Abstract:Fitness modelling is an area of research which has recently received much interest among the evolutionary computing community. Fitness models can improve the efficiency of optimisation through direct sampling to generate new solutions, guiding of traditional genetic operators or as surrogates for a noisy or long-running fitness functions. In this chapter we discuss the application of Markov networks to fitness modelling of black-box functions within evolutionary computation, accompanied by discussion on the re… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
