Proceedings Article
Nonstationary function optimization using genetic algorithm with dominance and diploidy
TL;DR: It is found that diploidy and dominance induce a form of long term distributed memory that stores and occasionally remembers good partial solutions that were once desirable and permits faster adaptation to drastic environmental shifts than is possible without the added structures and operators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using genetic algorithms to explore pattern recognition in the immune system
TL;DR: The paper reports simulation experiments on two pattern-recognition problems that are relevant to natural immune systems and reviews the relation between the model and explicit fitness-sharing techniques for genetic algorithms, showing that the immune system model implements a form of implicit fitness sharing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Searching for diverse, cooperative populations with genetic algorithms
TL;DR: Analysis of a simplified genetics-based machine learning system considers a model of an immune system and shows how GAs can automatically and simultaneously discover effective groups of cooperative computational structures.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Fitness inheritance in genetic algorithms
TL;DR: An application to a GA-easy problem shows that greater efficiency can be obtained by evaluating only a small portion of the population, and a real-world search problem confirms these results.
