Abstract: Surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms have received a surge of attentions for their promising ability of solving expensive optimization problems. Existing surrogate-assisted ...

The first time I used ChatGPT to code, back in early 2023, I was reminded of “The Monkey’s Paw,” a classic horror story about an accursed talisman that grants wishes, but always by the most malevolent ...

Library Evolutionary Algorithms for Clustering (LEAC) is a library of genetic algorithms to solve the problem of partition clustering. It includes 22 classification genetic algorithms for solving ...

Ask a chatbot if it’s conscious, and it will likely say no—unless it’s Anthropic’s Claude 4. “I find myself genuinely uncertain about this,” it replied in a recent conversation. “When I process ...

On their debut album, the Vancouver punks distill the urgency and anxiety of 1990s emo and post-hardcore into their own insistent, gnarly sound. Recorded by Mariessa McCleod in Vancouver, with Jack ...

Fracture healing is a complex process which sometimes results in non-unions, leading to prolonged disability and high morbidity. Traditional methods of optimising fracture treatments, such as in vitro ...

Numerous studies revealed optimization techniques' applicability in minimizing the costs of reinforced concrete buildings. However, the existing literature has narrowly focused on optimizing buildings ...

In response to the shortcomings of the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) such as low convergence accuracy and slow convergence speed, a Multi-Strategy-Driven Salp Swarm Algorithm (MSD-SSA) was proposed.

A neutral network connects all genotypes with equivalent phenotypes in a fitness landscape and plays an important role in the mutational robustness and evolvability of biomolecules. In contrast to ...
