Bayesian Methods for Efficient Genetic Programming

TL;DR: A Bayesian framework for genetic programming (GP) is presented and two GP algorithms derived from the Bayesian GP framework are presented, one is the genetic programming with the adaptive Occam's razor (AOR) designed to evolve parsimonious programs and the other is the Genetic programming with incremental data inheritance (IDI), designed to accelerate evolution by active selection of fitness cases.

Sequential and multi-population memetic algorithms for assigning cells to switches in mobile networks

TL;DR: The results obtained confirm the efficiency and the effectiveness of MA to provide good solutions for moderate- and large-sized cellular mobile networks, in comparison with standard genetic algorithm and with other heuristic methods well known in the literature.

Resource Allocation for Steerable Parallel Parameter Searches

TL;DR: This paper presents a model for user-directed searches, and proposes a number of resource allocation strategies and evaluates them in simulation to find that prioritizing the assignments of tasks to compute resources throughout the search can lead to substantial performance improvements.
