Proceedings ArticleDOI
Binary Differential Evolution
TL;DR: Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the technique and the viability for the DE to operate in binary space and an interesting and unique mapping method is examined which will enable the DE algorithm to operate within binary space.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Combining particle swarm optimisation with angle modulation to solve binary problems
TL;DR: In this article, angle modulation is applied to generate a bit string to solve binary problems, using particle swarm optimisation (PSO) to evolve the function coefficients of a trigonometric model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle swarm optimization approaches to coevolve strategies for the iterated prisoner's dilemma
TL;DR: Three different coevolutionary PSO techniques used to evolve playing strategies for the nonzero sum problem of the iterated prisoner's dilemma are presented, with results indicating that NNs cooperate well, but may develop weak strategies that can cause catastrophic collapses.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Comparing PSO structures to learn the game of checkers from zero knowledge
TL;DR: Initial experimental results indicate definite advantages in using certain information sharing structures and swarm size configurations to successfully learn the game of checkers.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Visual exploration of algorithm parameter space
TL;DR: This article describes an intuitive approach that enables researchers and designers of stochastic optimization algorithms to efficiently determine trends and identify optimal regions in an algorithm's parameter search space using information visualization techniques to the domain of swarm intelligence.
