNNs still lags behind traditi…
Reducing the Price of Stable Cable Stayed Bridges with CMA-ES
Gabriel Fernandes, Nuno Lourenço, João Correia
The design of cable-stayed bridges requires the determination of several design variables' values. Civil engineers usually perform this task by hand as an iteration of steps that s…
Automatic Design of Telecom Networks with Genetic Algorithms
João Correia, Gustavo Gama, João Tiago Guerrinha +4
With the increasing demand for high-quality internet services, deploying GPON/Fiber-to-the-Home networks is one of the biggest challenges that internet providers have to deal with…
All You Need Is Sex for Diversity
José Maria Simões, Nuno Lourenço, Penousal Machado
Maintaining genetic diversity as a means to avoid premature convergence is critical in Genetic Programming. Several approaches have been proposed to achieve this, with some focusin…
Context Matters: Adaptive Mutation for Grammars
Pedro Carvalho, Jessica Mégane, Nuno Lourenço +1
This work proposes Adaptive Facilitated Mutation, a self-adaptive mutation method for Structured Grammatical Evolution (SGE), biologically inspired by the theory of facilitated var…
Adversarial Robustness Assessment of NeuroEvolution Approaches
Inês Valentim, Nuno Lourenço, Nuno Antunes
NeuroEvolution automates the generation of Artificial Neural Networks through the application of techniques from Evolutionary Computation. The main goal of these approaches is to b…
